MOPED GP COMING AT ME HOT

I will start with an apology. I tried to craft a reader base and that requires frequent, preferably weekly new posts. I have not held up my end of the bargain. Been so busy actually doing the thing I haven’t had time to talk about me doing the thing. I still don’t, spoiler alert, but …

TESTING TOMOS RACING FLUID

Tomos Oil Feature

Some people on the Portland Puddle Cutters text group where asking if Tomos Racing Transmission Fluid (TRTF) was as great as it appeared. I didn’t know honestly. I had seen the article before but it never occured to me to try it. Right about this time I had put Royal Purple ATF into my Tomos …

TOMOS VELOCITY STACK I

First up, I love the A55 Tomos. They are great. I’ve owned a handful, I used to work on them when we sold them at a shop, and my girl currently owns one. I’ve built 3 different gila A55, piles of other kitted ones, and run 10 of thousands of miles on stock ones. Easily …
