After a thankfully unproblematic ride from Hull to Llandudno and back a few weeks ago, i’ve had two breakdowns in two weeks.
First was due to my clutch essentially exploding on my way home from work. Luckily, Ian Stuart Okey dropped everything and missed his evening news to come a pick me and my scooter up, so big thank you to Ian and also to Mike VW who came and brought my scooter up to work for me the following Tuesday.
While being at the unit, me and Scott stripped the engine and encountered numerous problems and bodges in the process… but I was back up and running by Friday, ready for Mabelthorpe on the Saturday.
I made it 8 miles before I had another breakdown… typical. After spending a while at the side of the road, I had Sid from Scooter Slags pull up beside me, who spread the word that I was, yet again, stranded. I was later picked up by a very kind gent, who had seen a post made by Sid and came to help me get back to Driffield and my scooter back to work. I now know my CDI had gone down.
I would like to give a big thank you to both Sid and Tommy for their kindness on Saturday and taking the time to help me out. It is massively appreciated and I owe you both a drink🍺!
Stay safe and KTF
Scarlett.
