Damage Control & Future Plans

It looks like there was some minor damage to the scooter. The cover was ripped in several places--enough to make me leave it until the ice thaws off. I figure if I try to remove it now, it might shred the cover. I will have to get another cover because that one withstood everything but a tree falling on it!

I have not been riding the past many weeks of cold, snow, and ice filled weather. I will likely have to pull the carb and clean it all out. That is almost a given.

My plan is to purchase a new scoot in a month or so. I'm going to look for a used Yamaha Majesty, Suzuki Burgman, or Kymco Xciting. Something in the 400cc or 500cc range. Next stop? That will be the Iron Butt Association Bun Burner 1500. You cover 1500 documented miles in 36 hours, turn in all your paperwork and proof, then they give you an award and certification pack. My first thought is visiting a little bit of Canada.
