No, I'm not talking about the weather. I got my 2 scooters out of the garage today and started them up.
My Silverwing started right up.
My Roketa didn't do as well. Mainly though because it hasn't been run since about November. It was about out of gas and I suppose what gas there was in it had gone bad. I walked up to the gas station in the snow (about 3 blocks) and got $2 worth of premium gas and put in it and it fired right up. (That's about a half gallon!) Added some Sta-Bil to it and let that get all up in the engine too.
I'm gonna get the Roketa serviced up and put it on the market come about March. I figure with gas prices inching upwards I wont have a lot of trouble getting rid of it.
I tried riding my Silverwing up the driveway just a few feet and it slipped in the snow and I said the hell with that! I didn't fall over but felt like I was gonna real soon so I backed it up and put it away.
We're supposed to get 3-5" more snow tomorrow. I wish all this evil white stuff would go away so I could start riding again!

Ditto on the white stuff. I had better luck with my Roketa but I had to put a different battery in it. Fired right up for the lady that bought it.
