There you go. You're always thinking positive. I'm kinda looking forward to finding out what ruined the rest of my fall riding time though. If it needs a bigger stronger part or just engineered different I've found a fabricating shop that can do that from the ground up. We'll see.

ooooohh!!! don't even think that. My last house burned down six years ago!!! besides....I dropped full coverage 2 weeks ago. Naw ALL of my plans for free time have fallen totally through this month so far. I've spent 4 0f the last 5 days out of town on company buisiness and the next two weeks are gonna be full also. Now that I have a full staff, I've been utilized in other areas that I should have been for a long time . Now I can go to more advanced trainings myself and expand my knowledge and thus become a better trainer myself. I just feel that it can only help our clientel in a better way and also I can give our entire staff higher quality training that they deserve,thus making the whole organization stonger and give it a better chance to serve the comunity with better trained staff.
I absolutely intend on totally fixing Liberty up BETTER than new,but for now,my wants are gonna have to take a back burner to my responsibilities.

I'll finally get to delv into mine this weekend (crossed fingers), I've got a full crew and only one class to teach early Sat and it just turned cold here so the riding bug's not biting me. Maybe one day I will have it debugged. I've got my other little scooters to ride for a pacifier until liberty gets going safely again. It gives me hope when others get the bugs out and I can steal ideas from them.

Hey new2scootn, did your front brakes make a kind of like a clicking noise after you pressed and released the right brake lever that kinda sounded like the gears on a ten speed bike when you pedaled backwards? that's what mine does until you press on the left brake handle afterwards. That happens everytime that I stop at a stop sign and the clicking is there until I give a very quick squeez on the left brake lever. The poor quality crap never seems to end on these Roadrunners. And all of this happens even before 800 mi,and I've not heard of any owner that has not gone through the same things. I know that not ALL chinese bikes are the same,but,this one has scared me so much that I don't think that I'll ever buy another Chinomachine again, I'd rather buy a used Honda or Vespa. At least I'd get more than 600 miles out of it before it needed MAJOR COSTLY repairs and you can get a regular bike shop to work on them.

serious though guys,my digi tac won't even read out at idle speeds and sometimes not even if you're at higher steady speeds. You have to either rev it and then you get a rediculous jump in the readout and then no readout at all when the rpms are slowing down.

Hey friends, I still haven't got to tear into Libertyn yet,but, I did get her moved to the garage or carriage house if you prefer. I have all my tools and stuff back there and a cherry picker and a couple of floor jacks. I may have an hour or two tommorow night to take out the seat pan and at least see what the damage is. I'm already thinking of what I can put the drivetrain in if the mounting holes on top are wallowed out or worse.

Hey guys,sorry I haven't been on for the last several days. A bunch of emergencies at the shelters and two funraisers going on at the same time have kept me out till wee hours of the morning,It should and that's a weak should start calming by next weekend or so. I've not had any time to check out Liberty yet. I have though calmed down about her being disabled though,now that I haven't had time to think about her,I don't think it's soooo bad. I'll just deal with it when I get the chance.
Oh, and the interviews went perfect the other day and I think that we were sent the perfect employee that is gonna be a great fit for the job. Thanks for the prayers and crossed fingers my friends. I can't wait till I get to see with me own eyes what went wrong with my scoot, it has made me curious as heck.

I totally agree with you Justin,I will never buy ANYTHING from SUNNY again,for as much as these cost I could have had a Honda or a nice used Harley sportster or a NICE 250 of any other brand.
I'll never buy from the same scooter shop again either,they new what they were selling. I'm gonna try to get mine going safely,but with all of the sub par welding and thin tubing in the frame and cheap bearings and all,It's hard to imagine it ever being totally safe. I'm even looking into the possibility of transplanting the engine into a two wheeler. That is if the package will fit anything else. It's maddening.
