After M.A.D run I thought id assess the damage the Tomos. First off the rear sprocket is bent so that need replacing along with the mounting bolts. The mounting holes for the sprocket on the rear wheel are deformed and beyond repair so I will need a new wheel. The flywheel and front sprocket cover took most of the force when the chain broke but I have a spare cover so not too much of a problem. Hopefully wont take me to long to get it up and running again.

M.A.D. run 3
Its been quite a while since the last M.A.D run but at last both Sinclairio and i have running, and road legal mopeds! We decided to go bigger than the last time so the aim was to ride to Lands End and back in a big loop via the coast road.
This is our anti clockwise route. The following are shots taken on the way
So we made it to Lands End with no breakdowns or problems apart from Sinclairios numberplate almost fell off.
Mousehole harbour
We made it to Newlyn but this is when i had my first problem. The bolts holding on my rear sprocket had worked their way loose which caught on the swing arm and locked the back wheel. I had to make a road side repair and one of the nuts was completely bent. I manged to get it back together with just three bolts and we made our way to Marazion.
We stopped overlooking St Michaels Mount for an Ice cream. My rear sprocket seemed to be ok and the three remaining bolts looked tight.
On our final leg of the journey my rear sprocket finally broke loose locking the back wheel and breaking the chain.
I used Sinclairios bike to ride the last mile to pick up my truck so we could load both bike to get us home. All in all an amazing ride and im looking forward to another one once i get my Tomos fixed or i may even use the Peugeot.

Bing jetting.
Just a quick note, was up and running on my highest jet a 94, then did a short 20 mile test trip with cookson two nights ago, which I had down jetted to my next biggest a 88. Bigger jump than I'd of liked. Still really boggy top end, so have just gone out around the block with a 86 installed. So much smoother all the way through the power. Still ever so slightly backing off so will stick with it tomorrow and see. Probably take my jets with me. Fingers crossed for nice weather.

Evening ride
Last night Sinclairio and I got out on the bikes for a little ride up the coast road. We did about five miles and neither bike had any problems. We have a longer ride planned for Sunday :-)
