SCOOTER SPEC

Name of scooter & reason: Pure Acid. To go the whole hog. Scooter model: GP200.

Date purchased & cost: Bought in 2014 as the frame and bodypanels from Richard Coveney. There was no engine in the scooter, but the purchase included a full spray job from Richard.

Inspiration for project: I wanted it to be busy and loud. I let Richard flow with the subject and he did. I got more than I thought I would get!!!

Time to build & by who: I started to discuss the idea with Richard in the summer of 2018. Richard started the paint in June 2019 and it went to Paul at Oiltek in November. It was completed early in 2020.

Frame welded and strengthened to support the Casa SST 265 engine and power, ceramic coated expansion pipe, K2 Customs one-off items, custom seat by Corky.

Paintwork by: Richard and Janine at Riding Dirty Customs. Overall cost of work and components: I wouldn’t dare add it up. But like we tell our wives and girlfriends; “It’s £1 for each part!” Tech tip or advice for anyone

starting a project: Make sure you complete a comprehensive dry build first! There’s always little discrepancies. This bike was developed from and existing bike but even so a lot of the bits were slightly different.

Thanks to: Richard and Janine from Riding Dirty Customs for the paint, Paul at Oiltek for the build, tank and engineering, Keith Newman at K2 Customs for the custom one-off themed parts and Corky for the custom themed seat.
