The Honda Wave 125 rear shock absorber always rated as soft by most of the user. Actually it is design for comfort but some how Malaysia road is so bumpy and result the absorber worn out quicker. I have seen most of the user has change to aftermarket absorber for better

performance. My absorber set was just passed 100,000km. I always have a pillion on board and recently I just feel like riding horse on a bumpy road. When exiting corner the bike will swing to the opposite direction. Due to safety reason it should be replace.

I did some online research and survey at spare parts shop. Most user recommend brand Gazi, Showa and YSS. The former two are not easily to find and many imitations in market. Other unnamed brand is range from RM70 to RM100. Some even come with gas canister which look kind high tech but the dealer told me it is more for cosmetic rather than performance. The best option left is YSS which has wide range of models and inexpensive. I google and found JuniorZ is carrying YSS dealership in Malaysia. I make a trip to his store at Batu Caves.

The YSS absorber is made in Thailand and exported to many countries include Japan, Europe, Australia and America. I believe it has OEM quality in this industry. The model for my bike has few colour variants; gold/black spring, gold/red spring, blue/white spring and full chrome. The gold and red spring suit my bike most.

First impression of YSS absorber is – HEAVY. It is about 4kg compare with my existing 3kg each. It doesn’t feel cheap quality and the soldering is very well and neat. The spring is very high quality too with hard plastic cover. The best thing of this absorber is adjustable for different weight load. It has 3 levels setup from 60-160kg, 160-220kg and 220kg up. But you need some force to adjust it since it is very tight. The absorber design is up-side-down type which gives your bike more racing look.

After mounted with YSS rear absorber immediate I feel my bike has gain weight. I need to adapt the new weight to put on double-stand. The bike acceleration is a little affected because of the weight but it is OK since my bike got good torque. The riding is smooth and comfort, even with pillion at back. I still maintain the 60-160kg setup since both person weight is in that range. When doing cornering alone, it is tight and hard. I can make a 80km/h curve confidently. Overall I am very satisfied with the ‘upgrade’ and it only cost me RM120.

Fahrschule 80803 München-Schwabing, 81675 München-Haidhausen: Kostenloser und unverbindlicher Schnupperkurs vor der Führerschein-Ausbildung

Künftige Autofahrer brauchen bei der Auswahl ihrer Fahrschule nicht die Katze im Sack zu kaufen.

Es ist ganz einfach: Man probiert die Fahrschulen aus, bevor man sich bei einer verbindlich für die Führerschein-Ausbildung anmeldet. Die Münchner Fahrschule Theorie + Praxis zum Beispiel bietet kostenlose und unverbindliche Schnupperkurse zum gegenseitigen Kennenlernen an.

Eine gute Fahrausbildung ist Vertrauenssache und abhängig von der stimmigen Chemie zwischen Fahrlehrer und Fahrschüler. Deswegen laufen die Schnupperkurse bei Theorie + Praxis so ab: Als erstes nimmt der potenzielle Fahrschüler an mehreren Theoriestunden in der Zentrale an der Münchner Freiheit (80803 München-Schwabing) oder in der Filiale im Stahlgrubercenter (81675 München-Haidhausen) teil. Dabei kann der Interessent die Fahrlehrer der Fahrschule kennenlernen und sich einen aussuchen, mit dem er eine kostenlose Fahrstunde zur Probe machen möchte.

Erst wenn der Fahrschüler dann wirklich überzeugt ist, bei einem Fahrlehrer gelandet zu sein, mit dem er gut auskommen kann, meldet er sich verbindlich zur Führerschein-Ausbildung an. Der Fahrschüler trägt keinerlei Kosten und keinerlei Risiko. Beides übernimmt komplett die Fahrschule Theorie + Praxis.

Man kann also zunächst alles in Ruhe ausprobieren – ohne einen Cent zu zahlen und ohne sich festzulegen. Dann erst entscheidet man sich ohne Zeitdruck, ob man den Führerschein tatsächlich bei Theorie + Praxis machen möchte. Man kann sich jederzeit für den Führerschein anmelden und sofort mit der Ausbildung beginnen.

Theorie + Praxis ist eine der wenigen “kompletten” Fahrschulen in München. Hier wird für den Mopedführerschein, Motorradführerschein, Autofürerschein, Lastwagenführerschein und den Busführerschein ausgebildet. Dazu kommen Seminare, Berufskraftfahrer-Qualifikation und sogar Schulungsfahrzeug-Verleih.

And here’s Free Darko’s Bethlehem Shoals’ take on it.

And so it ends…

Weird to think the Warriors, whose GM is an indoctrinated Nelson crony, will now be building around Steph Curry, Biedrins and Randolph, who is so far in Nellie’s doghouse that Cheryl Miller talks about it in her pre-second quarter commentary in NBA2k10, which, as we all know, is a frigging video game.

