A lot of rain yesterday with 25-30 mph winds. No rain today but the wind continues. Sunday will be a slow day with our ABATE chapter meeting in the morning and family in the afternoon.

Youch Terri, bummer on the plastic. You didn't fall and get hurt did you? no, ty, im fine
just dont know how that piece of plastic got broke. i limped down the road, and checked out tire, forks, everything else and nothing seems wrong, just cracked the plastic right where the turn signal is, so it was hanging
hope Greg at mainely is parting out some scoots with this type of plastic

Replacement plastics are one thing that seems to be over priced in these Chinese scooters. You can use some epoxy to glue things back together.

You might want to hang on to her, The speed you get out of your scooter might be hard to get from another stock 150.

Pull the engine, sell the rest of the parts, buy a used scoot, replace the engine. Just an idea.

by the way TerriLee...what did you think of the 3 Stooges movie? I have some friends who loved it and others that hated it.
