OK,Here goes...I got an email from theguy that sold me the belt on eBay. the tracking# was correct. he said he got a call from the post master that said package undeliverable. So I went to P.O. and picked the belt up myself. The guy said he included an extra belt at his expense, And he was true to his word. There is indeed a 2nd belt. So I walked all day to get out of town to where I could hitch hike back to the bike. I got to the Parker Dam...Little did I know I would not be allowed to walk the 500 ft. across it! OOOOOOHHH My blood was BOILING at this point TSA is now in charge! They have a gaurd at both ends of the damn dam, DAMMIT! I told this idiot that my bike was on the other side. Well, You ain't walkin' across this dam. Stand there for 2 1/2 hours trying to get a ride (just 500 ft.) A nice fellow named Mike stopped and took me to my bike, Helped put the belt on. Just to find the weights are outta whack Then He loaded up the bike and dropped me off at the shop in Parker. at 11:00 PM. He went 45 miles and 2 hours out of his way to help me. He just could not believe that I had so much trouble tying to get going, And would not leave me out in the middle of nowhere at night. BIKE IS FIXED, I AM BACK ON THE ROAD BLESS EVERYONE that helped me on this crazy trip!

So sorry you have had trouble with your ride. I was really stressed when I had trouble with the dipstick and had to wait overnight at a hotel for the part. But at least I was in a town and my scoot was still running. I bless all the people who helped me at different times on my trip.
