Terrilee, you are a tough lady!!! Just one comment: If you pushed it up hill why didn't you ride(coasting) down hill?
And congrats on solving the problem. I would still be trying to figure it out!!!

I have owned 2 Tanks along the way, traded the 250 for a TGB Delivery 150, now have 8000 miles on it, and gave
my Tank 150 to my stepson when he moved to TX. So far as I know it is still running.
Tanks were a well built scooter, had very little trouble with mine. The companyu that imported the scoots under the Tank
name is no longer in business. The Roketa was made by the same Chinese company that made Tank.

Mountain Moped has a HF tire mounter along with their
exellent hydrolic lift. The problem with mounting the
scooter tires, if you have one, is that the side walls on some
are very difficult to stretch even with the machine. It took
us quite a while to mount the R9 rear tire. Bryan says that
some will slip right on while others will give you a fit.
My TGB DEl 150 is about ready for a rear tire so I bought
two. We will see how it goes.
HF is a treasure trove!!!

I just checked my remaining Bradford Pear in the dog run, left for shade. it has little hard berrys that our
squirrels will eat but no thorns so I guess that Terry is right. Also, JR, they do bloom very early, way ahead of our dogwoods.

OK, Farmer Brown!!! You do know your stuff and the results of your gardening are beautiful.
Unfortunately I have a black thumb. I touch plants and they die.
The tree in question looks like a Bradford Pear. Beautiful when they bloom and they grow to a large
size but are fragile. A strong wind will split them. We had 8 of them and ended up taking them all
down.

Put the 'rock hard' Chinese tire on the back as it will last longer. The softer performance tires are great
if you are 2 wheeling it but on a sidecar rig you put a different wear on the tread. Slippage on wet roads
is not as much a factor when driving a tug and hack. And rear tire wear is a bit tougher so ther harder
rubber holds up longer.
JCT842 is right about slippage on a 2 wheeler however.

Just replaced the rear tire on my TGB R9i tug at 2300 miles. The original tires have a soft
surface and the hack helped them on their way. Knew at the time we added the hack that
the rear tire was pretty worn. Got a very good price and bought two tires with a harder
surface. Bought them locally.
Now for the bad part, took 3.5 hours to get the tire seated on the rim using a tire machine.
My pal at Mtn Moped did the actual work and I assisted. Seems sometimes they will seat
easily and then you hit one like mine that doesnt. Like you JR, I caught mine with the threads
showing in 4 different spots. The rig handles now far better than it did before.
The moral of this is; check your ride before you ride----every time!!!

Travler, you are a good man!! I have a red tail hawk that stays on the property every year, foxes in
my meadow as well as deer, all are safe with us. I agree with BobF, keep some of your guns just in
case. Kinda hard to carry a bow in public!! Effective tho. There is an old Indian saying when something
magical has happened between a man and an animal: "We have walked together in the shadow of a rainbow"

Has any one ever known scooter gas guages or speedometers to work correctly?
So far none in my stable ever have. I keep 10 gallons of gas at home and fill my
scoots up every 2 or 3 days. And I automatically figure the speedometer is off
by 5 miles. Many GPS readings have shown mine to be on the slow side.
Minor problems considering the many good things scoots offer

Jim, I was one who grew up during that time. I can remember being put on a train in Asheville, NC
and traveling to Hobe Sound, FL by my self to visit family. I was 12. We learned to accept dissapointment and sucess and to go on. At 76 I realize that this may have been the best time in this country to grow up
in.
And there will never be a good time to take God out of the Pledge or our lives. If that offends antyone,
well, just deal with it!!

Hi, Mcalli. Wolfhound here. That is about what they charge for labor down here. Fortunately my scoot
mechanic and I have a deal---I take care of his 2 dogs and 1 cat when he travels and we trade out
on the labor when I need any thing done. I do my own oil and tranny changes, plugs, but beyond that
he kicks in. We have a small motor home and the going labor rate down for that sort of work is $110.00
an hour. Hope all is going well with you.
