For those of you who dint know, TVS scooty is also a part of my 2-stroke family. Actually belongs to my wife & has come to me as a dahej (Dowry). LOL that was the only thing i got & that too in pretty bad shape.
This scooty was bought in 1999 first hand & has been abused like crazy since then. Typical ladies driving estyle!!!!!!!
When i rode this for the first time, i was like how do ladies ride such a crap!!! Anyways have been regularly servicing this & have made some replacements like Clutch, drive belt, jet kit. It hardly does 50Kmph & pulling with 1+1 is a pain.
Hence started the complain from wife, "Why dont you get me a brand new scooter, like activa or deo?? You keep filling our garage with 20yr old junk
(referring to my Red RD350, please guys we all know ladies have minimal idea about what twin cylinder is or heck how 2-strokes work etc etc) & can't get me a new one?
Some funny converstion:
Me: What is the problem with this scooty?
She: Its old.
Me: WTF (not literally or else i would have be clobbered) !!!!!
She: I don't know, get me a new one.
Me: What if i made this a brand new piece, right from engine to body?
She: Hmmmmmm....... Nice......... Can you do that?
Me: You asking me lady? Ofcourse i can do it. Give me a month's time & will give you a brand new scooty rebuilt.
She:
Me: Thank god, saved Rs.50,000/- (Price of deo or activa).
But anyways guys, my original intent was to save this 2-stroke & not sell it for some 1000 bucks.
Spoke to my friend (Tuner) & he was like, WTF, scooty???? I was like yes, please please please....... Actually my guy is not into < 100cc category, but anyways he agreed to help.
Now here is a brief list of things we intend to do:
Thanks for looking.
