I love my Mk1
(It's Bluebird's old one )
(It's Bluebird's old one )
I plan to test the waters with a Mk3/Mk4 Tmax at a reasonable cost, then decide if upgrading to a newer scoot in future is a necessary/worthwhile expense.
I also hope to revisit Northern Spain in a year or two by Tmax using the Portsmouth/Santander ferry service, probably keeping it simple by wearing Draggin' jeans for riding with evening gear in an Ortleib bag strapped on the rear seat plus some waterproofs. A bikermate with a Burgman 400 has never toured abroad so he is keen to give it a try, I hope a pair of maxi scooters will do the job in comfort and be a fun trip.......... If Andres can tour on a Tomos moped, I guess anything works.
My TMax will def be doing the S of France next year and I might even take it to Asturias next July but we are two up and I might struggle for luggage.
Fitted the Akra tonight . Took a while as had to remove a few panels to get at the headers more easily. Looks better and feels quicker but rather muted !!
Most likely will drill baffles out tomorrow . Looks easy enough as carbon tip removes easily with two screws giving access to spot welds which are where grub screws would have been on Euro3 exhausts (Euro4 don’t have ‘removable ‘ baffles out of the factory )
Did you fit the front baffle ? My mk 4 has a pre pipe baffle and a rear baffle. Left the pre pipe baffle out and it's noisy enough, both out and it's feckin noisy . Nice though ��maybe the Euro 4 's are quieter ?
Sorted !!
Bit of a sod to break the spot weld !!
Sounds much better
Nice , should sound fruity now , they seem to go better as well
Got the Mk 3 T-max yesterday from Peter Hammond Motorcycles in Cirencester. A proper old-school bike dealership, none of this corporate glass showroom malarkey. I have to say they were excellent people to do business with and I would highly recommend them.
Rode the 68 miles home via A419/M4/A34 then back roads through the Meon Valley to avoid the M3/M27 snarl ups. The bike was awesome, very smooth and quick enough and superb comfort. Managed some spirited riding with overtakes on the country lanes and I absolutely love this bike. She is a keeper.
