Iam new to your forum so its gonna take me a bit to figgure out how this works so please dont let my nonsense bother you. I've been checking out threads and decided first to interduce myself 
I joined a local scooter group called the Grand Rapids Scooter Club. Its was a fairly small forum till fuel's high cost hit everyones pocket book. Michigan is hurting from the Big 3's friends from across the pond. And now Iam forced to use my wrenching skills out on the open market. So with friends @ Da club I became their personal wrench Theres every thing from Vespa's,mopeds,Kymco,Roketa and yes Yamaha's & Hondas I myself own a little 49cc Honda ruckus thats been somewhat moded. So far I've got around 18k on the odm & it been a pretty good scoot so far. So enough about my scoot and now let me tell ya how I ended up here. As the groups wrench 
Iam working on everything on two wheels thats offered @ discount prices which is ok cause hey I dont have a job ( Lost because of corprite downsizing and I was pretty much @ the top of the pay scale ) and Iam raising 2 kids A big ole friendly lab a big assortment of toyz which I really dont wanna get rid of. So now here Iam @ home and the folks @ the group decide to help feed my Family by spreading the word that they know a guy who has a big ass tool box and a large garage who's into anything with a engine. Now mind you I really dont care what people ride as long as its fun and safe for them plain and simple. I've been wrenching on stuff since my ole man gave me my first mini bike and he said "you break it you fix it I'll supervise it " After finding enjoyment outa any means of travel as long as it didnt involve shoe leather. I got me a paper route and bought a sharp little cushman eagle & thats what made me choose the ruck it kinda looked like a somthing from the old memory's of cruzin cross country chasing the local hotties B/4 I got a a car. 
Sorry back to the reason why Iam here. So now Iam tired of my scooter friends getting riped off from the stealerships selling products and not backing them up unless you have a 100 bucks first. So they come to me and ask if I can help and of course I reply "Oh hell yeah I can do that " and I start looking for forums for advice with out all the shoulda got anything but china junk I just need information with out slander & it seems I may have found one 
so for now I'll go back to reading all the old threads posted and go from there. Thanks for reading this and looking forward to chating and posting dumb question's. Mike ,aka cheeztech
