Trafficjamz = I know why you haven't received the headlight housing - I never shipped it! I found it under my desk still packed in a box (I'd put it in the "keep an empty small box in case you need to ship something small" box spot). It'll be going out today. Still waiting on the other parts to come in.

Had a really busy weekend - didn't get the bulb housing out until last night so it won't be to you until tomorrow (Wednesday). Also need to follow-up on the new parts I ordered - can't believe they aren't here yet.

I have all day thursday to work on your scooter.

Any idea when you might want to pick up your scooter?

No rush....I enjoy having it around :smile:

They shipped the parts to my house (didn't get delivered until 5:30pm). I dropped them off at FedEx tonight but they won't get to East Lake until Friday. And schedule looks like it's going to have to be July 23 for pick-up. I guess I can wait another week...

Little yellow scooter is finally out of my garage.

It will be missed.

I have to admit, the stock pipe on a polini bore was a lot nicer than I would have ever imagined.


@ jvince Remember that when you first start the scooter (cold) the choke plunger should be pulled and no throttle should be applied.

Have fun with your new toy. If you ever want to sell it, give me first dibs :thumbwink:

I think you're the first i heard say that. I liked my stock pipe on the contessa, quiet, quick, and for in town riding it did the job :wink:
