You go on the scooter parts site because you need a couple of jets and a clutch cable and the next thing you know you have $200 worth of parts that you didn't know you needed in your shopping cart.

Then when it comes it's in a box the size of a shoebox.

I don't think the tire will fit in a shoebox.

And usually the way for me is I put in the order, then the next day I find my scooter parts list that I lost the day before only to find out a few things or one more thing was forgotten.
