Hey you guys hate taking everything out and dissassembling top ends and whatnot to check for things like broken piston rings or dirty carbs... Well I just got this nifty gadget that makes these tasks a little easier...
For less than $10 you can get a nice little android able endoscope with leds on it that can be submerged. Think you have a dirty carb? Shove it into your filter tube and feed it through. Want to look at how your piston moves while still assembled? Now you can! Feed it in the spark plug hole and watch it as you turn the engine by hand. Have a ton of body plastic in the way and just want to check the location of something? Slide it up and look all about... So cool!
Not trying to advertise but these things are cool. Cheap little gadget that saves tons of time and frustration. Probably not useful for someone doing a quick fix, but for someone like me who owns multiple scoots and tinkers with them as much as life allows me to... It's just... Why didn't I think of this sooner? haha...

Only VGA resolution but for less than $10 beats purchasing the Harbor Freight model that can cost 10 to 20 times that amount.

I remember playing my Commodore 64 hooked up to a 12 inch black and white TV.
And this was after walking to school and back five miles each way, up hill both ways in the snow, in August.

Walked uphill both ways? Lol sounds like you should have taken the reverse route each way. My kids questioned this (October through March) until I took them for a ride where I grew up and went to school. They were amazed at how hilly the part of New England I lived in was. Going up, over and down the other side of the steep Glen Forest hill to get to the school which was 2 miles past the other side or back home again sure beat walking the extra miles to go around it. Even being driven over it they found it uncomfortable though. Of course the road curves and is not straight after all its in New England.

Old school video games eh. Who else here tore apart their Atari joystick to make a button slapper so you could beat Track & Field? We screwed the joystick to a piece of wood, then attached one of the button leads to a clothes pin and the other to the piece of wood and another piece put above the clothespin, that way pressing the clothespin gave one tap, releasing another, basically doubling your speed.
