It was Miles' CBT test today......... and his SymJet scooter was still in pieces!
Droppped him off this morning at 8.00 for his training, and then into the garage to get it finished!
Rear brake lever was broken and Mr Sym has not despatched the new one yet! So....... what to do...... an hour's messing around with metal and a bracket was fabricated as a (very much ) temporary measure.
All the plastic fantastic body work is a bit battered....... previous owner seemed to have bounced every panel off the road at some point! So....... trusty cable ties here and there and its all back on again...... reasonably solid as well!
A new set of bulbs, and we're about there! Oops!!!!!!!!!!!!! well............ except for L plates for the boy wonder! A trip to Halfords and we're all sorted
So...... except for a few odd bits and bobs - its safe and sound for the road.......... needs some prettying up here and there but I doubt it will be standing still for long if Miles has his way!
Anyways... picked him up at 5.30, with a huge smile on his face and a CBT certificate in his hand!
6.30pm and I'm on my GP225 proudly following my son down the road on his very own scooter!
Happy Days.........
