Time to get riding pants
at maximum torque, and past 1/2 throttle...for too long
then its like the bike runs out of fuel….it just dies.
at fisrt i thought it was because the bike as hot…fan does go on when i rev high for some periods and also it was very humid for some time…but since it starting raiing past couople days i went out for some proper testing just on the outskirts of town and in my humble diagnoses….
i have not the fuck idea what the fuck is happening. according to the service booklet the fuel line is to be replaced at 12 000kms…
the reason i think its this is becasue when it dies, and i restrt it (having an electric fuel pump) it just goes again like i didnt just almost shat my pants…
so its definnitly not happening because the bike gets hot. its jut dies at if i stay at max torque for too ling ad open the throttle wider…and it makes that ‘’i have no fuel sound’
at one point i did think i might not have enough fuel and my bike is telling me i cant be driving like an iddiot we will get stuck in the sand and youll have push me home…’’
anyway. im hoping its the fuel line that needs replacing…i feel so professional coming to this conclusion, like i know wtf a fuel line looks like..
Turns out there was some gunk in the fuel tank....
My heart is set on upgrading to a bigger bike.
It's the fear you have to get over. The bike can make it. Will make it.
It's a machine. It can do it broken. Because it can be fixed.
It's the fragile mind that must wrestled into submission.
It's a bit scary. You could go to fast, slip, not see a cow and bam into a river. It would take the local farmers a couple days to notice. So there's this battle safety Vs fear.
I want to have fun, but i dnt want to die.
I was safe and I had fun.
The bushveld is quiet except for the bugs and bees who think you are a flower. Every now and then a buck or wilder beast will think you are a predator and start running along the fence with you. They are quite fast. Dnt underestimate that slow looking gallop.
It's time for a bigger bike tho.
It's been some 3 years that I've been zooming around town on Dewaldt. Recently celebrated 17 thousand kilometers.
But you see, I live 1000km from where I work. I'd love to drive down to the coast the long way and still be in time for dinner.
So I got me a car. A little old skalompie. It won't go far, but it's going to pick up the slack with regards to where I can move to around town and what I am able to move with me.
This will give me time to replace some major things on the bike (shocks) while still having transport. I'm also in the process of fixing up my old scooter so yay.
But ya, anyway. I've never had a car before so even this yes is new. Not too sure, but I think the skalompie might be big enough to attach a trailer.... possibilties are endless....
The road that leads to the neighboring town
160km.
The surface changes quickly. There was a patch of sand and I quickly had to learn that balance is maintained with momentum and don't put your foot down - just keep moving.
Couldn't maintain a good AVG speed throughout; so it took me about 3 hours.
Didn't crash this time; however with all the bouncing about I lost my back brakes 15km into the trip. So that was fun
It's the rainy season, so everything is green outchea. Note the change in raid surface. During the last 80km or so I could AVG high 70s. Even me I was surprised. I was even standing at one point.
Used less fuel on the tar road back. Was able to put 130kmh on the dash - for about 5 seconds before the red light went on.
Additionally. It would be good to invest in an extended visor. I would also need to replace the back shock as it's been 17k miles. I keep asking people if they think my tires need replacing, theyre just like "nah, you still good" but I think I can get a nice set of off-road tyres at this point. Maybe even lose a tooth on the rear sprocket.
i don't get passenger princesses i get passenger psychologists. picked someone up today and ten minutes into our journey they asked me do you get angry when you're scared and i was like uh i guess yeah why and they were like because you're driving this car like you wish it could feel pain.
Shoutout to my engine, the realest G
The scary part of doing 90 in a 40 zone is seeing a bird casually over taking you around a corner
I've had my beloved scooter for about a month. One of my partners had initially said it was going to become my entire personality. They were correct; however, their correctness in this matter does not distract from the fact that, with much effort and suffering, I have relearned much of my previous motorcycling skills. I am a queer scooterist and moped enthusiast, but my first choice was a van, as I had planned to live in it and travel the continent, as nomads do. Despit that, I elected for a much more intimate option with which to see the world, as I am exposed to the elements. This is grand. I named my scooter Horse. I grew up with horses. I could even be reasonably referred to as a horse girl, seeing as I have one currently, albeit a fiberglass and aluminum construct. Either or, I may one day gather up my barest essentials, a tent and sleeping bag, and some gumption. Upon the assembly of this protagonist kit, I might just take a notion to ride off into the sunset. After all, that's what horses are known for, right? Surely, this harebrained scheme of mine, haphazard and ramshackle though it may be, will succeed. Sure, it may be solipsistic to label myself as the main character, but how else will I cope with the constant disassociation from the dreadful reality of... well, reality?
I, the lonesome heroine, will sit astride my horse and gallivant and bandy and carouse as heroines do. A saloon with insufficient doors and haggard ranch hands awaits me. Well, that and a whole lot of Big Papa Pickles™.
"Pickle barrel cowgirl," they'll call me. My vinegar brine stench will precede my arrival by at least a half a minute or more. Yes... Pickle barrel cowgirl...
Yeehaw
This almost made me cry.
