I wet sanded and rubbed out the panels I painted this winter giving them a chance to dry and harden and put my new lettering on. I decided to take a roll of old pistripe and do a little striping. What do you all think?    You can also see a bit of my other baby in the background. |

How many chiropractors does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one but it will take him 7 visits to do it.

Amen to your last statement. Don't forget to drop the exhaust and dump it out as I am sure some diesel and gunk flowed in there from the cylinder.

Are you moving to Sharon? You will be about 15-20 minutes from me depending on where you are.

The second one is definately Chinglese, but the first one makes sense. I always try to relax my moon when I am driving, always seems to pucker up when there is a close call though.

Took a nice ride to the park the other day. Snapped a more current pic, so I though I would post it here. Still have about $500 into it with new tires, starter, solenoid, battery and rear brakes. I have new lettering for it also but I have to put some clear on the side not showing.  |

They look nice but they still have those crappy chino mirrors with the signals that point to the ground.

Fixed.
Took off the CVT cover today just to see if I can see anything. Well the rubber trim piece folded under when I changed th CVT fluid. It was all worn so the belt was rubbing the rubber tri piece and caused the shudder.
Done

Yes,
They are increasing in value daily.
Thanks for the compliment. I picked up another Tomos, I will post some pics shortly.

You sure you don't want a job? I just got a call today asking if we'd look at a moped "that's sat for 5 years"! If you like, I'd be glad to refer them to you. I found one in Houston Pa. for a friend last month. It was a 1980 Puch Pinto. It was bought new for this guys wife and she put 34 miles on it, decided she did not like it and he parked it in his basement for 30 years. The basement was wet and the rims rotted through as did the tires. The gas turned to varnish and the motor siezed. We took the head off and it was like brand new inside. He paid $40 for it and sold the motor for $120 after it was unsiezed. Five years is nothing. |
