Yeah, it is turning out alright, but we are going to need a new name.

Touche.

The Mad max is still ticking. She is red now, little less rugged looking.
I haven't even started my car since the 15th of march (this is day 9)

I have thoroughly enjoyed the switch the kymco zx. It seems like they took the Honda engine and just beefed it up. Had it up close to 50 before, but with a new belt it runs to 45 regularly. The big difference is the handleing. 12" rear that is almost twice as wide. Combined with the met front tire, completely different ride than the 93 tires and engine than we started with.

My biggest problem now is that I am getting the hankering to upgrade to a bigger scoot. More money, insurance, motorcycle endorsement - it all adds up.
