I signed up to scootdawg in July ‘09 and came here once that closed down. I started off in Yahoo Groups and scooterforumonline (no longer around) before scootdawg.

Like Onewheeldrive, I joined the original "Scootdawg" forum back in the dark ages... Heck, I even did their banner, featuring drooling, floppy-eared "Scooter" who still pops up here and there, even here! You know, "The new home for all the dawgs"... LOL! From there, to "Scooter Rebels", where I'm still active, and when Doug told me about his vision for a new site for more than just scooters, "ItIsTheRide" was born, and Doug had me do this banner too. My avatar here shows me joining in February of 2013... Old memory fails me, but I actually "joined" with Doug even before this site existed...I was a lot friskier back then, but I'm still breathing and still around. It's been quite a ride, sometimes mighty bumpy, but quite a ride! One day I'll be riding with Doug on those streets of gold, but that's probably a few seasons away. Only time will tell...
Ride safe while you're still travelling on asphalt... LOL!  Leo (gettin' older) in Texas

Terrilee,
You'll get Chrissy going OK... Change out the fluids, drain the old gas... Clean out the fuel lines and replace any fuel filter... Spray carb cleaner through the carb (you may or may not have to dismantle the carb to get it cleaned out). Carb cleaner can do wonders cleaning out fuel lines and carb interior... Get a fresh battery. Check for spark: after so long, you MIGHT need to replace the CDI or coil but probably not.
The brake fluid may be pretty bad and need changing... I just HATE changing brake fluid... LOL!
When you get her going, for safety, it would be wise to replace the tires. Check them for dry-rot and if at all questionable, replace. Also, valve-stems. Those can be a problem if rotted.
It'll take some work, and maybe a few bucks but she'll be running again in no time!
Have a bone for "getting back on the hoss"...
Ride safe! It's been a while and you may be a tad "wobbly" at first.

I was a member of the old forum for less than a year before the demise. I don't think that is long ago enough to qualify as an old dawg.
