Winter Riding

nobody@vox.com(Marshall) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 13:08:19 -0500

Since the Motobecane is belt driven I am fortunate enough to ride the Magnum this winter. It's internal chain drive won't slip in the the wettest or coldest of conditions allowing me to get back and forth to school and work. In the month of Nov. I struggled to get the Motobecane started and it was constantly slipping, but now I won't have that problem. The Magnum is kitted with a 70cc cylinder and 15mm carb. As it sits in this photo is tops around 35 with mediocre torque. I am currently fine tuning and hope to achieve low 40's with awesome torque before summer. What it needs is a better performance pipe and some clutch work.

A renewed Moby

Super Moby w/ Doppler Pulley

After getting the Moby running last week the drive pulley decided to chew up all it's teeth. I was riding through campus and all of a sudden I lost momentum, but my engine was revving to the moon. I looked down and saw the carnage. It's not a horrible repair, but one where I had to order parts and wait. I got them in the mail on Friday and took them with me to Indy on Saturday to hangout with Lance & Candi. I was able to get everything put together and running just right. We went for a 6 hour ride through the city with numerous stops for snacks and gas. I had an awesome time visiting and am now super stoked I have a running moped to get me to classes and work.

About 22 seconds left in the video you can see me in an orange shirt with a yellow moped and my father is right behind me.

It's a 1980 Garelli Super Sport XL Ltd. with a rare two-speed automatic transmission that works!

It's official. My project is now a running moped!!!! I put it all together yesterday while we had the awesome weather and now I'm tuning it. I actually rode it up and down the street. I don't have any photos yet, but I will soon. I also hope to upload a video of it. Yay for awesomeness!
