That is sad, but possibly the real reason most of us wrench our own stuff. There are very very few that can be trusted, and you usually get screwed when you let your guard down. It takes something like this to remind us all the reason our garages are full of tool boxs, our hands are grease riden most of the time as well. A wonderful reminder why forums like this are up and running keeping us all from getting screwed as often. Let me repeat that statement, A wonderful reminder why forums like this are up and running keeping us all from getting screwed as often.
I like messing with Ray about running out of gas, losing his kickstand , etc. but this kind of stuff pisses me off too. I lack the trust factor when it comes to leaving the scooter and my truck almost anywhere. I had a Ford dealership manager ask me " the other Ray" to take my truck to another dealership when it was under warranty to do warranty work after I blew a gasket

with him in the service bay area.
Again thank you all that really have knowledge of these scooters for helping us all that have less knowledge of them keeping them on the road. Greatly appreciated !
