Who is thankful for this forum?

...man, my local KYMCO dealer went out of business, about 6 months after I bought my Agility 50, and there I was...knowing absolutely NOTHING about how to service my scooter...my only form of transportation...there are no scooter repair shops around here..
...It's probably just as well that they went under, as they sold me the wrong spark plug, headlamp and told me that the valve clearance should be .004"...they also told me that I could not get a service manual, charged me well over a hundred dollars to grind my cdi...didn't change my jet to an 85 as they should have during the de-restriction..
..so I went on scootin' every day, without a care in the world, so it seemed. That was until one day I was scootin’ out for some breakfast, when my drive belt broke…Fortunately, I was only about a mile from home…SO I order me a belt, and a variator upgrade…there are some pics in this forum of my original variator, or what was left of it…lol..
..still I knew pretty much nothing about how I was going to get this all set up once I got my new parts…So it happened that I ran across this forum…there seemed to be some really awesome information in here, and WOW!!...ain’t there REALLY??!!
..I was so excited for finding this place..It lead me to a downloadable service manual and it seemed all my questions were just a few keystrokes away from being answered…I posted and posted…night and day…so much that I became a “Full Member†in less than 2 weeks…This excited me even more, and I guess I must have ruffled a few feathers along the way with all my zest and zeal…
..but, that’s OK..because I’ve met some really cool and knowledgeable ppl here…This forum has been a God-send to me…props to Turnbuckle for putting this thing together, and thanks to everyone that has offered to share their experiences with me..
peace
