I just left Sandford coming back to Deltona by way of 17-92 the winds were really high.on the stretch from Upsala to Dirksen I was getting shifted all over my Lane and had to struggle a few times to keep from getting blown into the next lane. By the time I passed Deltona Blvd the wind seem to calm down a little and that's when I spotted two scooters heading in the opposite direction one was definitely lowered and stretched. As we passed each other we tooted horns and waved. I turned Around and tried to catch up to them but they were gone. I'm quite sure they felt the wind too...Be careful out there fellow scoots cars and trucks we can see. Wind gust is the ghost that scares the hell out of bikes. Attachments:

Hey Dorian, I responded to you in another thread, so I hate to be redundant. However, I don't know if you knew that California had a recall on this scooters because of its fuel filter breaking apart. You can google it if you care too. Take care.

Alleyoop: I noticed it gave the gravity flow rate, but can these be used for a scooter with a fuel pump? BB
