Time for annual state inspection and the kill switch suddenly quit working on my wife's Buddy 125. Removed the handle bar fairing to access the control quadrant screws. Opened it up and it looked clean an corrosion free on the inside. Great! I have to check ground wires now.
-Removed the front hood to check ground wires. I live near the salt water, so even a garaged scooter develops a lot of corrosion.
-I noticed a blue wire, separate from the other wire bundles that ran from the right control quadrant to an unknown metallic box under the hood. Then I notice a lot of rust on the bolt connecting that unknown box to the frame. I removed the box and sanded the areas where the unknown metallic box and frame touch each other.
-After reassembly, the kill switch was working again. I hope it keeps working because we ride in areas packed with cars and pedestrians. Cheers

The vaping products are being marketed just as aggressively. Vaping ads dominate the morning news breaks here.

De-restricting a four stroke will make it faster. Just not as fast as a 2t.

Wow. I haven't thought about the wiener whistles in a long time. I only had one.

If that Aprillia is a two stroke, you can make get a surprising amount of power out of it by de-restricting it and adding a few more mods.

Saw John Wick3 today. Crazy violent. The violence is not so graphic, but plentiful. The movie has great characters, a secret society and a secret code to live by. Great motorcycle chase scene. Halle Berry. Entertaining, but my cup of tea.

Thunder Road. Robert Mitchum. Nuff said.

We saw Rocket Man, about Elton John. It was in part, a musical with choreographed dance scenes. Not for you unless you are a fan. Definitely not for pre-teens. I'm not that thrilled about it.

If BMW Motorrad uses car designers, I hope it's not the ones that designed the i3.

We know we can count on you to make MMM happen, Kevin.
I'm afraid the HMS Victory is more macho. It carried 104 cannon, vice the 44 cannon carried by the USS Constitution.
Winning the Battle of Trafalgar is a nice feather in the cap as well.
-Brittish ships with bold names have not always fared so well. The HMS Invincible was the first of fourteen Anglo ships sank at the Battle of Jutland in WWI.

Jeremiah Johnson lived in a log cabin. Pretty macho.

Ditto on the Stone cabin. Better protection from the big bad wolf.
