Got to the lower 50's and sunny yesterday. I took the night off work to see a school play my grandson was in. But I did get about an hour ride in. Now it is raining today.

75 degrees today in south Louisiana. Took my wife on a ride this afternoon for a couple of hours on our PST150-H. Engine is doing a lot better with the 29 tooth sprocket.

Oh sure, rub it in with your 75 degrees! ;D Well it got into the sixties here and I did get the RT out for a short time. Aired up the tires and raised them all off the ground and let her sit in the sun for over an hour. Had her up to about 55 mph without much of any vibration even when braking.(I'm thinking the tires had flat spots from sitting and being a little low in pressure the last couple of rides I had before winter because the vibration was pretty severe on hard stops until she was warmed up). She's runnin' pretty good so I'm lookin' forward to warmer days. Hell, the fuel gauge even worked!

I got out for a bit. It was in the 40's mid morning when I went out for a short spin. Came back in to warm up and went back out aroud 2pm when it finally got into the 50's. A few hrs pokin around for about 60 miles. Getting cabin fever. I'm ready for the warm stuff.

I'm five miles from the PA border. I took the 50cc bike into town for groceries. I'd drag out the Fashion but the roads are still white with salt. After this rain passes through and they rinse I'll do some serious riding.

Took a 90 mile ride on the trike the other day. Very nice and smooth ride. All went well....until the next day. I found a puddle underneath the trike. There is water leaking from the point where the "joint" pipe from the water pump attaches to the bottom of the engine. I have plenty of coolant in the reservoir. The engine now overheats. I either have a bad water pump or a thermostat issue. I give up. The trike only has 3,920 miles on it. There is issue after issue.
On a lighter note.

I just purchased a 2012 Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive Model earlier today. Good ridden Sunny, hello Suzuki.

Sunny couldnt even help me with my water pump issue. They need pictures or a part number that I, MYSELF, need to find.

It is supposed to be spring with average temps in the fifties. We are getting more snow again today. They say 6"- 10". Man, I'm tired of cold and snow. I wanna ride.

Hey Justin! Congrats on the Burgman purchase! That's a very sweet ride that I'm sure will be trouble free! My '88 Suzuki Intruder 750 has never given be problems and she'll be an antique this year! Soooo, did you trade in the RT or are you gonna sell her? Wouldn't blame ya but I'm stickin' in out with mine and will keep tryin' to keep her roadworthy. Post some pics of the new ride soon! ;D

Hey new2scootn, Thank you. Suzuki's 0% interest for 5 years promo was too good to pass up.
I am going to try to sell the trike. I am going to pull the thermostat and see if it is opening up or not. But i need to diagnose the overheating issue before I sell her. I'm throwing in a free cover, and a sound system. I have a radio velcro'd to the side of the scoot and 2 speakers in the back trunk and one speaker on the left side of my console.