I dress like a Power Ranger when I ride
I fucking LOVE Power Rangers. I've always been a huge fan of the pink ranger, and I have been dressing as her for the past few days when I hop onto my scooter. I am so fucking cool, I think to myself, not once considering that I look like a massive goober. However, that's not the point. I don't care if I look like a massive goober. I'm having fun. And I guess that's the point right? Having fun. I ride a scooter as my main form of transportation. It opens all sorts of possibilities for hooligan behavior, but I have instead chosen to cosplay and observe the posted limit and other such lawful activities. Lol, take THAT Rita Repulsa!
Had a pink scooter bfore the pink. Remember two little girls in the back est of their car losing their utmost shit when they saw me drive past.
Shaninagans on two wheels for the win
i love that motorcycles exist. like i'm genuinely so glad that someone was like "what if bikes were as fast as cars and could turn you into roadkill if you hit a pothole"
what if there was a vehicle so dangerous you had to wear armor to drive it
bro....mechanixs....
so the last pooblem was fixed and ive been zipping across town again...but ive learnt to slow down...ive got like 3.5k in fines already...even th eother day iwas driving slow behind a triffic vehicle....but ever so often....any way
more problems...uhg. my mechanic is being too busy to come change my chain and fuel line. also the potholes here are so bad its messing up my whole front end and the way things sound, i will need to replace tyhe fron fairing soon - i hooe i used fairing correctly...oil is coming out the fork, the breaks are making a sqeek....but ya, 14 000km on the clock today.

Bike’s back....
sigh...but
there seems to be some other problem now. nothing of the recent machanic, something i noticed happen just before i sent it in to him for service,that i thought meant the bike needs a service now and not when that guy has time....so i walked to work until he lent me the scooter to jot around town...
anywhich way...two months later finaly got it back and now it seems that the serice didnt ifix the problem
scooter commuter
been behaving badly on the mechanic's scooter. lol.
what an actual death trap these things are. yes. the engine on these things will never be down for too long. ive seen inexperienced mechanics take them apart and assemble with mere YouTube videos.
but its not the engine that keeps you safe. as a PSA....if you own a scooter and make use of it to regularly scoot between traffic heather and thither...please take good care of it. you are the slowest and smallest aspect of the road family and there is an increase of their presence on the road. be careful.
we cant just rely on motorist to notice us. be vigilant. make sure your vehicle is roadworthy and safe. check you breaks, your lights, practice in safe spaces....be safe!
scooting around
so the machanic has graciously given me hes old busted scooter while he works on Dewaldt.
he told me to not let the cops catch me. lol.
found out later, when they actually did catch me (after a short chase because i never check my mirrors), that the scooter had been scrapped since 2010. the numberplate was also damaged. and they warned me that the front tire could be the end of me. lol. 1700 credits.
im waiting till they send me to jail for a weekend because of un paid parking tickets.
anyway, the scooter is fun
hello there
update
had some issues with my previous mechanic. felt like they shouldve done a better job at, wel, everything. got a new mechanic in the mean time.
new things learnt: not every mechanic is a good mechanic.
and also, maybe keep fluids topped up in warm weather as running the bike on a dry radiator messes with , amung other things, the gasket.
600 credits for a gasket and two moths later its finally almost over. the bike is due to arrive this weekend.
very excitedness
I've learnt alot driving a bike that is not 100%.
Been pushing it to the limit for some time.
Could feel as the engin wore and tore as I did such
Will need to look at some minor upgrades in the near future. Will post more soon
Ciao for now
So been some time
I've had some trouble over the last couple months with the bike, so here's an update
So they finally rebuilt my bike a couple months ago, but it came back with some problems.
The back brake (which I've posted about before) was engaging waaay to early and over heating the engin within the first five minutes of driving - Fan going on and everything. Took it back and then there was an issue of the number plate having gone missing. The mechanics could tell me if they lost it during tests (which I doubted they even did) or if I did it in the two days I had the bike. Also the indicator infront seemed to only stop working when I was doing high speeds or on the high wat (very concerned there). Me and the manager came to conclude that we were going half on the number plate and any way I decided to not take the bike back there again.
I realized that it didn't seem like they had the expertise required to do a professional job. I was disappointed and let down. It also became clear that they were trying to milk me for money as I was trying to get ny scooter fixed; billing me for things I didn't ask for and labour I explicitly said No.
So I decided that by the time I would need another service I would look for another provider.
Luckily one of the parents of the children I tutor math to is a bike mechanic at BMW and said he'd be happy to service the bike for me.
Anyway. Its almost 500km over its 12 000km service, leaking oil and when I'm in 3rd or 4th gear for too long it's dies out. Lots of tangle noise when left off the accelerator....so yeah. I've been slowing down. Doing the speed limit the past 700 km. My last 5l of fuel lasted twice as long as usual. Been taking lift to work for a week now.
Also, been driving around with no bumb3r plate for 3 months so I'm avoiding all highways and by ways. Taking the edge of town to get to where I want to go. License disk expired about a year ago. Two tickets for driving without a permit....im defs moving up the blacklist
