I spent the day taking apart the front end of a Piaggio BV250 and taking the top end off a lawnmower engine. Found a blown cylinder head gasket and what appear to be burnt valves on the mower. Also need a new spark plug, though that's the least of it.

At least the Piaggio only has a worn out steering stem bearing...and a busted floorboard...and a few other little issues.

Since forever.
Drag racing is the ideal sport for women, the course is only a quarter of a mile long and there are no corners to negotiate.
Keeps it nice and easy for them.

I took both bikes out of the basement for the day, and then I test rode them for the first time since the accident in September. I am happy to report that they run, and look, fine. I think I might just take them for another ride today. :-) :-D

Good for you, Mel! Oddly enough, we got out on the Forza yesterday and I took it to a student today. +50° F yesterday and today - hugely weird for The end of February in New England.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!
