Hello!
Ive started this blog as a kinda log of what i get up to on my little scooter.
I have a gy6 125cc pulse phantom sports scooter.
I have had this bike from nearly new (300 miles on the clock)
when i went in to the shop to buy this bike i had only one real thing i needed it to do.
That was to go at 60mph.
Anyone who has had a bike or drives one knows that being able to travel at the speed limit is a must, there are a hell of a lot of ass holes driving on 4 wheels who will do the dumbest things to overtake someone whos going a little slow.
this endangers you, the dumb ass driver of the car and any poor sod coming the other way!
any way the bike shop, JB BIKES said it did and them being the official dealer of the bike, who am i to argue.
any way after a month of wondering why im doing 65 and drivers were overtaking round blind bends and all sorts i got one of the android speedo apps and it turns out i was only going 50 mph!
so as you can guess i was more than a little annoyed that i had been mislead in to buying a bike that basically was an unrestricted 50cc.
what added extra annoyance is that i had taken my bike to be repaired as the carb diaphragm blew and instead of replacing that they put in a whole new carb as well as a dodgy weld on my egr pipe which blew the whole thing off 200 miles later while on my way too cornwall!
to rub salt in to the wound the new carb blew once i had made it down.
after that final straw of 3 shitty things for 3
I decided that JB BIKES were crap and i would do the work my self and never use them again.
since then its been plain sailing. not a single fault on the bike. well other than things i've done to it.
so basically this is a how to blog and a learn from my dumb errors blog.
