Woo-Hoo! I did it, registered, plated and ready to hit the streets. And WSP didn't charge me a dime to have the VIN inspected! Save $65 on that. Just need a better scooter helmet, my Scorpion EXO400 is a bit too hot to wear.

I'm going scootin'! Later!

Please post a video of it in action so we can see the bike leaning in a corner, and the sound of the exhaust/engine.

I don't have a video camera, but I might be able to get my wife to make a video for me.

On another note, just took the old girl for a ride. The Gyro, not the wife. rode up to the local Kinkos to fax a receipt to the boss. Smooth sailing! got it to 33, which seems to be topped out. That's with my 6' 2"-240 on it. Do I look funny on it? Yeah. Do I care? No. It did quit on me, Doh! Forgot to turn on the petcock again! Cranked it a bit an it fired back up. I need a sticky note or a sticker to put under the ignition switch that reads "Petcock, Dummy!"

Anyways, a fun ride. Need a half helmet, it's hot here now.

Thanks for all the input, advice and suggestions.

Now, on to the Spree. Where's that paypal card at?...

I'm sure you all seen my Gyro up for sale, but with Mousewheels help, I think I have the problem figured out. I disconnected the bystarter and now it seems to be running fine. I will have to wait for a better day, which here will be Thursday or Friday before I will be home to check it out and hit the road.

Not sure it's for sale anymore.