Today we are looking at the Coocase basic scooter top box, this is a new product for Partsforscooters.com and we are excited to be featuring it in our product line.

I’ll be honest, when I first heard the name Coocase, I was more than a bit skeptical.  Coming from a motorcycle background I am more than a little familiar with hard luggage companies like Givi, which have a well deserved reputation for quality.  As soon as I opened up the box, I could see that my initial fears were unfounded.  The quality of the Coocase is on par with the Givi cases I’ve had, if not even better.  

The Coocase comes with all of the parts needed to mount it to almost any scooter luggage rack, and also the prerequisite keys so that it can be locked to protect all of your valuables, or at least the box of Twinkies that you forgot that you purchased the night before.  The locking mechanism does protrude a bit into the stowage area of the case, but I am happy to report that it fits my full face helmet with a little room to spare.

For me though, the neatest feature of this case is the straps that keep the case from flopping open have small detents that will actually hold the case open while being loaded.  Try this same feat with a Givi or other brand and you will be sorely disappointed.  I actually can’t stress how nice a touch this is, and really must be experienced to be believed.

Our customers have thus far been very pleased with the overall quality of this case, the ease of use, and functionality.  The single pushbutton release from the bottom plate that mounts to your scoot has received high marks of approval and has worked flawless for me too.  Another thoughtful feature is that each case ships with a storage bag for your Coocase.

My verdict: Despite the funny name that doesn’t have the brand cachet of some of the better known companies like Givi or Shad, what we have here is an extremely well built and thoughtful piece of hard luggage that I think that any scooterist would be proud to have on their ride.

Wheels and three bags of odds and ends are back from powdercoating.

I am going to tell you a secret word. Once I tell you, continue to read the blog and every time you read it I want you to scream. I don’t care if you are around people or in the library. When you hear it scream!

The secret word is…Moped.

Now onto the blog.

Apparently if you attend any home basketball games or wrestling matches, then you have a change to win an orange MOPED! AHHHHHHH! If you didn’t scream then I will say this..LAME.

I don’t know about you but I have always wanted one of these bad boys. Just imagine being about to cruise around the streets in a…..moped. Ahhhh. (Don’t be lame) Anyway, this is a great incentive to go cheer on your Cowboys and Cowgirls. You shouldn’t need any incentive to go cheer them on, but I am not here to judge. Go win a…MOPED!!!!! AHHHHHH!

Got these back from Melvin in the perfect sesame color. We did not powdercoat these parts because half are plastic. “Come on Dee” Kinsler calls this color “Caucasian”

Magnum Tank etc.

After leaving San Diego we drove up the coast for the day, stopping at Laguna Beach for some more seaside practice. Having topped up our sunburn a little we ventured into Los Angeles, without a map just to make it more exciting. This was surprisingly successful and we found LAX with an hour to spare so we backed out to Inglewood to spent our last dollars on Double Doubles at In ‘N’ Out burger.

We could no longer avoid the inevitable and went to spend the evening at LAX, surely one of the dullest airports on earth. We considered livening things up by reporting Russel Brand, who had been ushered to the front of our security queue, for looking suspicious, just to see if he’d get pinned to the ground and examined but he and his entourage were whisked through the scanners and had vanished in seconds.

We had a good flight to Rarotonga, arriving early into the 1 room airport at 5:45am. Waiting for our bags we listened to the obligatory ‘old man playing the ukulele’ that you get at all pacific airports and were then taken down to our hostel at Muri Beach. Our room wasn’t ready yet so we had to postpone catching up on sleep until the afternoon, spending the morning sampling the local doughnuts (like normal jam doughnuts except they have no sugar on top and no jam inside) and exploring the small town.

On our second day we went over to the North end of the Island to do the cross-island hike, starting off in nice back country little villages, small houses on big grassy plots surrounded by Frangipani trees and goats. Entering the jungle it soon became a lot more challenging, firstly just because it was heavily overgrown and shortly after a near vertical climb up a narrow ridge for 45 minutes which made the Grouse Grind look like a stroll in the park! We soon reached the Needle summit for a rest, some lunch and a go on the frozen vegetables we were carrying to cool down. As usual going down the equally steep south side was even harder followed by several stream crossings but we soon emerged on the South rim of the Island. This is where we came across the abandoned remains of the Hilton resort – a government backed venture that went pear shaped, leaving them $100 million in debt and now remains a massive ghost hotel, never finished and just left to rot for the last 15 years. Seems such a waste, why they don’t sell it on we don’t know. We’d turn half of it into accommodation then build a Cross-country moped race circuit around the grounds that weaved in and out of the rest of the abandoned buildings while also using these as a paintball arena – Anyone out there want to invest in / stump up all the cash for our new business??

