Re: And todays cockup is !???
Nope. The bloody broken reed petal got caught in the exhaust tail pipe & swivelled around to block it up every time the scoot was kicked over.

Re: Indian 225 kits on eBay
Get it sent to AF for a rebore and new piston, then they'll send it to the shower that run this gaff for tweaking. Did mine two or three years ago and its still going well. Good price all in, AND you can put a nice shiny 225 badge next to the SX on yer legshields.

I just assume that every car is out to kill me! Me to...
