OK, this was one of the best 2 week vacations ever!! The first day we did the twistys on US Route 219 thru Pa with trailer in tow. With the exception of a slight power loss going uphill I had to keep looking behind to make sure it was still behind me. We stayed overnight near Johnstown Pa. Day 2 took us thru Pa, Md, W Va and Va heading for the Shenandoah Trail. Had an almost dead battery that day due to the headlight switch being halfway between low and high. Much later, and several times more in that position, found out it was due to hanging my helmet on the handlebars. More twisty turney roads! Day 3 had us thru Shenandoah onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. We stopped at Luray Cavern for a while in between. At the end of the day we took this ultra twisty road off of the Blue Ridge Parkway that was an absolute challenge! Never got higher than 3rd gear! Finally ended up in a hotel near Lynchburg Va where we drank some Blueberry beer that got us $hitfaced on our a$$es! Ordered pizza and ate it on the curb in front of the lobby. Pizza was delivered to us as we waited! Day 4 hard drive to get to the M&E but we made it after even more twisty roads! I have company coming right now, so later I will continue with the adventures of Zorro (Mother's scoot) and Goldie (mine) with descriptions of "Scotty Tours"...

Great news!!! I know the feeling, and Praise the Lord daily for my job especially at my age!

...Keep in mind, thyere IS a difference between "Dropping" and gently setting it down on the crash bars at a stop. Just paid my "Stupid" fine for dropping the scoot doing something stupid twice. 1. Do NOT stop sideways on an incline, and 2. Ventures are NOT designed to be a dirt bike!

Wiring harnesses do periodically appear on ebay, so it may be a good way to go timewise as opposed to tearing into your old butchered one... -
Yes, I was just having the same problem paying my "Stupidity"fine... I'll try the side link.
-
WOW!! Praise the Lord that you are able to tell us about it and that it wasn't worse than that! Broken ribs are no joy, I have firsthand knowledge of that! We went thru a little rain yesterday in Pa but no misfortunes. I'll pray that you will be back riding soon. Just relax and heal for now...

I have one side of the chrome protection pieces but not the other. I used plastic chrome adhesive puieces from Pep Boys to make my protector/dress up pieces...

Hey Dan, great to finally meet up with you in person. You sure have a nice looking scoot, and hope you get the rest of the bugs out soon! See you again sometime!

Hey Mini, a big thank you to you and Jeff too!! Of course thanks Rooster, Randy, and everyone who either had something to do with the event or participated in it! Becky and I had the time of our lives!!! Great seeing a few we already met and meeting a whole bunch of new friends as well! Looking forward to AshvilleII if and when it happens.

Glad you are safe and sound, Dan!! It was a lot of fun meeting you and will see you again some time. We aren't leaving until tomorrow. Sure was a great time!!

...And now my feet hurt from walking all around the Sourwood Festival! We saw a bunch of 2nd gens coming back from a ride around noontime.

I had my '83 Honda CX650 get blown off the centerstand once. It too had a cover on it and yes the cover must have made an excellent sail! Glad there wasn't more damage to your scoot!!
-
Good to see you post here, Steve! Yes that is EXACTLY what this site is about, one big happy family! I am very proud to be a member of this site and love every minute of it. There is lots of meets to come to, and nobody cares what you drive or how you spell!! Also, it does help to have a sense of humor around here and don't let the 2nd gen's try to convert you...

Hmmm, the '86 was a Mk2 Brad, and Mother's '86 works normal. Maybe yours was an early '86 or ???
