After I adjusted the valves on my scooter, I figured I'd take it for a little ride. Saturday we had lots of rain so there had been alot of street flooding the day before.

You asked a question on the video do you think someone could ride across vitenam on a chinese scooter? You said its about 1,000 miles. I like to change my oil at 700 miles on my 250cc because its very black from the one piston work and high speeds. It could be done but you would be pushing future use of the engine IMHO.

Nice riding, 1000 miles isnt that great of a feat in my opinion. Like you said just make sure its rolling good and have your parts and tools with you. We ride 100 mile+ trips all the time and just let her rest a little and dont keep it floored.

Also you can change your oil in a big gulp cup from 7 eleven, kind of nice.

Sounds like the bike is running pretty smooth. Do you talk to yourself like that all time when you ride? I know I do...  |

I know I do... not really, but I have kind of a youtube blog so the talking is for the vblog. =) The scooter is running really well. Nice and smooth. I can't believe how big a difference the valve adjustment made. Now if I could just find out where that annoying creek is comming from. The scooter has always had a plastic on plastic squeak in the front somewhere. |

I use the phrase "come on seriously you jerk" a lot. Once I'm out of town I like to sing. One of my favorites is random Spanish phrases that I know in an Operatic style. Of course that needs to be done loudly. When I'm not singing I wonder out loud I wonder about a lot of things so I wonder verbally it helps me to remember what I was wondering so I can look it up or try it out.
