Well ladies and gentlemen, I just sold my Roketa 150 for $700 to the first lady to look at it. She was buying it for her 15 yr. old son soon to be 16. She loved it and paid full asking price and I think she will ride it more than he will. What that means is that the profit I made from the Roketa by getting it running right and cleaning it up and making it mechanically sound, paid for the Duke 250 that I paid $375 for with enough left over to buy a new battery and a few other parts I will need. So here it is, my free Lance Duke 250 Rock on dood!!!

Well done! Your wife can't complain about that. Now you have a couple months to work on it. Keep us posted on how it's going.

Once you get to the bottom of the "no start" issue you'll have a first class scooter. I just finished working on a Lance and most of the things I handled were pretty solid. They seem to spec good components in their rolling stock.

My wife's eyes popped out of her head when I told her that the 150 was already sold the second day it was posted. I told her, see, sometimes, not always, but sometimes I know what I am doing and she needs to listen more often. She proceeded to sight 3-4 instances that I didn't know what I was talking about. Gotta love women.

MT, the Lance has always seemed to be a dependable bike from what I have read. I have to ask: what is that pink thing in the back ground. Be glad that she was sighting instances and not a .45 pistol!!! 8^)

That is a sled. People from the great state of Georgia don't usually have to deal with the dreaded white stuff. You can also see the MB5 in the background.

Well the buyer picked up the Roketa today. Went to Notary and got transfer done, then she followed me to my house to pick up scoot. then I had to follow her home. Bless her heart, she drove it in 19 degree weather. She went slow and took her time and only went about 20mph for the three mile drive or so to her house. Got to admit, the ole Aruba looked pretty good cruzin up the road. She killed it once by hitting the kill switch instead of the turn signal. All in all it went smooth and now I put the Duke in the garage so I can start working on it. I have to pull some plastics to get at the starter. I will keep you all posted.
