I think stiletto heels and mini skirts are very macho.  |

Scooters......Schmooters....I'm a child of the '50's.....where's my damn flying car they promised? Elon Musk is working on it. In the meantime, thanks to the B9 builders club you can get your robot (aka, bubble headed booby) right now. |

I was thinking of maybe a magnetic strip on your drivers license (or licence) that is read by the motorcycle/scooter starting system. No license, or revoked, and you go nowhere.  |

Sorry Leo, but when I first read the title I thought it was going to be a story (like on the George Noory radio show) about walking around a corner and finding yourself in 1967. (but I guess in a way it was.) I wouldn't worry about it too much, you know what you did and that's all there is to it. A little something from the old days. (You can see even more on Youtube.  ) |

I never see scooter riders that look like this on the street, but I vow to keep looking for them. Thanks for the link.  Yeah, a great outfit for a photo shoot, but.... ATGATT. (That way she stays pretty.) |

I am a kayaker, but I vote for the canoe. It carries a lot more. Outrigger canoes, like they used on Hawaii Five-0 are even more macho. Book 'em Danno.  |

Actually on my front axle I used a 14mm OEM nut for Honda Scooters. (BTW, these folks are the official distributors for Linhai. vvvv) www.sunright.net/linhai They might just be able to find you a new spacer. |

That is until Captain Nemo gave them an electrical hotfoot.  |

WOW! That design is really sharp looking. (I hope their "cousins" on the mainland take notice and do likewise.)  |

Don't feel too bad, I only found out two days after the fact. Jim was a great investigative writer, who dug the "dirt" on what your government would rather keep hidden. JFK, hidden history, and the real story about "Neighbors from out of town"

I don't Know if anyone has seen or heard this, but but Long time Texas author and Journalist Jim Marrs, who wrote "Crossfire: The Plot That killed Kennedy" (The book that the movie "JFK" was based) has passed. I spotted this on Youtube.

It looks awkward, like it just lost it rear wheel. (If you're going to do this stretch the body as well.) . |

Man, I feel for you. I just did my first valve adjustment on my 2013 ZNEN 150. I had about 5300 miles on it and the cold start issue was a symptom. I replaced the plug because it was time, the battery because Michigan winters are unkind and and cleaned the carburetor because I enjoy it. It was still starting hard and idling rough when it was cold. It seemed to run better when it was warm, but something just wasn't right. I grew up adjusting VW valves, so I wasn't afraid of it, at least. Perhaps I should have been. The whole process took me about two hours. A full 1:50 was spent actually getting to the valves. Now, I'm not a violent man, but Chinese "engineers" had me thinking of all sorts of creative ways to weaponize whatever tool was in my hand. The intake valve checked at .004", which was where I planned on setting them both, so I left it alone. The exhaust valve, which I could not actually see, I attempted to check by feel, once I figured out which elbow I had to dislocate to reach it from underneath while I watched from the top. There was no measurable gap. That explained all of my problems; the cylinder just wasn't sealing up because the valve wasn't closing. I used a method that V-Dubbers used to call the "trapped feeler method" (thank you, John Muir) and it worked perfectly. It was the best two hours I've ever spent on that bike. It's like a brand new machine. Anyone who hasn't done this to their bike should take the time and effort to do so. It's few tools and with a little bit of instruction anyone could. With only one cylinder and two valves, it doesn't take much to throw the whole system off. Sorry to hear about the additional troubles you had. I would go out on a limb and say that once the valves are set you'll notice a big difference. Ah yes, the joys of working on the "product" Chinese. (As a certain politician liked to say "I feel you pain") Many times that scooter had me "testing" out various wrenches for their suitability as a guided missile LOL! But when it finally worked out it was worth the effort. |
