Well it would not have been such a big deal except that i have extremely bad eye sight (funny for a video guy i know) and i do very badly with their little eye machines. I was freaked out that if i failed that they could have decided to take my car licensee as well. So i was risking a lot for the upgrade. But the testing lady took pity on me and when i couldn't see the lines she went the whole other direction. Since i was valid she called it good AND renewed both for the full amount so i actually gained 4 years on the car licensee.

A couple of updates on my scoots.
First is that this weekend is the one month anniversary of the "Dragon" and i should trip the 1,000 mile mark, still running like a dream.
And the second and beat news is that i got to do a short club ride today with my old Rockin' Triton leading us the whole way. While i was in France, my buddy David (scootinbow on here) went out and traded his scoot for my Triton. How cool is that! Back in the family and in good hands!
Thanks David!

A month already? It doesn't seem like it's been a month, but the odometer sure looks like it has been!
Glad to hear the Triton got a good home. ;D

Well it took me a little longer to roll over the second 1K, about a month and a half but i passed 2000 miles today. ;D Time to get back to modding!!! Started a little body work, removing more of the cheesy stickers. Also started paint work on the exhaust shin guard. Gonna make it a bit of a smoked silver / black look. Just needs to hold me till I order a new pipe.  The first real mod should arrive this week in the way of Pilot SCs again like i was running on my Triton. loved those tires... |

Yup. I ran out of light today but will get some pics tomorrow. I'm really digging it with the graphics off. The design quality shows up much more.

Ok first shot is how it looked stock. Note the comic book graphics and the silver shin guard on the pipe.  Phase one all graphics removed and pipe guard painted.  I did a black base and then "smoked" it with silver and green, then a couple of clear-coats.  Next up just got notice that my Michelin Pilot SC tires are in at the dealer. I'll get those installed tomorrow or thursday. |

Nice job. I think it needs green shocks now.

Nice job. I think it needs green shocks now. Exactly! Can a shock be dis-assembled for painting? |

Got the Pilots on this morning. They should run in at about 100 miles but i was carrying way more speed through the very first corner out of the dealer. Stock tires are no comparison to the SCs. I really can't overstate how much i recommend them.  Under fende is off for painting. ;D |
