Yeah, I don't think I ever bought a system at launch either. I'll wait till DR3 costs 10.00 used, then find a used X1 on CL. I try to play on the older systems like how I use to when I was a kid, but for some odd reason, the resolution and graphics really turns me off. Like i'll try to play an old school game, and all I can think about is how crap it looks compared to the new tech. sad cause I use to love those games. Even the Wii at times bugs me cause it only goes to 480p res or something. I still play Blitz on my ps2 on occasion though. Lately though I can't justify playing games, when there is other things I need to be doing. I go overboard and play for hours if I get into a certain game. Like If I had GTA5 right now, I would play that sucker for hours and just waste my life until its finished. Sucks being a grown up =p

Thanks for all the info guys. I doubt my owner's manual will tell me what type of gear oil I need. Those pieces of paper are seriously completely useless and show you where the basic parts are pretty much like the seat and such. Does it need to be a certain grade/weight too?

Thats cool, and gave me an idea for something I want for myself. I dig digital speedometers, but only seen them on cars and high end motorcycles. After reading this I did a quick google for a digital speedometer. I want to put one in my scoot dash. Thanks.

It's best to just turn the cheek, feel sorry for them, then forget about it. People like that don't think before they speak or do things, they are looking for trouble, and you want to avoid those types. Letting people go who cause trouble is what's WRONG with society. Not trying to start a debate. Your your own man/woman and you can think and decide for yourself and no one including me is going to tell you what to do. Going off topic a little, but there were three guys drinking while I was taking a leak in the mens room, and overheard one of them talking about jacking me, while his other friends said no, and that he was crazy. I waited till they left, but when I walked out, the guy who was talking about me said wassup, I didn't say anything and just gave him the dirtiest look. He came up to me with a beer bottle and whacked it over my head. His other two friends then came and got him and held him back. As I started walking away, one of them walked near me and told me to just go home. I got in my car and literally did a 360 when they let him go and he started banging at my window. At this point I was angry as , but couldn't take on three of them. So I sat in my seat with my hands on the wheel just stopped, but then, he held his arms in the air and said "what?" I floored it over the curb and onto the grass and chased his with my car. All 3 of them kept dodging and helping each other dodge, and throughout all the confusion I didn't turn my lights on and ended up crashing into a tree face first into my steering wheel. The guy starting laughing that I crashed then I went after him again, and ended up leaving and driving myself to a hospital. My whole front end was trashed with frame damage, and while driving it home after I left the hospital the hood flew up and smashed in my windows. I had to get my head stapled and I had a fracture in my jaw. I ended up getting into 3-4 drinking fights after that which caused the fracture to mess up the symmetry of my face. I use to have a real bad anger problem and this is just one of those moments. Later on in the day a friend of mine told me that I was stupid and I should have just left, but instead I made it worse. Besides my family who told me I had an anger problem, I never thought that one of my friends would tell me also. This was in my mid-20's and Im now in my early 30's. Im not a kid anymore, and I have a kid in another country from traveling (trying to bring him here, but that's another story. What happened to me wasn't because I said something or nothing, it was because the guy was either drunk or all twacked out, but the consequences can be related to the OP's situation had the situation played out differently.
A few months ago I was at the swap meet and there was a guy just looking at something and I saw something I wanted to look at, so I went to try and grab it, and he extended his arm and told me to wait cause he was looking. All I wanted to do was kick him straight in the head and after wards while walking away just sick thoughts running through my mind about stabbing him in the face.This one other time at my apartment complex, my roomate and I were walking up to the elevator and some dude just speeds up in his car right in front of us and stops. We both looked at him like we wanted to f him up, and my roomate said let's just go, and I told him what the f are you talking about. He just said that it wasnt worth it. That guy was the boyfriend of another tenant in the building coming to pick her up. Next day someone told us he got aressted that night for starting a fight with someone. Walking away bruises my ego a lot, but its just not worth the consequences that can happen, and you really never do know what will happen. There's a difference between letting someone go, defending yourself, and all that, but in the end if theres something we can all agree on that's wrong with society, i would think it would be violence, and you can't be against confrontation and violence, and yet condone or be a part of it.

