After NASA spent more than $300.00 each, I'm wondering why astronauts need shovels?

So you be trading a used scooter worth $7-800 tops,for a full sized bike,,,,,one of the wheels on the bike cost more than that to replace ,,,I know this is a scooter forum and I'm an admin ( by a miracle) and don't get me wrong I love my Stella ,,,I really do,,,it's a fun ride but I prefer motorcycles,,,,,

ok, so I picked up the new bike and man; does it need work. someone spilled brake fluid all over the gas tank, the inside of the tank needs cleaning as well as the carbs. he says it needs battery and a regulator but it also needs side covers. most of the chrome is starting to pit and it looks like its been outside, uncovered for no less than 5 years. the good news is I drained the carbs and ran some fresh gas and it starts!

Cosmetics don't make it run better. Might be a candidate for a ratmobile.
