A Milestone of Sorts

Something of a milestone. Granted, I've burned out two engines with my cross-country travels but it's been a fun ride!

CONGRATS!

So what happens when the engine wears out?

The scoot tends to just sit there, in a funk of sorts....

But you can have another engine put in to replace it. My first one threw a rod but I got a used one after that. It wore out and I got another used one with a stern "don't drive it WOT so much" from the mechanic!

Don't feel bad. I just replaced my crank at 10,000 miles. Also trashed most of the bearings in the gearbox before that. I wore out an ncy clutch in 1500 miles. Luckily I ride mostly in town so not much high speed riding for me. Its the price I pay to have a fun bike.

Oh, I don't feel bad about it at all! I have had a lot of fun on my Buddy and plan to have a lot more!
