well, the service people got the scoot done on time and as i stated, cost nothing. turns out the leak was higher than i thought and the oil just travelled down and back to the rear tires. they replaced the bolts/seals and put more sealant on the area, put the 250 on the dyno to replicate highway speed and all seems well. i have no leaks and the rear tire just has brake dust on it, yea! anyway, finding that more people are getting interested in the scooters for transpo to work and errands. if i could find a way for the media to showcase me on a weekly basis for gas consumption, riding safely and getting more people out on the streets of phoenix on a scooter that would be great. or even better, get some of the local companies, hospitals anywhere there are lots of people working at the same location and run a scooter clinic/class with the help of some scooter shops. any thoughts? later.
