Welcome again from NC on the western side.
I'm getting my first impression that these guys are the best of the best in here.
From one newbie to the forum to another, I think we'll enjoy it and learn a lot here.
Congrats on the new scoot.. Forward controls! Fun!!!
Grab a wrench and some parts and you're halfway there.

Hey cran how ya doin? Are you coming to town Saturday for the big Marine Corps Toys for Tots run? If you are it starts at Mid-States Ford on Hickman and registration is from 11:30 to 1:00. If you bring a toy or five bucks you get a shirt. Hey Mikeisglidin I lived in the great state of N.C. for four years!

Glad you found us...post pics of your scoot when you get the chance.

I'll bet it was interesting having that name your whole life. I see the mod bug has you as well...good luck with that, I come down with the mod bug about once a month!

Hey.. I might do that. I'm going to House of Horsepower to get a dyno and might just head out that way to see how the scoot runs.
