Now the question is since today my scooter was laid to rest (dern thing blew a hole in the side of the crankcase) I'm debating on what to buy next a trike or another scoot? ? If anyone wants to know what has happened with me in the past few months send me a message and I'll fill yall in on the details.

Good to see you back. I know some day for me to ride I will need a trike but today I am riding 2 wheels and lovin it. I know every one is different with different needs but for me I am going to put off the trike as long as I can. It is and has been in the back of my mind for a long time and should I stumble upon one for the right price I might jump on it and start fixin it up for later use. john

Well all right PJ! What a journey you've had, you should write a book. We're all grins now that you're back. ;D It'll be nice to see new freaky finds in PJ's Corner again. Rich

Well were do I start hmmmm ok Apr 3rd got a new kidney and took a while to recover from it. Then yesterday the motor blew in the scooter aka burnt piston and dropped oil somewhere, tomorrow going to get a new scooter I wonder what I'll buy hmmm only time will tell. Yes I could write a book but that would be about 10 or more volumes when I'm done with it. Trust me there is a whole bunch of stories I could write about

Well, I have not had a new kidney yet. But I am having a lot of kidney stone problems. A while back I had kidney stone surgery session and in two weeks more I will have another kidney stone surgery. That and that I had shingles last summer and an eye surgery for growing cataracts. Far too many times in doctors offices and taking medicines with narcotic pain killers. My scoot is now 1 1/2 years old but only 78 miles on it. I hope to see the doctors less after this next kidney operation. I sure would like to get more miles on the thing.
Good to see you are back and doing well. I am now 79 and occasionally I do have a bit of balance problems. I don't know if it is age or some of the medications I have been taking. By fall I should be done with the medications and then we will see how things go. I have been thinking of one of the multi wheel machines. There are tricycles, the ones with two up front, and another that has a narrow rear wheel setup and a windshield over the thing. .

Glad to see you up and about, PJ. Sorry to hear about your low mileage on the scoot, bobf. You guys might be in the market for a trike pretty soon. I like the idea of reverse trikes, but there has been some bad reviews on them. I think one of the best reverse trikes is the Piaggio MP3. Now, if the Chinese can make a decent clone of this scoot - wait there may be one out there: www.roketa.com/product/34399/0/59373.shtmlNow, if Roketa can only put it on the American market, we may have a decent reverse trike which is even better than the traditional trike.

i bet a trike is better in the snow and ice. are reverse trikes called spiders? we had a 3 wheeler ,,gy6 150cc engine. kinda looked like a dune-buggy / go cart w/2 seats side by side,, steering wheel,,, it had much wider apart front wheels,, i'm thinking 5 to 6 ft span it was tippy though in the turns. good thing it has a roll cage!! looks like one can lean into turns with that MC-21-250(LYD) in the link from cruiser.
thanks for the link, cruiser
