page 2 i bought 4 from him. got 2 awhile ago for my atm50 and just got 2 more for my new 150 that i haven't installed yet. i really like them for the price, big step up from stock. on my atm50 the stock valve stems failed on me when i checked tire pressure. i'm afraid to check the tire pressure on my new scoot for that reason. lol I meant page two of the Kurvey girl web pages that I posted. (with postage it probably works out to about the same price as ebay) oh i c it now. think they are the same: www.kurveygirl.com/shop/shopping_cart.phplooks like they are $1 cheaper than ebay. comes to $12.75 with shipping for U.S.A.

Hey ramblinman those are the exact ones I put on (page 2 of the link) I liked the idea of the strength of steel over the aluminum ones. page 2 i bought 4 from him. got 2 awhile ago for my atm50 and just got 2 more for my new 150 that i haven't installed yet. i really like them for the price, big step up from stock. on my atm50 the stock valve stems failed on me when i checked tire pressure. i'm afraid to check the tire pressure on my new scoot for that reason. lol

if you're good with tools this site may help: www.diymotorcycleseat.com/index.phpi've seen a scooter with modified seat. he shaved the hump so the could sit back farther to allow more leg room. think he said he was 6' 4" so it was a necessary modification for him.

Thanks for the links and tips. My Pirellis are on their way. I talked to a motorsports store and they are going to mount and balance them for 25 bucks a piece; after watching the video of the guy struggling to get the damn tires off and the new ones on its 50 bucks Im ok with spending. do you have to take the rims to them or will they do all the work? if they are doing all the work then that is $50 well worth spending imo. good advice. definitely upgrade the valve stems. i got mine here: www.ebay.com/itm/161222040455?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649you can find cheaper ones and more expensive, just don't go too cheap or you'll be replacing them again.

hmm, can't delete posts anymore? well i got a call from someone else. coming to take a look at it around 4 so might be sold today, we shall see. he did ask what is the lowest i would go... sigh. i swear if the body was in mint condition i would have a $500 sign on it. put about 8 miles on it today, it runs so good i'd be dumb to sell it for less than 4 bills but told him if he comes take a look at it i'd give him a good deal. Bah, lol.

Speaking of TV, I bet you watched High Stakes Poker on GSN? I miss that show. I think there were 4 or 5 seasons---and the last one wasn't as good without Gabe as the announcer (Norm MacDonald). Jamie was a disaster whenever he played..hahaha. i've seen some of the epsiodes. it was always good comedy to watch Jamie give away his fortune. On a side-note, I"d probably play the small tourney at the Moose, but I always seem to work Wednesdays lately. Maybe I'll play there soon if I get time. Once again, good job! time to put in for a day off. thanks, would have gone yesterday (monday night) but wasn't feeling well. gonna try to get in the game as often as possible. i've been away from the tables for too long. should have got back in much sooner, probably would have had money for that 250cc by now.

another good night on the poker table. not nearly as nice as sunday night but i want to keep this topic alive. won $139 in about 3 hours. session started out slow not getting any good spots. finally got AK on the button and misplayed it against a decent player. so my initial $100 buy-in was gone after i got it all-in on a king high board vs his KK. i should have known better when he raised to $15 preflop but i was so card dead that AK looked like gold at the time. so i rebought for another $100 and slowly built it to $339 and cashed out. adding another $100 to the poker roll. on a side note, i saw a guy that looked exactly like jamie gold i can't say for certain if it was him but he was playing in the high limit room so it is definitely possible. think they were playing $10/$25 no limit. edit: i'm going to say it was him. just now see he lent his name to a poker room in palm beach that opened last week. so he is or was in the area. man would i love to get in that game, he is terrible at the game, lol. ok, maybe not terrible but definitely not good.

i bought my pirelli tires from them. the dyna beads work just don't use soap or any other lubricant when you mount your tires otherwise the beads will stick and become useless. i learned that the hard way.

i really expected to get more interest through craigslist. only received one ridiculous offer. oh well, think i will put a sign on it and drive it until it sells.

i use to belong to a forum that started charging. well, actually still do just don't log in there much anymore. they set it up so a section was closed to non-subscribers. most of the forum was still free. it was a small fee, think $3 per month iicr and i would have probably paid but many of the paying members got a huge stick up their you know where towards non paying members... so no thanks, i didn't need the info that bad.

What clutch did you get? give me the link of where you bought it. I maybe able to find the springs for it. I know the springs that everyone sells will not fit the NCY clutch they are to long. Alleyoop www.partsforscooters.com/169-187_QMB-GY6-50cc_Transmission-Kitoriginally i tried to swap the 3 springs with the stock clutch but the stock springs are longer. i'm selling the scooter though so i don't plan to do any more work to it. guess i could pass the info on to the buyer if he wants to install them.

I split the main pot with an older guy there awhile back--- about a grand total for 1st and 2nd combined, I got $492 total to be exact, after splitting. Finished 3rd once or twice and made the final table a few time besides that but got busted out before cashing. very nice! when it comes to gambling their is no better feeling than winning a tournament imo. last time i won a multi-table tourney was when we could still play on pokerstars, about 3 years ago. generally i only play cash games live so i haven't won too many tournaments.
