well i crashed for the first time in a year of riding. not to major and it was with the tank anyways witch btw made it to 2732 miles as of now. i was out in the trails and i was following a freind. he desided to stop fast and when i hit the brake's the front tire slid out. scraped up the front pannel no injuries. and im now riding the elite.

because right after about 1200 miles it just gave me nothing but problems. it was an everyday project to keep it running

burnt toast to tell you the truth, i got a tank, it would never make it to my driveway, i would sell it, that is if it even made it a couple mins of rideing!

Hate to say it, buy I wish I had a tank. Beats my rat scoot SE50. Almost wiped out on that thing again on a turn in the yard. I lost count of how many times I crashed that thing.

it will still run right now if i put the tire back on it. it would go another 1000 or so miles if i wanted to deal with riding that thing so far in the 2793 miles ive riden it ive had to reajust the valve rig a bar so the rear brake will work and replace the clutch.

oh * no i dont want it. i just know in the conditoin its in no one would buy it. so if for some reson the elite ever broke again i know while im waiting for parts i could ride that thing again. and it is staying cause if there is a power outage i hook my power inverter to it and its a generater.
