Whoa! I've been jacked!

:b2t:

I found my tire irons finally. I'd stuck them in an old metal tray where I keep odds and ends i don't use often, and naturally that is the last place I thought to look. :crazy: I got the tire off, after breaking he rust-sealed bead, and cleaned up the rim. Is it ...

Hey Ken before you ride that bike,make sure you up jet the carb.since you drilled out the exhaust,the engine is going to need more gas.If not its going to run lean and you will seize the engine.If planing on using the stock airbox,punch out the tab that covers up one of the holes on the inlet of ...

You wanted to know what your getting yourself into. Scooters are like cocaine they keep you wanting more.

The rubber gasket around the kicker is some what optional in my book. Also nothing a little carb cleaner wouldn't clean up on the inside of the case. Also do you know if the Varaitor has a ...

Well, I finally got my parts in from Service Honda:

Oh, SHINY !! Among other things, I got an extra key blank, which I took up and had ground this afternoon. I now have 2 spare keys: two genuine Honda keys and ...

I have 3 right now, plus my wifes's. My Shoei RF800 is 'retired' but I cannot make myself toss it. My RF1000 is my trip helmet, and has a J&M headset in it, that I usually have the mic out off unless my wife is on the bike with me. I also have a HJC 'commuter' that doesn't fit very well; I think I'm ...

I live in a helmet-law state, so I really don't have a choice, however even when in non-helmet law states, I always wear a helmet. I had a friend killed in an otherwise walk-away accident this year because his helmet was strapped to his back seat, and I had another friend spend 3 days in ICU after ...

Forget the yak, Nice car :)

Thanks. '73 Dodge Dart "Swinger!", 318 V-8 AT. Gone as of 2 weeks ago, and the red bike ('03 Aprilia Tuono) is gone as well. :cry: Had to down-size the toy box a bit after being unemployed for so long (since Jan 15th). Not whining though, I still have my '08 V-Strom ...

You inadvertently scored a much-prized Final (US) edition of Honda's 2-stroke learning curve. Look at that tranny cover and marvel at the inscription: AF16 E. Yes, that's the engine commonly called the SA50 or Dio here. The reason for its popularity is the relative abundance of go-slightly-faster ...

Always looking for input. I do plan on cleaning the carb, I actually ordered some extra jets today as well just because, like I was there. :roll: 78, 80 & an 82. I'm not sure what's in it, because I did not want to get into the carb today.

I agree on the Simple Green, and that's what I used on the ...

Last Sunday I swapped my Kayak for a '94 Elite 50P Scooter. I was also moving my mother-in-law and hosting my sister-in-law and her family, so maybe I didn't look at this thing close enough. It started right up, and I had a trailer load of MIL stuff to unload, so I did the deal. :nerd:

I did the same yesterday, except in Washington. Here, we "get" to pay sales tax on used vehicles (don't get me started!). I swapped my Kayak for my Elite 50S, so no actual money changed hands. However the PO had just got the bike - in trade for some handyman work - and the PO's PO wrote in $200 as ...
