Background: I basically bought it from a friend of a friend who had no intention of working on it, for 25 bucks. Bare in mind it had flat tires, no turn signals, dead battery, and not to mention a messed up engine. 8O I took on the task of fixing all of this and after about $300 and a top-end rebuild (piston and rings) the Spree was up and running!
It lasted me about a year and then finally after riding it down a particularly nice hill, the piston over-heated, melted and scratched up the cylinder. 8O Then came time for another rebuild, and I had to get a new-used cylinder this time to supplement the scratched one. It was fun but after a short time from the second rebuild I got stopped and got a ticket for a few things I did not have that made the scooter illegal.

I have since only rode it up and down my street everynow and then. That is basically my story in a nutshell. In between theres a lot of interesting trips and funny races, but thats all for now.
