What a weekend.......nothing has gone right at all
1. Went to take GTS out for a spin after months of hybernation.....dead as a dodo........had to charge battery up
2. Scoot back up and running....pissing it down outside....can't find me waterproofs anywhere......Mrs says she might have thrown em out
3. Went in the car to get money changed at post office " sorry luv we are all out of Euros" got to order them in for next week now.
4. New number plate arrived for GTS.......looks like a load of crap and dont fit
5. Went to pitch cheap n cheerful tent up in garden to see if it's waterproof told by her indoors to not ruin the lawn......guess I'll find out in france if it works or not !
6. Icing on the cake .......dug out my new airbed I'd used once last year tried pumping it up dunno why just thought I should try it ......got a feckin puncture glad I tried it out over here instead of finding out in france it don't work
Sat down this afternoon and had my first pint in 6 mths ......boy did it taste good
Big Ian
Just sat down to print a load of info off for the trip and my blinking printers has gone up it .........I give up |

ive got a pic on my phone but for some reason the memory card wont fit
so unless i could send it to someone i cant show anyone
anyway i rang up scorpion, the guy said ive never heard of that blah blah send it back
i explained that i was going to france next week and at 6 months old the pipe shouldnt have broke
my local garage asked me to ask the guy. if he welded the flange back on would it invalidate the guarentee
the scorpion guy said he doesnt have a problem with it,
so the pipes been welded and its all back on , just the coolant pipe to do and im ready to go _________________

as i've said before, everyone on here who is having probs with their scorpion pipe is due to it being the old single strap version which is flawed, as is the gasket.
as i have the new gasketless 2 strap redesigned pipe, i have had no problems whatsoever and look forward to the future of my GTS with confidence
having just read the above, i ought to be a Scorpion salesman |
