i took my buddy kevin with my trailer to get him his first scooter EVER.

he had a moped in high school.

this bike is a 1966 sears blue badge special that was endorsed by a local scooter mechanic legend by the name of 'gator'.

he insist that we keep the motor original.

we will respect his wishes.

kevin and i will try to start the bike tomorow.

Can't say your friend looks real happy about his first scooter.

I like bad puns.....that one was a bit much even for me.....

Was it an impulse buy or did he have to chew his cu on it for a bit?

Cow paint job? Utterly silly. (oooo.....I have an idea if he wants to paint the spare tire cover....)

Does he ride, it can be dangerous....make sure he knows what is at steak.

Sorry, I'll stop milking it now.

i'll answer that as soon as i can get up off the floor after laughingsohard ithought i was gonna throwup

killo and nigel are sick funny

kevin is moderatley thrilled at the purchase.

i told him if he had any buyers remorse to not share it with me

we were in la traffic for 4 hours running around before we landed at bar italia.

we will both have a smile once we get it running.

we already got a b+ tank,new fuel tap,new plug,compression is good,clean carb in the morn and kick it.

GATOR is cool 8)

i remember him from years ago.

he wrenches at 'bar italia' and no mohawk but sports a variation of shaved/mad max look.

you'd probably be safe to start at 80~84 and work your way down from there.

more than likely, you'll need to change out your idle, though.
