Sounded lovely up until that ! Lovely bike Pam

[@MichaelSmith-mc8bd]

The joys of a 2 stroke! . Always riding with one hand on the clutch 😮

[@garymcleod2674]

🤣🙈🙈🙈

[@TwistedTrenti]

Holed the piston about £140 for a wossner one, much better piston. Then do a thorough leak down test, because you have an air leak to cause the holes piston.

[@gerardgerard5681]

Thank God you got off safely.

[@garymcleod2674]

Thank you 👍

[@Lambrettist]

Gutted for ya. Same thing happened to me in the desert, ran the tank dry and holed the piston. I’ve just got mine back together, doing a more careful running in, too.

[@garymcleod2674]

Thanks mate 👍

[@whitetribe6424]

Real sad, was running lovely 😢

Hairdryers were never very reliable. Push them hard and they are going to break.. Never mind , its all repairable.

[@garymcleod2674]

🤣🤣🤣

[@martinatkinson7893]

Feel your pain mate. Locked my RT195 up solid, on the A64, last year! Not good on any road, but on a busy major road, pretty hair raising!

[@garymcleod2674]

I just managed to get to the slip road 🙈🤣

[@johnthorp3649]

Best thing I've had done to mine (RT195) was to get a TV rodded 60mm crank fitted with a Suzuki piston.

[@Yournan420]

me and mate of mine took the a64 to whitby back in march for the national rally, looked like a scooter graveyard every mile or so there was someone broken down especially leading up to pickering

[@mauricerevelle8451]

Oh shite…Yep, yep, yep…Hope the piston rings ain’t gone on a sight seeing tour of the engine.. When it cut out it bought back a couple of memories. You handled it well though. Could of been a lot worse..I blame Neil Diamond !. She’ll be alright.. All the best from North London

[@garymcleod2674]

🤣 cheers mate👍

[@HollaenderDK]

Replayed that last part around 5 times to try to learn the sound, and hopefully avoid the same situation 🙂 Hope you get it running again...

[@garymcleod2674]

All sorted mate👍

[@CodgerBiker]

Know those roads. Hope you fix it. Got to keep a few 2-strokes on the road. Lucky with that junction 👍👍

[@garymcleod2674]

Cheers mate👍

[@briggaskin]

Weve all been there. That heartwrenching pull of the clutch when you feel it run too sweet,too smooth, too lean and the engine note whine. Did i catch it in time? Has it just pinched up? Will it start after it cools a bit? Then you got that phone call to make where you have to sound like its an everyday occourance and water off a ducks back, but inside you are hollow

[@garymcleod2674]

Too true mate😥

[@zenzen9131]

The irony of the engine blowing to the tune of "beautiful noise"

[@garymcleod2674]

My sense of humour.... got to laugh or I'd cry 🙈🤣

[@2tone209]

I DONT KNOW IF ITS JUST ME BUT IT SOUNDED RATHER RATTLEY FROM THE OFF HOPE YOU GET IT SORTED MATE

[@garymcleod2674]

I could hear the rattle on the video afterwards.... but there was a fair bit of wind noise on the day and I didn't notice 🙈😥

[@maskedavenger2578]

Back around 1970 a lot of my mates had Lambrettas they looked like Xmas trees overloaded with a multitude of mirrors & stolen spot lights clip on car headrests & loads of other ironmongery . Then they wondered why their paraffin pisser’s were struggling to hit a genuine 50 to 60 mph ,handled like pigs on roller skates & were always conking out or seizing up .. Seeing this I decided to use my head & buy a Honda motorcycle never had one break down on me yet in over 50 years . My brother also a biker has lost the plot in the last 10 years & has owed a Indian LML cloned Vespa & now a Classic 200cc proper genuine old school Vespa . Hope the damage isn’t too bad & you get her spannered & back on the road soon . 👍

[@garymcleod2674]

🤣🤣🤣cheers mate👍

[@trevorroberts73]

Two up. Coming bk from a run in the 80s on my gp200 rs stage 6 blew the big ends on m6

[@adamweston4152]

Heat seizure, used to happen regularly to my fs1e.

[@garymcleod2674]

[@exsoulagent]

Been there & got the T-shirt 😊

[@iggyzorro2406]

yes, I could read the rear lights flashing Morse code: Get a Vespa! lol. joking aside - that's a neat looking bike. sorry you had troubles. hope you can fix it.

Ragged the ole girl a little too hard, Now put a RB225 kit on her 🙏

[@lucab1733]

Did this happen because the fuel run out that had the oil?

[@Steve-z9n1g]

Hope you sorted the squeaky shoe out Gary?????

[@garymcleod2674]

🤣🤣🤣

[@leicmick]

ooooops

[@garymcleod2674]

🙈

[@gareth8346]

That's why you shouldn't keep the throttle pinned open on a 2 stroke for to long. Gutted for ya.😢

[@guccilover2632]

ya crank snapped in half i think gary

[@garymcleod2674]

It's got a hand built AF RAYSPEED crank in it..... so I hope not 🙈 I did get the clutch in before it fully locked the back wheel up.... but not quick enough

[@garymcleod2674]

Regardless of what we find tomorrow regarding piston / rings / barrel... the cranks coming out to check even if nothing obvious showing with it 👍

[@guccilover2632]

@@garymcleod2674 could be bearing or ya could get lucky rip the engine out and get it on the workbench keep us updated gary

[@garymcleod2674]

@@guccilover2632 will do mate👍

[@garymcleod2674]

@guccilover2632 hi mate, one of the studs holding the barrel on had let go... causing an air leak..... another Ts1 kit fitted today, and changed the gearing to give her a faster top end.... theoretically 85mph +..... so will stop me thrashing her 🙈

[@TheCheekyBoys-tb8sm]

Not the best of days mate 😢

[@garymcleod2674]

I've had better 🙈 On the up side.... I wonder how much bigger than a 225 could it be bored out to? 🤔🤣🤣🤣

[@maninst7145]

Somthing def on top of rev range. Hope you get it sorted and not too many probs✊🏻🛵

[@trotterdog1]

Oh bugger! Hole in the piston = hole in the wallet!! Hope you get it sorted ok🥲
