I went over to check it out. The ad forgot to say that some assembly is required.
No rear turn signals, no rubber on the rear, the thing is seriously rusty, just way more than I want to put into it.

John has a small banner that says he's an "AD FREE DONOR". Under my nick it says, "AD FREE DONUT"
It's a play on words I came up with a long time ago, and Rich loved it and added it to my profile.

YO! Petey! you are strangely silent my friend. I was expecting you to jump in here.
For those who responded already, I will be test riding it tomorrow since today is a holiday and they are closed.

Too bad. We have lots of those here. Shipping would kill you though.

Can I play? I don't own a scooter anymore. Just my ever trusty Honda 750 Nighthawk. (and maybe a Yamaha Virago 1100 soon)

Your tripping me out JR. I was wondering what kind of error mixed the threads up. Especially now that my first response to the other thread is ahead of my other one. Weird...

John,
I had the idea for Ad Free Donut quite some time ago and asked Rich to do it for me. We waited to see how long it would take somebody to notice. You win!

Yours is a VStar, this one is a Virago. Just wondering what kind of maint it's going to require. It's bigger than my 750, I wonder how it handles. I thinks I might have to go take it for a test ride.  |

Looks like a cool game. I might just borrow it.

That's a charging diode and you had it hooked up backwards. Use a meter and find which way has the high resistance and then you'll know which way to connect it.
This is where I got my new one.

I just cleaned out some room in the yard by selling 4 bikes for $150. The guy was stoked to get them all at such a great price, and I was happy to see them gone.
That's how it's supposed to work.

Yes it is. I was on the down slope when I was diagnosed. Since then, I've reversed it's course and on my way back to the best of health. But its a constant battle. I can't give it an inch or it will take 30 miles.
