Thanks for the friendly welcome backs No two wheels right now. Just a 1993 nissan PU with 276K on it. Its not real pretty but runs like a champ. I'm starting to get the fever again. I feel a lil 150cc scoot calling me. I'm gonna try and wait until after the holidays unless the right deal comes along. Any reliable/trustworthy dropshippers still in business? Zug

We lost power for a few days and there was some flooding at work. That's not bad considering how many others in the area were affected by Sandy.

Wow! I can't believe its been over a year since I been on here. Last year wasn't one of my fave's. Sabotaged bike, stolen scoot, wrecked truck, sickness, divorce, whacked out GF. I just decided to go off grid for a while and just do the work and come home thing and get re-grounded. I hope everyone is still doing well.

Just thought I would give an update. I finally took a day off so I could go down and pic the scoot up since they are closed by time I get off work. I shoulda just went to work :/ The scoot was beat to crap. Most of the plastics are cracked, seats broken where they ripped it open to steal the tools, tail lights busted. Theres scrapes on the bottom pan and frame of concrete like curbs are made of. They musta been jumping curbs with it. It looks like they were trying to trash it on purpose. I brought it home and there it sits. I just dont have the desire to mess with it right now.

I only had liability on it so theres no insurance coverage for it being stolen or for the tools. All it covers is if the thief goes on a crash spree it covers whatever they damage. I doubt it will be recovered and if it is it will be trashed. Its been a big problem down in Philly but I didnt think they would be out this far stealing scoots.
Oh to add to the problem the tag place screwed up the vin when they did the paperwork so it wouldnt even show up in thier system. So even if they catch someone on it they probably wont arrest them or confiscate the scoot because they dont know what part of the vin # was mis entered and dont want to falsely arrest someone.
I guess I will call it a lost cause and take my lumps and move on

Yeah I called the police and did a report as soon as I realized it was stolen. It had an alarm on it but Im not sure if I had it set or not because I just put the battery in it and didnt have instructions for the alarm. It was a factory alarm and looked quite simular to the one posted in the link above.

I used to have a site bookmarked and I lost it. It was a search engine that only looked for scooters for sale on craigslist and ebay. I think it was a spinoff of search tempest which is a craigslist search engine. It wasnt real good for china scoots but it made looking for maxi scoots a lot easier. So anyone remember what the site was or have a link for it?

Once you get it sanded and cleaned put some dialectic grease on it. I leave my bikes/scoots out in the weather because I ride them all year and have every few problems because I use the grease in the switches and connectors.

Thanks for verifying the info and the links. I buy from our vendor sponsors when possible and have purchased from most of them in the past. Good parts at a good price from trusted people. Cant beat that with a stick

Lots of good info you got here and your forums looking good. I'm gonna be buying some stuff this week and I'm not having any luck finding some info I need. Its probably common knowledge stuff but I managed to forget it while I was away messin with motorsickles. 1) I definately need to replace the tire stems but cant remember for sure what size they are. Does .453 sound right? 2) The size of belt the short case has. No markings on the belt but I think its 743-20-30. Sound correct? Thanks Zug
