Will this cause a divorce? :shock: I lucked out with the Elites and SHE is hooked. She may not take to me starting another project.
Honestly, i dont know. :?

I love my elite, but after getting into mopeds she is starting to sit more and more while i use my mopeds to blast thru town.

I really think it all depends on where you live, and what your riding style is.
Longer rides at higher speeds, the elite wins hands down.
but just cruising around a city or town. Mopeds are fun as *.

I live in the middle of no where, so i need the elite to get places. But if im just cruising around town or going a short distance, i take a moped.

As for what you will do, you will have to find out.

I need to go buy some wire and hard wire it.

The wiring on it now is all messed up and redneck. I need to fix it soon.

Dac, I was joking about the divorce. Actually, last night my wife revealed some emotions I didn't realize. When we have Sunday Dinner with family, the gathering is not over until my son and son in law jump on the scoots and go on a short buzz. My wife gets a kick out of it and is thrilled with this new project I'm buying and wants me to bid it up on a wreck I'm looking at. She envisions the carport being full of scooters for the whole family.

She's the one wanting to do a small rally tour. Bottom line is, I think she's more excited about these little scooters than I am, and that's saying a lot. Naturally, this is going to challenge my learning curve, as it already has, and my pocketbook. The Helix goes on the market as soon we get back from vacation so I can finance more 49ers.

Eat your heart out guys. Now let me make you really jealous. Our 40th Anniversary marked the beginning of a second honeymoon. Been going on for two years now. Our kids keep saying, "get a room!"

So yeah, this scoot thing is great.
