I had to get the scoot inspected. My local Honda dealer has always been good to me, so I take the opportunity to give them a plug.

Nice post! Have a bone on the old chopper guy...
It IS good to have a reliable dealer. I'm fortunate to have MOXIE SCOOTERS here in Texas. They do their customers right. And you're not kidding about not trusting folks to stop at red-lights! EEEWWW!
Ride safe, and keep up the swell videos.

I was "lucky" enough to be "forced" into working on my scoot myself, because no one (besides one place) would work on it. The local Honda/Yamaha dealer won't/wouldn't work on Chinese scoots.
Probably one of the best things to happen to me, to be honest. I just passed 60,000km on my scoot and have done all the work myself. I never worked on an engine or a lot of anything before that.

Nothing like having peace of mind knowing that everything is fine on your ride, because you did it all the right way!  |

Thanks all. I will be posting another vid tonight I hope. I was sick for a couple days, so didn't get any good footage.

Nothing like having peace of mind knowing that everything is fine on your ride, because you did it all the right way! Yeah. I think next year is the last year for this scoot. The body panels and a few other things are getting beat up. After 8 1/2 years and over 61,000km, I just don't think I'm going to put anymore money into it. At this point "new" just seems refreshing and even safer. Seems a lot of replacement panels are just ever so slightly different than the originals. Not sure what I'm going to do scooter wise. I want to scoot forever though. I don't think I'll be going the generic Chinese route if/when I do get another scoot. I might though because I can toy with it on the cheap side--kinda fun sometimes. The scoot will be over 50-72cc for sure. Prob the 150cc range. Maybe even a motorcycle (and scoot), who knows. |

Given your history of success with Chinese scooters you might want to look up a Bintelli or Wolf brand dealer. These people have raised the bar on scooter quality and both brands carry 150cc scooters.
