Greetings,
My name is bucky joe, I am a two-scooter sidewalk commando from Seattle, Washington. U.S.A. Good to be here.
Before I get started lets get one thing out there straight away. Upon researching my new - used Chinese parts scoot on-line, well, ...I found only unfavorable reports (...death trap? :-O ) as to the quality of the machine so was mildly disappointed. But hey, not for long.
---------------------------------
Got a free Geely JL 150-T 5 from a guy at work. Title too. It had been laid down a couple of times, left and right, ugh. Anyway I really liked the wheels so I hauled it home to get beyond the body panels for an amateur inspection. Humm, heavier than it looks.
Dude. unreal. This thing is a beefcake. Totally stout. MING HO! Big heavy alloy rims w/ 12X4 tires, disks front and back, super knarlin' stubbed off motorcycle type forks secured into a cast attachment knuckle that has got to weigh 10 lbs., and a 150 four stroke. Hell I don't know for sure, maybe it got brazed together with coat hangers in some cruddy, dank, soot saturated sweat shop - and a lot of guys say there is a high probability my scoot smells. Yeah, I disagree. This scoot, the JL 150-T 5 is a keeper.
The short story is, I'm already having a great time with the Geely although it not running; just getting it ready for Spring.
Grin n' Buzz Me,
buck
