Hello all. I'm new to the board as well as scooters in general. I came on this board due to a recommendation of a friend on another scooter board to ask for some help from Alleyoop, who by the way is a tremendous help. ;D I bought a 2008 Roketa with 400 miles from a friend for $300 a few months ago with the intention of riding it to and from a prospective job I was going to get. Due to circumstances beyond my control I didn't get the job but I really like the scooter anyway. I can't really ride it to my new job (not yet anyway) because I'm gutless taking it above 30 MPH and it's too far, lol. So since the weather is changing and it's sitting in my garage I'm taking a bit of time to fix some issues (former owner let it sit for a year or so) and upgrading others. Thanks to reading some threads on this board I'm really looking forward to working on it and possibly modifying it in the future. Even more then my project car, which for me is pretty strange, lol. I'm going to be reading a lot and asking a lot of questions so thank you in advance for any advice you can give. ;D One of the former owners laid it down on the right side. It's going to need some work, and I'm thinking of changing the color. I'm not to particular to the color blue. I like being able to park this thing anywhere.

Hey Kal, great to have you on Scooter Doc. I don't know about changing the color, those yellow shocks really go well with the blue. Good looking scooter regardless though. If you need anything around the forum just let me know. Have fun! Rich

Thank you for the warm welcome fellas. I'll be sure to ask a lot of questions, count on it. I still don't much care for the blue but I figure if I take off the decals and paint the rear section blue I can maybe live with it, lol.
