Re: sad day in scooter land

Any type of punctuation would help. That was way too hard to read, let alone comprehend.

Re: Traffic Light Tactics

Tennessee law allows motos to proceed with caution after waiting a reasonable time. The intersection your pass through however, better be loop-signal controled, or you have no defense... ALSO: The common U_TURN is LEGAL, Except Where Posted.... :urban: Phoenix is like that and for the u-turn, as lo...

Re: Traffic Light Tactics

I ended up sitting at a red light for almost ten minutes because a cop had someone pulled over just before the light on the other side of the intersection. And I was in my car along with about 20 other vehicles behind me.

Re: Honda Elite SE50 (split from build thread)

Thanks for all the input. Since I have to order new shoes, I will also order a clutch spring. I'm thinking either a 1k or 1.5k. Also getting that bigger jet and shave the head.

So, lighter rollers might help takeoff, but will hurt top end.

Re: Honda Elite SE50 (split from build thread)

Today was fun. I put the stock pipe back on and went for a ride. It seemed faster, I was still hitting 37+ on the flat, pushing 47+ on a hill, still at 25+ on a uphill, more up a slight slope. Then I'm losing my front brakes, I'm hearing grinding when I stop. I tear it apart and one of my shoes had ...

Re: Honda Elite SE50 (split from build thread)

So today I turned in the mixture screw an 1/8 of a turn, put all 7.5 gram weights in and took it for a ride. I hold 25 up a hill, 30 up an incline, 36 on the flat, 47 full bore down a hill. Problem being, there are not many flats in my area, well, I guess Seattle in general, so I need more speed or ...

Re: .....it's a flamin' Aero....

Are all people from Tennessee sight challenged? :D

Not that I'm complaining, your use of the extra large font helps me when reading.

But I just realized I was born there at Millington NAS.

They also tell me they can only get up to an 88. I really need to do a plug chop to see if I'm lean or not with the pipe on. I know im boggi...
