So I took the last couple of days of from work to make a six day weekend to help my nieghbor start a project and to do a tear down on the scoot. Mainly to fix an oil leak and put in some L.E.D.'s and do a tighty on things. So here it is Sat. afternoon and I am inside cuz it is still raining Oh sure got all kinds of dirt moved from my nieghbors yard in between the raindrops, even made a run to the dump...But no workie on the scoot. I do not have a garage so no cover to work under. I did the ol tarp garage last winter to fix my trooper / Rebuilt top end...Had to ride scoot in snow. Oh that was fun. I vowed that I would not do the tarp thing or ride scoot in snow again...But if it does not stop up here at 2800 ft. I may just have to break that vow..Dont worry honey I would never break any of those Anyhow I am sure I will be complaining how hot it is in a few weeks..just kinda frustrated with the weather.

So where you at CPTK? Above 2800 feet, that kinda narrows it vertically, but laterally you could be all kinds of places. Do you charge admission for folks to see your butt whine? If you put it on youtube I can post it as a cell on your thread. It might be good for membership. Seriously, where you located?

Hey Bashan, I am up in th foothills of northern calif. I did have sucess today monday. After a good day Sun. was able to put some saelant on the trani side of the scoot and actually had to make my own gasket for the right side since I ordrered wrong gasket/ or did not check it when it came. L.E.D.'s did not come in yet so I will have to wait. But I do believe oil leak is gone. If I was a better with the tech side I would post pics. . Nice thing though was I broke my gas recirc. tip on air box and tried to J.B.Weld it Sun....Broke it Mon. putting it together, got into my bucket of nuts&bolts found a plumbing compression fitting same dimensions and screwed it into air box like it was meant to be...and low and behold it works like a charm..I so love those fixes. It is amazing what you can find in your bucket of miscellaneous.
