Pit stop complete after ride up from Plymouth and a cuppa got going on tyre change .Lyn had given me a part worn tyre off his majesty as he didn't like make same size as vespa gt .In fact was same make as well.The rear wheel had been tubed but I knackered that getting tyre off as I cut them saves struggling with levers.Anyway reason for tubing was corrosion and paint flaking on the bead.So cleaned all that up as best I could got new tyre on took ages to get it to pop back on bead as only have 12v pump.I checked it for rim leak one tiny bubble which is control able just check pressure every day.I was knackered by then as not a fit bloke .This morning really feeling it but been out done an oil change cold and no filter but best I can do and better than nothing.I had to get drain plug out with impact wrench partly its in an awkward place on leader engine plus was tight plus I'm knackered .I'd say 85% is fresh oil I'll do proper one when get back with filter.Scooter is packed got rid of some dirty washing added some tools and spare belt .Hoping to get off by 10am catch them up enroute .
