Not that bad...you have to "check the oil with a dipstick" a few times a days is all and make sure her "headlights" are "clean". The lube job is verrrrrry easy. I could handle that job and will say right now that I would do it for FREE!

That sucks Charlie. Sorry to hear about the tickets and fines. I can't believe it is that loud. Did they catch you when you happen to be on it or just cruising by?

I can't understand how those rice burners pass inspections.If you have a hole in your muffler they will not give you a sticker,go figure.
