Did a little traveling and got colder than I ever been in the past 12 years. Got home and in the morning started the Honda Reflex which was hard to get going. The Magnum started after the 6th try and a few hit on the gas, NICE. I took the air filter cover off the Honda and found no filter in it. This is how a local shop here in Florida returned my scooter after it was serviced. I remember when I got it was idled at 1,800rpms so I cut it back to 1,450rpms, I did not think to check the filter as I was told it had been checked and was ok. Now that is 2 shops here in this area that has done me bad. I will never use them again or get parts from them, in the long term they will loose.
Been 77-82 here since I got back and have been riding daily...Gotta love Florida for scooten

Mike I'd be pissed and looking for compensation , I was just looking to get a chuckle from ya .
I have been working a lot and have not been in here in the last few weeks what happened to your trike ? Was it something major or minor ?

No the trike is fine, just had to get the fuel to the carb after setting while I was on a trip. That trike is a lot of fun now that I have had a few parts made and replace all the Chino bolts and bearings and motor mounts on the rear and I just can not remember alll the things... I now just run it around town and never over 55 MPH and I ahave no problems at all with it. I will be moding the wheel hubs soon and than it will handle higher speeds and less viberations requiring less adjustments and repairs. It is just the trike section that has give me trouble, which includes chain, but I have almost got all redone and will complete later
