Our Whizzer NE5 "Black Knight" recently out of long term storage

Just happy to have the Whizzer out of the shed and looking somewhat decent for the first time in close to ten years. These new school Whizzers were made from about 1998 up until around 2009, this is a 2005 model. To recap, these are Flat head motors displacing about 138cc and they run on pump gas. The case holds 8oz of SAE40 oil, and this bike has a centrifugal clutch and is therefore "twist and go". This particular Whizzer cruises comfortably at 35 mph and can sprint to over 40 when called upon in stock but slightly tuned form. Presently trying on some cargo racks in preparation for my first 100 mile self supported ride attempt with this particular bike. Hope you enjoy! Whizzer start, quick pass, flat tire fail

Welcome to the forums...DAMIEN...( -.- .- .---- --- .-- .--. )

Ps...Got a kick out of the neighborhood kid in the background shouting out, "Hi Steve"...lol.

Pss...If those are the same tires and tubes from 10 years ago, it would be no wonder why you wound up with a flat.

Come back to us! I like Linux, too, and SDR radio looks really neat, I'm sure you'd agree as well!
