Nice pic oil That old girl has some miles. Real nice looking scooter dependable as a switch watch I bet. I would imagine that scoot has just required general maintenance.

The Honda Elite was a good example of the Japanese looking at what a vehicle needed to last and built them that way. Last year Matt at Parts for Scooters linked a story on Facebook about two guys taking 1985 Elites, cleaning them up and riding from New York to LA. I said two things. "If somebody wrote that they took a 1985 Gold Wing cross country would you consider that a miracle?" I also said, just so he'd know who Jim Zeiser was, "I would think a story about somebody riding a Chinese scooter from Maine to Key West would be more exciting. Oh wait, we've been through that debacle already."
That is a pretty scooter. Ride it well, care for it and it will serve you for a long time. They were built to last. They changed the scooter world forever when they came out.

I dig your scooter I like it. I never saw one that looked like yours it must have been like that for a year or something. Any questions feel free to ask that's why this sight is here. Alley or bashan or kz or some one else will get you squared away. California is a cool state got to be fun to cruze around there.
