Oh yes I know there is still some having a time with old man Winter, talked to a friend in Pa. yesterday and he said they still had ice and a little freezing rain. Heck Alley said there was still piles of the frozen junk laying around in Chicago land. Tvnacman, I think got snow just the other day. Doesn't seem like it will ever end this year?

But hang in there folks, it will all come to and end and then be hot as hades and you'll be ready for cold again before ya know it.

I just wanted to tell you all this and also to just let you know that I'm sure it'll make you even feel better to know "I mowed my yard yesterday!"

Jesus Mary and Joesef,,you guys have had a nasty one this year!!!!! I remember those days,,,and not very fondly either ,,,hey i had some fun when i was a kid sure,,, i havn't turned on my house heater in three - four years,,,it's been so long i don't remember,,,and i generally go thru my bikes for a very thorough clean, repaint, you know the drill,,,,and mostly the weather is crappy so i don't feel bad about driving instead of riding,,,this one is for the record books for severity and duration,,,it's going to make the spring and summer rides all the sweeter

A couple days ago we had freezing rain then snow over the top of that
Yesterday it was 50
Today is supposed to be 65
Tomorrow thru Sat is 50 and 100% chance of rain.
Sat 47

So, I'll be in the garage changing fluids, putting that ATV lift together, pulling the wheels to have em balanced, and then ride

I did ride a little yesterday, and it was great. The dog was running along side in the neighborhood and enjoyed the run as much as I enjoyed the ride.
We both sat in the garage afterward and had a cold beer.
Life is good

^65 in Ohio today!!! But a 35 mph wind. I was able to take tthe Stella out yesterday and put about 30 enjoyable miles on it though.

Glad to here you guys got out for a ride looks to be good weather in Pittsburgh now. I did about 60 miles it was a blast.

We had rain Saturday and Sunday and I thought, "Great the salt is getting washed off." Sunday night we got a quarter inch of hail-like snow and Monday morning the plows were out dumping a nice, fresh layer of salt on the highway. I got to practice my swear words. Monday the temperature climbed into the forties, most of the snow melted and my roads are nice and white again.

[Alleyoop]

Yea the weather sucks, last night had thunder and lighting(NO RAIN) and winds up the gazzoo. Today sunny and windy as heck, makes the temp feel like 30 not pleasant.

No it is two stroke, nothing like the smell of two stroke first thing in the morning. I think they are ruining the Stella with the four stroke automatic.

Didn't mind leaving the 8 inches of fresh behind in NE Ohio.
The Smell of Premix in the Morning is giving me Chills.
My 70's Snow Gear Still Smells of the Sweet klotz.
And the Smell of Zoomie Alky oil from my kart days in the 80's. would taste it for a week.
Still have a few Quarts of the Zoomie mix left to to use a Aftershave.

My two favorite smells are a tweaked two stroke, and a twin turbo on 116 octane. Truthfully I like the 116 a better.

The stellas are pretty rad I looked at them a little they also have a gear shifter for the gears without a clutch. They look like the old vespa. And very similar to the puma valentine. I bet that scoot has a lot of pickup from the get go huh. They are a 150 right? Have fun riding is the stella also oil injected or straight gas mixture.

I haven't seen the clutchless ones,mine has a clutch 4 speed. They are veeeery similar to the Vespa PX 150. As a matter of fact they are built in a Ex Vespa factory in India and just about any part from a PX Vespa will work on the Stella and a alot of folks with old Vespas change up to the Stella engine and trans. It runs very well for a 150cc scoot I did do some minor tweaking,got rid of the catastrophic converter and rejetted the carb etc. When it gets time to freshen it up I will do a big bore kit and tweak some more grunt out of it,but as of now I only have about 6500 miles on it and it runs mint so I will wait awhile longer. And yes it is oil injected.
