dang i figured you were gonna say that lol. someone tried to either steal my scooter or move it and they broke my entire right side electric start housing and my throttle assembly. what did you notice different about the cvt with those performance parts and if you dont mind me asking how heavy are you? i have been wanting to mess with the roller weights but i have been sick with cancer since the beginning of the year and the scooter has been sitting. before it would go to 58 mph with me on it wide open and i weighed 280 at the time

i could use multiple things. does it have the electric start housing on the handlebars? if so can you post a pic? what comes in the cvt kit im sure mine would be very similar.

my my i didn't realize my statement would cause so much reply. i agree that rain isnt a problem with proper gear and tires on a motorcycle though i personally still hate it cause seems like no one can see me. i apologize that i was unclear but i was just talking about it being safer in general after reading about it. i do agree that we will have to wait and see how it fairs in real life but since it isnt in production yet all we can do is compare specs,
pro what tires do you have on your car? the only tires i have had that have lasted less than 30k were mud terrains on my truck. my last set of a/t tires lasted me 75k and they were rated for 50. just seems really weird i had put michelins on my girls camry and now she has goodyears but the michelins lasted well over 80k and that is with rotations and balances at 10 or 12k miles depending on her lack of memory on maintanence

late night no traffic riding is amazing. now heavy traffic at night is scary. most chinese scooters will take more than a bulb switch out to get better lighting cause like they stated it either cant support the wattage or some other stupid reason.

to me doesn't look half bad and for florida your right would be alot safer and cheaper with all the rain. i wonder who makes the motor. 30k for tires is a little low maybe if you went as cheap as possible with chinese brand tires but mostly tires for street use have a 50k life and if you go for the top brands you can get 80k and 100k tires now price depending on your connections and skill at searching for a deal of course lol

I saw this on my facebook yesterday and it makes me absolutely disgusted. im sorry but if they had done that to me they would of found half those bikes crushed on the highway. you threaten me and my family over a accident and i will react accordingly to defend myself with my truck or any weapons i have inside. i love to ride bikes and here in tampa cars and trucks seem to never see me when im riding but that animal pack mentality doesnt sit right with me.

Well I'm finally dressed for release yesterday results took to long, they are saying my numbers are very strong for just doing chemo and that I'm responding very well to the treatment so hopefully it will go away quickly with the other treatments

I should be getting released from the hospital today , the doctors say I have done quite well with the first treatment and that my numbers are still good. As long as I stay inside my disinfected house I should be ok but gonna have to go for daily shots and another chemo appointment every 21 days. But things are looking good they are telling me that it's a positive I'm so young and it grew so quickly it's reacting better than anticipated from my blood work.

Good luck Sharks ! Did we speak on the phone a few weeks back ? John Yes we did seems like a lifetime already being stuck in the hospital is quite frustrating

I know I wasn't on scootdawg long but I thought I'd post and let you guys know I was diagnosed with cancer last Thursday and I'm still in the hospital. Pretty lucky to be alive I'm told due to the fact that I had a 3.6 inch tumor in my chest on one side of my heart and a large fluid sac on the other side doctors told me they were shocked I was able to wait so long to come in since they said it should of felt like a major heart attack the way it was crushing my heart. Anyways I have been in the hospital 9 days so far and did my first chemo for B cell lymphoma yesterday I am hoping I will get out of here soon only to be put on house arrest until my next session. So just think when your down you could be me lol
