Pissing scooter :D

[L-Jam]

For some reason, the bearing on my Gilera 50cc just decided to grind up, so now its going to take my dad the best part of a week to fix it.. It wont cost much, maybe A fiver, its just an annoyance

However, there is always something good in everything bad (as the old adage goes) - because the front panel has to come off, im respraying it black (from yellow) which makes my bike about 9003% less gay! I only havent resprayed it yet because i wouldnt be able to use my scooter in the mean time, but since its being fixed anyway.. happy days

Just thought i would share my problem with you lovely people

Is it effectively changing the colour of the scooter? If so you need to inform DVLA.

Thanks for the reminder , because yes the scooter will be effectively black (apart from the wheels).

And i should of mentioned, I will be helping - but my dad will be showing me what to do so i dont completely shag it.

Its some sort of metal thing that connects to the front forks on the bike, near the wheel. Dont ask me

[ljwalker]

sounds cool post a pic when it is all sprayed up what model of gilera is it?.

[L-Jam]

sorry benjani, i cant get ur link to work - keeps saying cannot find page or what ever

Its nothing special, a gilera skp50, y reg, but its derestricted and got a sports exaust (thats definitely spelt wrong) so I dont really mind - I would love an Aprilia rs50, but there is no point when in 8 months I'm getting an Aprilia rs125

Good luck getting it sorted. I hated being without my scooter ( I had a Runner 125 ), you having to rely on buses?

Have you got your heart set on an RS125? Could be worth thinking about a trail-style 125, cheaper and tougher.
