Depending on what you are doing and the accessories and gas, your center of balance will change. Best just to put the jack under the scoot, lift a little until both wheels are off the ground an inch or so. If they come off the ground more or less at the same time, you got it right, if the front one comes up first and the back one seems to be toooo heavy to lift, let it back down and move the lift a little to the rear. The opposite is also true. You should not have a problem with exhaust etc. but best to check when you put the lift under the scoot, you'll soon be able to tell. Hockey pucks or something similar will help out if needed. I always strap it down if I'm going to remove something from the front or rear, just makes me feel safer.

Looks to me to be just a back country road and I can't see him being pulled over for anything in this country, now if he were on a super slab that would be a different story, as for the littering, yep he'd be charged. It also looks to be use of eccessive force to me, maybe he was drunk, but I would say he was just a few shy of a load.

Can't mail them to Canada, something about shipping charges and not trusting the recipient:think:
-
Yep, that's ok by me, only got room for so many scoots anyways. What are you trying? to raise the bid,,,,,,,,,,,,ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh you didn't check the calendar? ya I know I should have posted as well, my error. Now what?:buttkick:

Nice looking bumper, I hope you get for that price.
-
Probably just sitting on a lawn chair, on the back deck waiting for one to show up in the back yard, tell ya some guys got it easy.
-
Maybe faster than a 1st gen, for sometimes you can even hear them, but you're right, when in gear very seldom seen.
-
Don't know what happened, but thanks guys, you're doing a good job.

I enjoy a rumble, or occasionally a bark, but riding behind or even right in front of loud pipes? ain't gonna happen, I will ride elsewhere by myself.

I thought about starting this thread, but then thought to leave the thought lay but now that you brought the thought back up I will put in my thought on the issue. Boy, that's almost enough thought for one day already. I seen the post, posted my dislike, as well as some others who figured it needed a response. I also noticed it took our moderators some time to get to it, (I guess they all took time off simultaneously), but that made it interesting, for we got to see what would happen if our moderators did have a 'meeting' some where out of reach. We would take care of business the best we could, and I think we did very well, because that's the way we want it, and that's us.

Good thing for some, but for some others it will be all the more reason to ride faster and harder and make bigger 'accidents'. Now how much good these would be for collisions will still have to be determined, from what I can decipher this set up is designed for rider only mishaps, but wouldn't inflate in time enough, or do anything for the lower body in the case of cage interference.

Good news to hear, enjoy the time you now have and consider yourself blessed.
-
I was thinking of something smart to say, but then that would be out of character.

The trick is not to get caught. Then it's a real cop helment, not just an imitation.

All good answers so far, now let's see, how can I mix this up and get it wrong. Best off to get some latex paint, goes on easy, tools wash up good and can be used again, and if you don't like the color it's easy to repaint,or just wait till next year when you do it again and become an expert at painting garage floors.

Heck with goin' to Brad's, we could have cooked it up right here and enjoyed a real meal, course then Brad would have been sulking and we'd have to go there to make him feel better. Oh well, next time.
-
It'll be nice to be back in a good saddle.
-
Send it to congress or parliment, they want all the answers. Opps is that political?
-
If you need a hand putting it in, check out the end of your right arm.:Laugh:
-
Don and Charlie have some experince with that kind of colouring. me thinks you should ask those two on how best to get over it, but don't take their advice on preventative maintence, it don't seem they have it all together yet.
-
Here I was worried that you was unable to find the leaker thingie, and was going to suggest an alternative, thank goodness it's only your rad, that can be replaced:happy65:. I let you know if I hear of one, Bongobobny, might be helpful here.
-
Careful, now, I hear it's not always save to be riding motorcycles upside down.
-
Why not ask about 85"s, they're faster.
-
Just in case you were not informed, we do have a Mother on the site, and although his build is similar to Squidley's, Brad is rounder.

Oh man, Oh man, and it was just getting interesting, learned a lot and was ready to post again, now what am I gonna do, can't ride, can't smoke in the shop or the house. can't drink beer, can't shovel snow,,,,,,,,,I'm going to be totally bored, and all because of Squidley. NAH he got it right and is a great guy, but I bet it took him a while to post it right though, had to read and re-read and then ask Lonna to prove read it as well, Never mind, all good stuff. On the other hand, when I read the occasional thread that turns somewhat politcal, I am amazed at the good feelings going back and forth. Sure things are put strongly at times, but somehow I get the feeling that even though we may have disagreements when we post, we all respect each others' opinion and leave it at that, and that doesn't all come from the restictions of the site, but comes from the heart. Folks who want to be argumentative and disputative will mostly find that this will not likely happen here and go to do their thing elsewhere. But there are times that it's good for 'daddy' to step in as is the case with any family, so it's good to have those 'daddys' around. 'Course what's a good family without a good daddy.:thumbsup2:
