SCOOTER DETAILS

‘Eclipse’, the first legal rave nightclub in the 90s. Perception raves / Renaissance club in Mansfield. The Eclipse was always a good night with good memories. API Li150 Series 2. January 2016 for £500. I always wanted to build a low rider, which would be reminiscent of the American 1950s low riders. Two years, by me. All fabrication, welding and machining done by me. 225 Mugello. AF Race 58. 30mm Dellorto. Might be Janspeed (heavily modified). Four-plate. Li150. Myself. Chalky. Engine pulls well up to mid-range, then flat for a bit and then takes off again. Top speed: 70mph. 60mph. So far… Paintwork and graphics by me, artwork by Dewey. The frame is candy red. Making the back end pivot etc. Just about everything fought me! Go for it; be adventurous, there are too many standard scooters out there for my liking. 2018 VMSC Extravaganza, Coventry. Best custom first time shown. Best engineered. John Corcoran – for the seat covering. Hee made one and it wasn’t what I had in mind so he started totally again at no extra charge! Protec Shock – made it an inch shorter at no extra charge. Dewey Franklin – worked on the murals.
