It it has 2 wheels and a gasoline engine it's a motorcycle in Texas and requires a full class M motorcycle license, insurance, registration, motorvehicle inspection and must be operated on the street. On the shoulder or sidewalk they could give you a ticket. Robb

Some credit card companies give an automatic warrantee extension if you purchase with their card and even offer even longer warrantees if you elect to pay for them. My capitol1 card did. I think it's worth looking in to. Robb

The scooterworks page is poorly set up, the copy poorly written and it's mislabled as aluminum. Of course it isn't the only 61mm in the US. I think they meant to say the only 61mm in the US that doesn't require boring of the case. I'd wager it is simply NCY's 59.5mm iron cylinder bored out with 61mm piston. Whether it's good or not will likely depend on the metalurgy. A cage camshaft is usually hard and can snap like glass. A good conecting rod will bend instead of snap. The question is; how hard is the cylinder? Robb

I have 2 Dewalt sawsalls, 3 dewalt drills, flashlight....all 18V and no good batteries for them. I have found that it's cheaper to use corded tools [ they are more powerful also ] and buy a small generator [ coleman powermate 1.5 KW works fine ] for when no power is available. I of course took the batteries apart when they were first going bad. They look to be connected by a printed circuit. If you must go cordless I recommend ryobi; batteries are much cheaper. Robb

I went to a restaurant with my brother and his significant other. We had them put it all on one check. One of us got the senior discount and I'm afraid it was me, and I'm the youngest. I guess it's true.....it's not the years , it's the miles! Robb

I have tiny, tiny, fractions of interest in 7 oil wells in ND that have been pumping oil for up to 3 1/2 years for the oldest well. I've been trying to collect the money for the last 9 months. The largest impediment to getting paid is that my brother and I didn't sign the leases so all the proceeds belong to us less the cost of production + a 50% penalty of production costs. As of 3 months ago they were still trying to get us to sign leases, for wells that have been pumping oil for years already. Some of the leases look pretty attractive to me cash strapped as I am. I am sure they would pay them swiftly too, but I know they owe me more than the leases already and I don't want to be paid a lesser amount out of my own money they are already holding. Mostly the oil co's have been telling me they don't know me, but a week ago one of the law firms for one oil co. admitted that we own a share of that wells oil. Nice because the same co operates 3 of the other wells also. I still have to have my lawyer notify the oil co's that I want to be paid but the Dunn co. recorders office can't seem to get my original copies of my deeds in the mail, although they faxed my lawyer the deed showing it properly recorded 3 weeks ago. I'm running out of hoops to jump through. I'm not an oil and gas lawyer to be giving advice, but I would be more than happy to tell you where you can find information on the web. Oil co's don't play fair. They hire landmen who will tell the most outrageous lies to get you to sign a lease. Be warned, and do your homework if you are approached to lease your mineral rights. Robb
