Ok that is Great! I got worried that it wouldn't run after sitting for just five days. Where do you get seafood, and is it expensive?

Ok good, I was asking cause I am in Florida and have about a third of a gallon of gas in my scooter back home and the gas will just be sitting there for five days and I wasn't sure if that was too long for gas to just be sitting.

Great idea except our lockers have our locks built in.

I had my scoot a work one night came out, flat tire, got air to go home, check it the next day. Found out that the tire stem valve was loose, tighten up, good to go. There is no air leaking except when I try to put the air gauge on to get a reading. I have been riding it fine so far, I just wanted to get a reading to see what they were at, and when I tried that, the back tire gave a very low reading and air was hissing out. And how do you tighten said tire stem valve! |

So I was checking my tire pressure and the front tire got a reading just fine, but when I tried getting a reading on the back tire, I put the tire gauge on the stem and got a super low reading and could hear and feel air escaping from the stem. Does this mean there is a leak? Both tires feel like they are filled to the same pressure but whenever I try to get a reading on the rear tire air just escapes from the stem. There is no sound or feel of air escaping or leaking except when I put the gauge on to try to get a reading. Does this mean I will not be able to fill my tire back up because it will possibly just keep leaking air when I put the pump on the stem?

Nougat, you are right, I should stop over worrying and have some faith in humanity. But my scooter legally qualifies as a moped so there is no insurance on it right now. Ok this has definitely helped guys, I really appreciate it  |

I live in MA, and I do have a half shell too, but if I crash and hit face first.....well my face is gonna be badly scratched up, and that won't fit in my locker. Every one in my school has an iPad, the school gives them to us so we have very few textbooks and therefor very minuscule lockers. No helmet will sadly fit, if it would that would be my very first choice but I am stuck with either putting it In my under the seat storage or rear trunk. Or possibly using a small combo lock to lock it to my oped, but then it would be in the open where anyone could kick it around or scratch it........I have some quite, pardon my language, assholeish kids in my school that I would fear them vandalize my helmet.

I attached mine to the bike with with a ski lock, a thin, hardened steel rubber covered combination lock. So far, so good. The real answer, if you're concerned, in is in your locker. I would keep it in my locker if it would fit, and well my dad and I both don't like the smaller helmets cause we feel they aren't as safe as my full face I currently have, and my locker is so small even a half shell helmet won't fit! |
