Not really buying a new toy just thinking of upgrading a current toy! The problem with the scooter is I can't ride it in Florida because I can't get a tag. And I can't ride it to work because it goes too slow. I always wanted a Harley anyway.

I got the thermostat installed in the motorhome. Going to replace the radiator cap and lube the baggage door handles.

Never got a tag for the scooter. I would have had to lie and said it was modified to go faster than stock, so not worth the hassle. Then it was mandatory to have a tag and insurance. If I'm paying for a tag and insurance I might as well get a real bike.
She wanted me to get the Can-Am spider so that she could putt around on it up and down the street but in the end said to get what I want.
I think I broke the code for getting a tag on the Golf Cart. I still need to put seat belts in it. Not going to the beach till spring so I have a little time. Disney don't care about seat belts or a tag on a Golf Cart.

golf carts are different than scooters. I know down here they are allowed on road. I think you have to do the road kit. So is the going to old school that you got to kick or new push button

Got the ditch here at the house looking like a ditch again vs a overgrown mess. after I got it cleaned up spayed it with diesel so may will not have to ro much to it for a while.
Truck is on hold ordered the wrong line for the master cylinder. Down to driveshaft, putting the column in, slave cylinder, wiring backup switch and clutch safety switch.

We went to the bike place today, the Harleys were OK so I ended up buying this instead: https://www.speedzoneoxford.com/defa...inventory&pg=1

We ended up keeping the scooter too.
