Funny! that just reminded me about a little sabotage we used to do to each other, remove spark plug cap and put a little piece of fag butt in and replace it, I watched my mate kick his bike over and bump it up and down the road for ages before he realised, it started out just taking cap off and putting it back on loosely so you sometimes it started but sometimes not and if it did when you went over bumps it would cut out, we all agreed not to do it anymore in the end as it was getting silly and the 1st thing you did if bike didn't start after 2 kicks was check your spark plug cap or any other fault for that matter, the 1st place to look was your spark plug cap, just in case 1 of your mates had taken it off, AH those were the days. In fact that reminds me of another hilarious joke. When people came round to visit me at my parents house they’d just see the scooters and knew we’d be in the garage so they just let themselves in. I’d hear a scooter coming and quickly whip of the cap to expose the HT lead. Another mate would hold this against the metal garage door and as soon as we heard some touch the handle I would kick the scooter over and send a shock to them. Ah memory lane. Jon Now that is funny, we all fell pray to the old hold the HT lead while I kick over the bike to see if there was a spark chestnut, once you fell for that you never did again. |

It certainly gives you a belt I was driving in traffic in the pissing rain on my lc2, and it started to missfire so I stupidly reached down to check my old loose fitting plug caps hadn’t came off ,like you say I won’t do that again!
Turns out it was the start of the lc2 cdi virus

Ar 50 with a 93 aultisa big bore on it went well fitted a 80 carb and head I went my biker cousins to show off and while I was inside they held the throttle open full chat with mole grips and when I bumped it it flipped and the foot peg went in my calf muscle how I laughed still have the scar they found it hilarious Lol! I had an AR50 that I fitted a Micron and one tooth bigger front sprocket. It would do 45mph on a good day. Should have got a DT50 with a big bore kit instead. Shite slow bikes were more fun in the woods! A friend had the carb nicked twice on his AR80. He was paranoid, so I hid his bike around a corner. He completely lost it! |

I don't know if this counts, but before I was 16 a few of us obtained a beat up old Casal 50 that we used as a field bike. The throttle cable had snapped so we just pulled on a shorter piece of the inner cable and rode it with one left hand and no front brake! Happy days.

I did that on a mk1 fs1e, though I did tie screw around the cable for something to grip. |
