Hi all
I'm new to the scooter scene. I've worked with mopeds (puch maxi et al) did the friction drive thing for a bit and did the chineese bicycle engine kit stuff for a while. I lost interest in the bicycle kit because I didn't care for the manual clutch, I never felt safe on it and I took it as about as far as I could without great expense and at the end of all that I'd still have a shaky engine on a bicycle. I traded it for a junky tao tao because I've come to realize I like wrenching as much as I like riding and I heard I'll be wrenching quite a bit with a tao tao.

So anyway, hi. I'll have lots of dumb questions
