90 miles on the helix today (Others) looking for opportunity out the back road.
Hot and dry !

I did know I was headed into an area that had burned a week ago...
Even then, it was a real surprise when the gray asphalt turned pink before me !  Really weird !
The borate bombers have a lot of colorant in the loads they drop.  It stays a while before blending in...

I want to build a Tiny House, for small scooters !

We would like to buy a small parcel or plot of land in the USA, SWest or PacificNWest where that is possible.

It would be best if there are utilities to the property, to a barn (for scooters), pump house, or work shop.

House rent and taxes here are eating me alive !  Time to move on down the trail !

It would be good to be within 30 mins to an hour from real city services.

Any ideas ?  Please send me a PM here on the forum.
Tnx

I am a price shopper.  Can't resist a deal.
Or a challenge !

Pic 1 shows the bms federal 50 as I got it.  I do have the plastic panels.
Pic 2 shows part of why I got it...
Near as I can tell it is a Zhongneng !  :-)
Which translates to GY6 engine parts.
It is a 2012 model that was won by a lucky fellow in a PR contest.
He managed to ride it 1 whole mile before it failed to re-start.
It has been hacked at by any number of mechanics over the last 5 years and been a burden, in storage.

No real clues why it will not start and run.
Should be fun to play with for a while !

As you know, luck sorta runs different for some people...

How much storage/cargo space do you have on your scooter ?
Mine is not so much...

I discovered this gem when reviewing news a few minutes ago...

Years back, riding my mc through 'Our Town', a truck/trailer hauling beer bounced through an intersection too quickly for the water drainage swales perpendicular to his direction of travel which were too serious for his speed...
Bam! Bam ! It kinda bounced through the intersection, an unlatched roll-up door, did, and a rather large amount of cases of six packs dumped out in the busy roadway.
The driver stopped quickly to recover, and since this happened immediately before me, I thought I should do my Citizen's duty and assist.
As I hurried to see how many I could hang off my mc he looked over at me... I said, "We can't leave this in the street!"

I dunno if it was worth it.  After a few minutes I left with my booty, soaked and reeking from the spewing cans, now on a mission to find a nearby friend with a fridge !   ...and a hose !!!

Years prior, a friend seemed to have a significant stock of Seagram's 7...
He told a tale of an early AM runaway truck and a bucket loader had been brought in to cart the mess a short distance to some property where it was quickly buried in a shallow pit.
His friend happened to observe the cache from his nearby home and they would occasionally dig into the small mound to salvage what they could.

What entertainment do you see in your scooter travels ?

The warning sign said, 'Road Subject to Flooding' so I Had To take it...  Since we've been under serious drought conditions for 5 years.

Now that I have successfully made it home, it's disappointing to see the T-post growing out of my wind screen and a few other probs with the pic.

Might need to study up a bit on taking better quality pictures...
I will try to do better on B52.

A very slight chamfer, applied with a file, to the leading edge of brake shoes and disk brake pads may ease a little of the squeaking.
Some disk brake pad sets come with a liquid rubber type goo for application to the backside of the pads to dampen noise...

Machinery really should not squeak, though.  It's probably a sign that inspection is warranted and possible application of lubricant.
