SCOOTER DETAILS

Dominator. When we were teenagers growing up in late 70s/early 80s, Reghams local Lambretta dealer came up with these bikes and I always wanted one. When I smashed my GP up I thought nobody had GP 200. Bought in 2005 off Stu Thurston (The Emporor) who’d done a lovely paint job on it for me. Cost about £3500. Going back to my youth and the amount of time we use to spend in Reghams. Just over a year. Built by my mate Jase Potter and sprayed by Maca. Original seat, original 80s flipover back rest and Series 2 clutch lever. RT225. 58 x 110. 28mm Dellorto. BGM Clubman. Uprated standard. GP200 with 19/46 sprockets. Porting work done by Jase Potter. Dyno done by Chisel Speed. Very responsive and crisp. A bit slower with a big lad like me on! Had to put piggy on the toolbox as I’ve always been known as that since I started rallying. 70mph top, and 60mph cruising. The brilliant Maca at DTC. Tracking down old photos of Dominators as there weren’t many done. Nothing I would of done differently; it’s all gone fairly smoothly. Jase Potter for all the mechanics and research he’s done. Maca for the brilliant paintwork. Dan Guest for his help with the research and finally my fiancée Vicky for putting up with me while we’ve been doing it.
