Country:  | Filled my scooter up with gas, tonight. Shell High Test @ $3.76 point 9
per gallon. She took 1.108 gals [cost $4.18 for 2 1/2 weeks driving]. I put
101 miles on it and it works out to 91.155 MPG with the new carburetor.
Sure beats $25.00 per week in my truck....

Country: | Nice Charles - be careful. People tool around Jacksonville all the time in those things. It is dangerous when you're going 20mph below the speed limit.

Actually I am not 20 MPH below the speed limit. My scooter will do 40,
with ease. Most of the roads I drive have 25 to 45 MPH speed limits. I
am going to have the carb re-jetted from a 54 to a 62 jet. That should
give me 10 MPH more. It's not legal to ride them on "limited access high-
ways" (Most interstates), so I stay on the streets.
I'm lovein' the fuel savings......

Country: | Bought a new helmet today (Matt308 take notice). This one is white,
for better to be seen visibility, and has a full face shield. Was tired of
picking bugs out of my teeth with the other one !
In pic # 2, yes that is my front yard.

Country: | Very nice, Mr. C. Would have preferred to see you in a full face helmet, but nice looking nonetheless.
Oh. And your neighborhood looks beautiful.

Oh. And your neighborhood looks beautiful. | Matt: What do you consider a full face helmet ? This one has a full
face clear plastic shield.
Thanks for the kind words. Re the neighborhood.

And yes i agree with Matt a full face is alot better protection, if the strap slips it still wont allow your face to make contact, you dont want to end up like Lucky do you?

Country: | Hey Mr. C, I found some inspiration in the Fieseler Fi-103 for what I think would be your perfect commuting vehicle. Perhaps the pulse detonation engine is not too neighborhood friendly, but at least they would know when you were coming and going. Every time you would leave the house it would sound like a 170db fart. YouTube - Pulse jet go kart for sale!!!! -SOLD
