Well, surprise.

Thanks -- Ivy's photo is at the bottom of the "About" page, now (it may not have been when you first looked, as I wanted to get her permission to post it, first); she's holding a pygmy goat while sitting on the PCX. :)

I see that Ivy has got your goat! I hate it when that happens. :twisted:

Seriously, I hope you have better luck with this scooter and I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say about the PCX.

For those who didn't follow the surprise link above, my attorney pal who wrote the county attorney a nice letter last month... he texted me yesterday afternoon, saying the county is prepared to give me back the Kymco (Bad Penny) in exchange for a release, promising not to sue the county or the towing company for their egregious behavior in this matter.

Wow. Didn't expect that!

Tell 'em they can keep it so they have to keep fixing it!

Are you going to get Bad Penny fixed? When they replaced the head gasket before, did they test to see if the head is warped?

How can the head (and/or jug) not be warped?

If I can find a place to stow it and/or work on it, I will, over time, put Bad Penny back in service. I'll do the work myself, with the help of some friends and some beers. :)

First stop: A competent machinist, to true out those mating surfaces.
