Two down, one to go?

04.23.2003

I currently have no mopeds. Not for riding, anyhow. The Motron's in fine shape. Except that the kick-stand spring broke. And I discovered that my tires are in bad shape; I shouldn't be able to see the inner tube. Not safe. So in the shop it goes.

Dan got the new wheel, tires, and chain on Lucia (my 1977 Bianchi-Snark Eagle Deluxe). So it's almost ready to roll. He's gonna swap off the carb and Polini exhaust from The Motron onto Lucia and get her polished, tuned, and ready for me. Tomorrow? Friday?

Motron is now "the race bike" (Lucia is "the show bike"). A brand new LeoVinci performance exhaust I've been hoarding (sorry, they no longer make exhausts for Minarelli V1 engines) is going on along w/ a Dell'Orto 16.16 carburetor. New tires, chain, and petcock rounds out the order. And then ... Gidee-up!