Midweek we flew over to Aitutaki for a few days, one of the worlds most beautiful lagoons a couple of hundred km from Rarotonga. The view from the air is unbelievable – the most vivid turquoise lagoon dotted with coral outcrops and island Motu’s. Our photo’s don’t do the place justice so you’ll have to Google Earth it for a view!

However, our accommodation was much less spectacular, probably the most basic we’ve encountered on all of our travels but we soon got used to it and by the end of the week the leaking roof, Mr. kitchen rat and numerous cockroaches were all taken in our stride!

There were some significantly more upmarket places on the island running at hundreds or thousands of dollars per night but I’m sure we enjoyed ourselves just as much as their guests, lazing on the same beaches and snorkeling in the lagoon, with coconut bowling and bonfires in the evening!

Everyone in Rarotonga gets about by moped so here on Aitutaki we thought we’d have a go. The rental place over the road only had motorbikes though but we enquired anyway.

“Have you ridden one of these before?” asked the big boss man. “Yes, back on Rarotonga” I lied. I’m not sure he believed me from the outset when I had to have every lever and foot pedal explained to me twice. The nearest I’ve ever been to riding any kind of moped or motorbike is a sit-on lawnmower which was probably quite obvious when I followed big boss man’s encouragement to take it for a spin down the road. “So this one’s the throttle then..?” as I gave it a quick twist, lurching forward into the path of an oncoming mini-van. I could see the look of concern on his face as I scooted around to have another go facing the right direction. Off I went though, successfully making it into 2^nd gear 50m down the road so decided to turn around and go back. Here I performed a classic piece of slapstick motor-biking, once again tweaking the throttle far too hard the bike shot straight over the road and into some local’s front garden, with me barely holding on I finally remembered to brake with my foot a couple of metres from the sea! Luckily Zoë had distracted Big boss man and he hadn’t seen me do this so when I sheepishly returned his bike he still seemed half-keen to rent it to us! Even my low level of common sense prevailed and we decided not to, there’s nothing like a nice walk in the searing heat anyway.

We did get some biking in the next day however, only because we’d spotted a fully automatic moped for hire. This was much more our scene so we snapped it up, about £10 for the day plus another £1 for a Cook islands driving licence from the Cop Shop. There was no test involved which was lucky as at the time I couldn’t even work the kickstand properly. We soon got the hang of it, taking it in turns to rag it around the island dirt roads weaving past goats and hundreds of massive crabs. A huge storm hit in the afternoon which made moped-ing quite a lot less fun so we went back to base, Zoë reaching around from the back seat to cover my eyes from the stinging rain with her hands while I squinted through her fingers – we got a few funny looks from the locals!

The rains passed by the morning which was good as we had booked a lagoon cruise with the other folks in our hostel. We did some snorkeling in the crystal clear lagoon, Giant Clams, blue starfish and plenty of other tropical fish were all spotted. I once again got hand cramp from pinching my nose shut so reverted to regular swimming before landing on a few of the islands to explore – Honeymoon Island, ‘Tiger Island’ off of Shipwrecked and One Foot Island for lunch. A good day out but paid the price with some pretty nasty sunburn after being in and out of the water all day!

The next few days were a bit miserable weather-wise, so we just pottered about coconut bowling / trying to take out the cockerels that woke us at 4am every morning, playing cards with our hostel chums, reading on the beach or paddling in the lagoon, although once we’d seen two sea-snakes 5ft from the shore we were more reluctant to wade in!

Back on Rarotonga it’s been more of the same, a bit of kayaking, beaching, getting sunburnt, getting bitten by mosquito’s etc… so we’ve actually decided to chop our 2 weeks in Fiji which would have been more of the above and fast forward to New Zealand!

Bus-Führerschein und Berufskraftfahrer-Qualifikation in 80803 München Schwabing und 81675 München Haidhausen bei der Fahrschule Theorie + Praxis

While passing by the New York Law School today I noticed this very cool retro machine. I snapped a couple of pictures and then had to do a little research to determine exactly what it was.

The contraption in question was a VeloSoleX, which is a motorized bicycle from France. It has a 49cc engine with friction drive above the front wheel, and the rider can also pedal it like a normal bike. Top speed is governed at 20 mph, which is a little on the slow side. But I think it looks pretty neat, and in a city with a Vespa on every corner – this beauty would definitely stand out.

AMONG THE THINGS I FOUND HERE when I bought this Long Island cottage last May was an adorable little red moped in the backyard. It’s a Honda Spree, manufactured for three years in the mid-1980s.

The odometer says 3895 and it seems to have all its parts. Whether it runs I have no idea, but I’m sure someone handy in these matters can get it to run.

I’d like to get it out of the backyard before it snows. I’m asking $250. If interested, email caramia447@gmail.com.
