so, and here is the outcome of that powder coating action with Novatec and Herr Flick

That is how it looked before coating=)

Then after the great support from Herr Flick :bier

cu,Ralf

wow, you made it (y) great

Have you already made some driving test ?:pimp

cu,Ralf

if it is compressed completely it has 170 mm from middle lower fixing hole to middle upper fixing hole. If the damper is streched to mximum there are 270 mm from middle lower fixing hole to middle upper fixing hole.

cu,Ralf

yes looks like Germans are always bue:D

cu,Ralf

Speedy, was that a retirement party? So many Vespa Opas :haha

cu,Ralf

Hello Herr Flick, I have separated most of my Ciao, only some minor things to do.
That means that I will be ready for coating from 3.4.08.

When do you have time to join me on the visit to Novatec?

Do I need to do special cleanings of the parts before coating? Can they also coat my spoke wheels?
Do I need to separat my number plate with…[Lees meer]

That sounds very good. I can pick you up, no problem;)

So I let you know when I will be ready to come

Thanks,Ralf

Herr Flick, that’s great.=)

I will disassemble my Ciao beginning of April and plan now to drive to Novatec about middle of April. Would you be available at that time to support me a little bit with Dutch translations over there?;)

I also like to powder my spoke wheels. Is that also possible and included in the price of 140-150 EURO ?

I’m…[Lees meer]

mh, that’s pretty uncool. Where should I take a dutchman from?

is their work after two weeks good quality or do they need to be kicked?:D

How do they make an offer, should I send pics or do I need to drive to them with everything in my trunk?
Or is it everytime the same price (also for a stupid German like me)?:relax

cu,Ralf

wow, cool helmets(y)

cu,Ralf

do they have a web side?
Can they speak english?
For about 280,-Euro price difference I don’t care how far away Leek is.=)

cu,Ralf

So, i have just measured the diameter in the crankcase (inlet side half case). About the first half of the case already has a diameter of 74 mm. Then from inlet window to the bottom the diameter is smaller.
Do you mean that the diameter from inlet window to bottom also need to have the 74 mm?

Thanks,
Ralf

Hey,

that looks promising.:thumb

Performance wise, where would you see that system together with a 46 mm Pinasco cyl.kit? Compared to a Simonini side inlet carter with the same cylinder or compared to a Polini Evo engine or Malossi engine.

Do I need to enlarge the frame for the side inlet or does it fit into the frame like it is? Any…[Lees meer]

Hi Mike,
at the moment I’m in China and the PM function on my computer does not work.
So I do it first on that way and write you an PM on the 27th Jan. when I will be back at home.

As it looks today I will attend the tour. Also there is another guy from the Nordic Vespa Power Forum who like to come with me on that tour.
So from my side…[Lees meer]

Hey,I need to come back to the topic.;)
Can I ask, when is the latest timing for me to say: Yes, I will drive that tour? And to whom should I announce that?
What is the meeting point for start of the tour? (Adress)
Do I need to pay in advance in a budget pool or do I keep the 125 Euro with me?

About age again. Up from what age is it allowed…[Lees meer]

Hey Crullie, don’t worry, nothing is lost.;)
The youngster Hansieb called me a Vespa Opa :relax

cu,Ralf

he,he, I’m also 47 years old and still like to drive my Ciao.:D

Äh, what bed? Will we sleep in bed?:) Not bad for the older guys, it’s more comfortable:thumb

cu,Ralf

ok, I will drill a small hole.
Thanks for the fast clarification.

cu,Ralf

🙂 Ihr seit ja echt cool drauf.

Bis wann kann man sich anmelden?

cu,Ralf

Wow, jetzt muß ich doch noch holländisch lernen. Wußte gar nicht, daß Ihr so einen großen See habt.:D

Zitat: Brommer die het goed doet en zo rond de 60 Km/h rijd

Heißt das, daß man min. 60Km/h schnell fahren muß oder wird auch langsamer gefahren? 400 Km ist sehr lang und anstrengend.
Wie sieht das aus mit Polizeikontrollen? Wurde schon e…[Lees meer]
