I also live in Vegas.... Born and raised.
A person shot for theft already had justice before the courts were involved.... Just saying Mr. Crawford.
How about a follow up on this story? Or posting the Motorcycle/ Bicycle/ Pedestrian accident stats this year? 12 folks were hit in July alone........crossing the street.
You are more likely to be injured riding on a daily basis..... Gun ownership only raises the chance of deadly force being used...... Just pointing out an opinion.
Good Luck and be safe. ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE OTHER GUY

Indeed, it is possible. Is it worth the effort though?
Remember, most of your stopping power is up front anyway. Sure it will make a difference but, may not be needed in the long run. JMHO
Your money and time is valuable.... Granted it would be a cool project but, (like adding a turbo) The cost and benefit needs to be evaluated. There is a reason why rear drum is so popular.
Good Luck and Ride Safe !!!!!!

Seems like Quoting the person above you is not needed.......... Sorry if that seems a bit rude.
For extreme security research an Abloy 362 lock and Almax chain.......
The lock is more expencive than the scoot

Nothing is as good of a deterrent as a decent Lock and Chain, Alarm Combo. GPS does work....... after the fact..... After it's stolen insurance is the best route. Once recovered from tracking it maybe totaled anyway.
Drama is NOT my thing but, I can indeed recommend a lock a chain No freeze/bolt cutter will work on. The price range is a bit absurd for scooter use though. Let me figure out how to post links and pics (this is my 3rd post afterall)
Good Luck!!!!

I'm reviving a dead scoot.....
It's just a 139qmb China 50cc. It was working fine untill the battery died. Then, parked in a garage for the past few years. I am just now getting around to it. Today I am draining the old gas as a first step.
I know I need to clean out the tank and carb (sitting for years with fluids from 2012) ( I am familiar with scooter basic repair) ...... Any Hints, Tips, Tricks, or links to get started?
This maybe an ongoing project with a budget of $0.00 
Thank You in advance |

Hi there, As I am new here, take my advice with a grain of salt, Is it possible to take the scoot indoors overnight? Maybe park it in the livingroom for instance? ...if your in an upstairs unit this could be an issue ... A Brand new scoot is sure to be a target, A trip to HomeDepot is a decent idea.... Pass by the normal lock and chain section for a tow cable instead. Aprox. $25. Twice now I have thwarted overnight robbery with a cable that is simply to strong for Boltcutters. Another $25 for a GOOD Boron infused lock should do you well. Look into a Wheel lock also... Some have an alarm built in. GPS is a good idea but not so realistic at a budget price (unless you get a prepaid phone) I wish you well and GOOD LUCK!!!!!! |
