Ok time to 'fess up. You swapped out a Honda motor in your scoot. DON"T DENY IT! (Your nosey neighbors reported seeing you and the UPS guy roll it into your house in the middle of the night.)  |

No such thing, all Chinese with the Linhai 257cc engine in the scooter. But the original trunk box on the back fell apart and I replaced it with a Pelican Box. It has gone through several tires though.
Yes there were many oil changes too.

Ok, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. So you swapped out a YAMAHA motor?  ;D (Cause EVERYBODY KNOWS you can't go more the 50 miles on a Chinese scoot.) |

Nice tour... My parents used to live in Pittsburgh... And the next time you are passing through Quitman, I can point you to an excellent Mexican restaurant; Peralta's (sp?) built in an old house a couple of blocks down from the courthouse. Excellent stuffed poblano. In Sulphur Springs, try Los Mochis in the outlet mall shopping center; my favorite place by far. My favorite fajita beef chimichanga. Also, I can't belive you admitted to driving through Quinlan...  |

Thanks for the tips on the restaurants too. |

If you believe all of the stories then it is the worst of everything. Of course I believe that, I also believe if you buy a "Vesgman" it will run forever and never ever need maintenance. |

You went all the way to Pitsburg and there's no pic of Bo Pilgrim's head?
(Which has to be the most grotesque "statue" ever...)

Well I did not do much of anything to the scooter. It has a electric fuel pump which replaced the pulse pump. I put in more lightweight variator roller weights to give it better acceleration and hill climbing. I changed out the air filter to use a K&N type of air filter but kept it inside of the air filter box. Of course I had to replace the trunk box as it was falling apart after a while. It has gone through a few tires too, and oh yeah I put in bolt on tire valves in place of the unsafe junk rubber tire valves. I did put on a new CV drive belt too.
But the engine is the stock 257cc Linhai Chinese copy of a Yamaha engine. Roketa made two versions of this scooter, one with a copy of the Honda 244cc engine and the other with the copy of a Yamaha 257cc engine. I did not swap out any engines. You have mixed me up with someone else.
