It was -6 this morning and I needed to go get some prescriptions. So I said to myself “I wonder if the tomos will run in this weather?” And decided that if I starts up in 5 kicks or less I’d take it for a spin.
And on the fifth kick she fired right up. I also confirmed that it will do at least 25mph via a speedometer app on my phone. Which is wonderful news. The first time I rode it it wouldn’t get over 18-19 and I was worried the 2 speed trans wasn’t shifting.
I also have some stuff coming next week for it. New handle bar grips, and a service manual that will hopefully help me sort out the electrical problems. Once the lights are on, and it gets 40-60 degrees warmer out side, I think she’ll be good to go...
Also this thing needs a name. My Honda Aero80 was named Rose, so maybe another flower. Or go the other direction and name something obscenely manly, like Nailhead, or Richard Wang.

If I remember right, these should be good for about 35 mph, which is, you know, terrifying.
For the transmission, I’ve heard some people are able to get 1st to hang longer by putting 10W-30 in and overfilling instead of putting ATF in. Apparently it’s fine and doesn’t do any damage.

Tomos seems memorable enough as is. Vaguely soft and foreign yet mysterious and challenging to undermine as an overtly masculine statement.
