Getting all the kink’s worked out.

So newped is coming along nicely. Got a polini 19mm intake on the way, then onto PHBG land… wanna get a new pipe too… Either one of the bennassar style ones or the polini circuit for NOI’s (only one left in stock @ 77, so don’t buy it cuz it’s mine!)

Currently she’s got a 15.15, homemade pipe, 70cc polini kit.

I pulled the cylinder off for the first time yesterday and it looks pretty nasty, doesn’t seem to have a loss of compression though, and she runs good… We’ll see if it holds up…

Let’s give it another go, yeah?

GNARELLI PART DEUX: The Not-So-Gnar elli

NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SUPERSPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s right bitches, I got a new ped. Since my old SSXL got stolen it’s only fitting that I get another. This ones black and it’s an ’80. Current setup:

15.15 Dellorto SHA (converting to spigot tomorrow night)
Homemade pipe (one part estoril, one part homoet 4p) – not pictured
Polini 70cc

Going to be putting a lot of work into this bike, it’s gonna rip for sure. Thinking about carb/pipe setups, race rubber, etc etc. I can’t wait to tear into this thing. The only good thing about winter is projects.

And she’s gone.

11/06/09 Never Forget. The day someone walked off with my pride and joy.

Wasn’t even done tuning her. Had just experienced the joy of a kitted garelli supersport xl.

Stolen.

Gone.

This sucks so much worse than I ever could have imagined. People: Lock up your peds and guard them with your life. One day you might have a building manager interrupt your morning meeting to tell you your precious joy was stolen from you.
