I've been using it about a year and it works fine.

I've been helping to fix broken bones all my life. My comment here is we really aren't that good at fixing head injuries. Head injuries are sort of permanent.

There are some who say helmets can make injuries worse. I don't know. I always wear a half helmet.

Taz's reputation speaks for itself. 'nuff said!

Thanks for pointing me to that thread, Gimpy Bear. Has anyone installed this gear yet?

What do y'all think of this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/honda-spree-gear-ratio-upgrade-15-81-Fits-all-years_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem33563e57c0QQitemZ220490258368QQptZOtherQ5fVehicleQ5fParts I'm suspicious not because I have much knowledge, but because it seems too good to be true. If it did h...

Those bikes look just plain sick! Hats off to the builder Talking as a total noob, I don't think my Spree is that hard to maintain. It seems the best maintenance is to run it frequently. If I run it every day or every other day, it starts on the first kick or a second of starter motor. If I let it s...

I dropped my Moby once on a gravel road, bent a pedal and tore my knee open; not fun. All this while going slow and being careful.

We wish you all the best, Cogs.

I TOLD ya'll this would be a fun thread!

Wheelman, your professionalism is always appreciated. I like your 'trust but verify' attitude. I want to ask everyone's opinion on this. Supposing you could get an engine on board (the famous DIO!) that would give you 45mph. I don't think that poor little Spree can hold itself together for long at t...

A good woman loves to feather the nest. A great woman realizes that one of the feathers is her man. I think you're very wise to go with her on the house. The house will come, time will go by, and the scoots will come into that great garage you'll have. After 25 years of marriage we accumulated so ma...

You just wrote my favorite words: "tact and kindness." Thanks for your great work.

I don't know as much about scooters as most of you here, but I know a lot about head injuries. You head is on the list of things we can't fix too well. A ding on the head could leave you stuck with an ugly guy like me changing your diaper and helping you hold your fork. Then you'll spend the rest of...

We're having beautiful weather in Georgia, so it was time for a fun GPS run on my wife's 87 Spree. I got it up to 36 MPH on a long downhill in a subdivision, no traffic. Wheeeee! Then it was time for the stop sign at the bottom of the hill. No problems with long gentle braking, but I had the strong ...

I put my Motobecane and her Spree in the back of our Toyota minivan. Neither one of them leaks so we just stuff some camping gear around them and off we go. If there is no camping gear on our trip, the two scoots just lean against each other, no problems in 4 or 5 trips this way.

I can't remember if I read this perfect mathematical formula here or on Moped Army:

MY SCOOTER (OR MOPED) + MY BEST FRIEND = BAD IDEA

I heard a rumor that using starter fluid on a 2 stroke is risky. I guess it is because your running without any lube for a few seconds. That's not long, but at 6,000 RPM that's a 100 cycles a second.

Any truth to this?
