Just checked the weather : temps & roads & precipitation look perfect for a nice long coffee village ride tomorrow!
Went out & put key in the LIKE200i for the first start since Dec 19 --- fired right up. (many days below 0°F) Love this scooter!
Tires, oil, lights, signals all look good !

Our church is right on hwy 64 and when a pak of HD's go by we can all hear them. My wife always looks at me to see if I'm smiling. Today I heard that sound, Very unusual for Jan. or Feb., but it got up to around 65 w/sun here today. Go ahead Karl, rub it in. (LOL) Believe me my brother, I'd been on something today if there was any way I could. Late March it's gonna really be tough seeing and hearing all the bikes buzzing around here.

Know what you mean by sheer bolts....carried spares when throwing snow for the county. Once broke the welds on the arm of a big front end loader in the snow. Embarrassing. ...looked like a wounded beast with one side hanging down. Had to drive across town to the repair shop. There was one rebar pinned parking block hiding in a big mount of ice and snow. For 2yrs afterwards my name was "Crash".