Wow, I am curious to know that woman's, "other colorful opinions." Really rude, and you have got to have balls to call out any stranger with or without a valid reason. Sure, I would be like "what the f..?" and be seriously tempted to say or do something, but like with anyone you meet, you never know who this person is or what they are capable of doing.
A woman with that kind of balls, tells me she may be a person of authority. School teacher? Cop? She may just have had a previous incident(s) with a scooter. Maybe she's just a B, and can't help being one. People who have a mouth usually get backlash and learn the hard way, but even a woman with balls is still a woman. It's best to just turn the cheek, feel sorry for them, then forget about it. People like that don't think before they speak or do things, they are looking for trouble, and you want to avoid those types.

Any gamers here? The X1 comes out next month, and dunno when the PS4 does prob end of the year who cares lol.
I love the 360 when I can play online, but due to certain issues I can't so i've begun to hate my 360 because of all the Micro$oft policies like;
online authentication xbla games wont make over to x1 their recent policies which were overthrown (yes I was a part of the pack that went to majornelsons forum and whined and said Id go out and buy a ps4)
microsoft usually gets a hold of the better games, but their policies and prices are just enough to make me want to consider getting a ps4. Then I cant play Dead Rising 3, omg and right now that is the only game I want to play on the X1. None I really want to play on PS4 cept maybe Kingdom Hearts 3, but I didnt even finish the first two that came before it.
If both machines had the same exclusives I'd get a ps4, just cause its more user and consumer /friendly I havent been playing close attention to what new features or policies the machines are actually going to come out with though.
For me though, the actual games comes before anything else, so I'm most likely getting an X1.

I saw this video on youtube a few weeks ago, and I couldn't make much of what the guy was saying because he had a heavy accent. From what I can make out he has some performance exhaust on it and it sounds much more powerful than my whining scooter, although I know it won't give me the power of a motorcycle, i still rather listen to that exhaust than mines =p
Also he was showing some of the aftermarket parts he put on that supposedly can add an extra 10mph or something. Legit? Cause If it's true I want those.

Looks nice, and the price is reasonable too. Wish I saw this before I bought mine. Sort of same exterior, but yours looks nicer.

Thanks, I didn't end up reading this again till about an hour ago. I couldn't find yamalube at walmart or oreilys. does it really matter much if i use 15w 40 or 10w 40? I think I read somewhere that only difference is that 15w will make it run a little more cooler. The warning sticker on my bike says only use 15w though so shouldnt I comply with the warning? I ended up buying this Lucas 2-cycle; I put it in when I got home, started her up to make sure the noise was gone then parked it in the garage. It wasnt till I was in the shower that I realized I made the mistake. Should I dump it all out now? I'm assuming its not safe to use, but i dunno.

Today I bought 4 cans of Rockstar and put it in my trunk, and when I got home and opened it I saw a pool of green. At first I thought it was the oil I bought, then saw a puncture hole on one of the cans. I inspected my trunk to see if there were any sharp edges but they were all round, then thought it was most likely my chain bounced up and hit the can. I know an aluminum can is way less stronger than one of those containers, but still I was like when I saw it.

Great!! You have a GAS TANK AND A OIL TANK. So you DO NOT HAVE TO MIX OIL WITH YOUR GAS. Just keep the OIL TANK Full with 2 STROKE OIL. Alleyoop thanks guys, i honestly do appreciate the help cause I dont have anyone else to ask about this kind of stuff and I know it takes more time to help a noob than someone with more experience.

Im pretty sure the gas tank is separate cause I wanted to locate and fix the fuel sensor and saw it right under gas cap; It is odd that its a 2-stroke, but I don't need to mix gas with the oil? am such a noob, cause thats the reason why i didnt want a 2-stroke having to pre mix. I guess 2-strokes suck just as much as 4-stroke cause this thing struggles like a 4-stroke is described by others lol.

You have a 2 stroke that white tank is your 2 stroke oil tank. Alleyoop OMG are you absolutely certain? The guy I bought it from said it was a 4-stroke, and I pretty much figured it was cause it was a 2012 model, which the dealer here sells 4-strokes in 2012 and up. So does this mean I have to mix gas with the 15w 40 oil when I fill it? I don't want to mix gas in it and it ending up being a 4-stroke will something bad happen? ..lol
