took my Chaly on a date, today

 

took her voting

my father in law spammed me with vote literature as i entered.

 

then took her to Master's for a big locking chain, a snag or 7, and a coke

as i was entering, 2 of the kids from the Scouts sausage sizzle asked about the bike, and i told them a little about it.

and as i was heading in, they asked if i would buy a sausage, i replied

"If you guys keep an eye on my bike, i'll buy a few"

pre ride check

 

We rode from Toowoomba, down Flagstone ck, pulled up for a quick break

Derek took the Chaly for a ride

we then went to Withcott, to fuel up, then went to Murphy'c ck pub, for a coldie.

while there, the barmaid mentioned across the rd, there was a QLD Classic Motorcycle Club meet.

so we went over

parked near some and took some pics to try and make it look like we were part of the show

999201_173932109458027_373747912_n.jpgthis thing was gorgeous..!

reved to 1,100 (eleven hundred) revs, top speed of 40

running out of light so we took off for town, via Mt Kynoch.

think we did close to 100 kms of trouble free riding.

this Chaly is perfect now..!

i cannot thank you enough, Benny

BRM motorcycle Engineering

big things coming from there

feels solid, goes well for an 88cc.

very stoked

got a call from Johnny asking if i was up for a crusie, but as i was fixing the gearbox at the time, i said sorry, can't.

but would keep him posted.

 

a couple hours later, i felt it was changing ok, so i took her around Prince Henry Drive, and it ran well, so i rang Johnny back ans said if you're up for a quick run, i would be keen(it was near 5pm by then)

one thing leads to another, and we end up at Murphy's Ck Bar, again, coldie in hand

Johnny with his original looking Chaly(has a 150 Lifan in her tho

 

looking into going a bigger engine for her.

can get a Daytona Anima 190(all bot right in) for $1300.

or just get a Lifan 125 with a type R head for $300 posted

its a cruiser, not a racer, so i am leaning towards the cheaper, lighter, smaller option

 

thoughts?
