Going on 65 and single;
In your 20s:
Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss and put on clean clothes.
Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because, you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout line.

Did the locals call out the National Guard? Three scooter jockies together on a public road.   |

It's extremely rare for me to have a passenger so that wouldn't be a problem but, my wallet isn't anywhere near that large.

Well as far as motorcycles go, I have witnessed a bike with no rear wheel have the swing arm set on the step of a pu's step bumper and ropes run from the ends of the bumper to the front to the bikes frame. The front wheel was left free to just follow along. I would never do it but, it did work. We hillbillies of the north have been known to do unusual things from time to time.  As far as a scooters go, if the rear wheel don't turn and then that being the major part of it, wouldn't it be OK to just trow it in the ditch. After all they are just cheap play things.  |

I don't know about saving it but, at least it wasn't wasted.
And you had some fun. Right?

Belong to MOOT (Magna Owners Of Texas) but never rode with them being in Wisconsin and have since sold the Magna. I have been a member and rode some with GWRRA (Gold Wing Road Riders Association) but didn't enjoy riding with the groups and they didn't have anything else to offer. So I'm a loner as well. There's not many scooters here in Appleton area but they are growing in popularity. I don't know if a club would be viable.

I hear ya about the tinnitus.
Glad to hear about saving the charger. It's good to have smart friends.
Bashan, you never broke a vise? You need bigger hammers.

High quality machining of the components. The Japanese are better at that than the Chinese. They also charge more for some reason.

The charging system in a car has a much larger output (amps) than your scooter is made for so yes it can make a mess. If the car wasn't actively charging during the jump it wouldn't hurt the scooter. But all it would take was the car to start charging.

Sorry I don't know Jack. And I'm looking for an inexpensive and easy to do, for a semi-disabled person, way to transport a DISABLED scoot/cycle.
