Will this be you're first motorcycle? I recommend you buy used and cheap. Odds are you are going to drop your first bike. It happens and most everyone that rides regularly has dropped a bike. You don't want this to happen to a really nice ride. Look at all the styles and what you really want to spend. Then find a used one that costs less than you are willing to spend.

You'll have plenty of time to buy that dream bike later. Right now you should learn how to ride a bike safely. Just Do Not Buy Chinese they have far too many problem in their manufacturing quality control and a large amount of them need to have parts replaced brand new before they'll run reliably. I used one really cheap is a gamble too. The parts are cheap and that's good because the people that buy these have to buy many. If you find a deal that's too good to pass up I hope it's a Tao Tao. They're the best of the lot.

Japanese bikes are the next logical choice. Honda makes some of the best made bikes on the market. But any Japanese made motorcycle will be far more reliable than a Chinese.

Vespa while great to look at and reliable, they're expensive to buy and their parts aren't cheap.

I heartily recommend you put your dreams of that striking retro look on hold for now and buy a used Honda Or a nice also very reliable Kymco for under $2000. It'll get you where you want to go economically while you gain the experience needed to ride safely and if you wreck it. The loss won't be too great.

When you buy your new(to you) bike splurge on a brand new full face helmet and maybe a leather jacket. The jacket get a real one made for riding a motorcycle.

This is great stuff, but you've got to be cautious when applying it. If it's warm when applying it and two sticky parts touch they're stuck. It's not so bad to work with when cool. You don't get to reposition this. When you put it down it's stuck.

The upside about this stuff is it's adhesion is good with great wind resistance. If you use drip edge use the spray primer that's made for it. Use the primer even on the painted drip edge. The primer helps it stick to any metal surface. If your existing roof is painted with the factory finish test a small chunk of the roofing to see if you'll get good adhesion. It's far better to know you've got to prime it before rather than after you put down a few pieces.

Wow, You got quite a deal. I think, There's very little on that bike on the web searching with just the info in the photo. So I'm guessing you didn't get a manual or any receipts. No receipts because it was never ridden much and electric bikes need a minimum of service if you're nice to them.

On the info plate, it'll have the date of manufacture. The battery might look new but unless there are markings on it or a purchase receipt it would be proper to consider the battery as old as the bike. Knowing how old it is will help you prepare for it's inevitable demise. Getting stuck away from home is a bummer. With a gasoline engine you can always just add gas. Electric scooters in many instances need overnight to fully recharge. Knowing the range and never pushing your luck with that is wise. Do you have a friend with a pick up truck? Consider a full charge range test.

Elusively · 2012-02-06T18:13:28.046528+00:00

That is great. You didn't buy the battery so you don't know how old it is. You could look at the battery itself, sometimes they'll mark the date it was installed like they're supposed to. Did you get anything from the original owner like a manual or repair receipts?

Elusively · 2012-02-06T18:09:35.680904+00:00

That's good but try not relax too much about that. Remember some of those driving cars want to kill you and you usually can't tell which ones.

Elusively · 2012-02-06T15:17:10.237623+00:00

That's great a new(to you) bike deserves a new helmet. I see so many people neglect this thinking that an old one that was in their uncles garage will do. That's dangerous thinking.

A cable is the way to go. Strip back the casing, so you know the color to connection order. Then just solder it on using heat sinks so you don't cook that chip.

It can't hurt IF you can do a good job with a tailored letter. It might just help your resume get noticed among the crowed. Any edge is a good thing. Try a few and if you're happy with it go for it. If after a half a dozen trys or so and you think they all suck. Use the standard resume cover letter. Trust your instincts on whether or not they are suitable. It's OK to be a little harsh on yourself with this.

BacteriaEP · 2012-02-06T03:50:48.462522-07:00

Bring it in and have them look at it. You should not be riding this until it is repaired. If you don't know what to look for, go to someone who does. Have it towed if necessary, the back of a friends truck is way cheaper.

Go to the Department of Motor vehicles website in your state. Find the bike courses there will be a link, sign up and go. There is just too much to learn by a comment on reddit. Learn on this bike, It doesn't go too fast and with speed is where new riders get into trouble. Be happy with this bike for a season or two. Then you can sell it and move up to more power if you want.

Good price if the battery holds a charge. The batteries last about 3-4 years with heavy use less than that. You've got decide if you want to replace that battery or sell it next year. Be prepared to lose that money on the replacement either way. As it's going to need a new one to sell it or take the price hit because the buyer will have to replace it.

Don't monkey with the speed because it's a lot of extra wear on the bike and it'll kill that old battery. Besides you are going to get a bigger faster bike when you've got some miles in. Use this for what it is for you, a learning tool.

Hopefully This came with an owners manual if it did read it. It'll tell the lubrication schedule. if it didn't try and find one on line in pdf form. The info on the manufactures info plate. Don't know where that is? You haven't looked at this bike enough. If it's a chain drive, I'd lube it every time it gets wet and make sure it's clean and oiled at all times. There should never be any rust on it. Nor should you allow that to happen. You should inspect this bike every time before you ride. A good going over just looking for wear and damage. How are the breaks? tires? wiring? all lamps working? new nicks? You should be intimately aware of the condition of your bike before riding. Do not get into the habit of hoping on and going. This is where really bad accidents start. If there is a problem, before you ride is the time to find it and fix it.

Get yourself a NEW good full face helmet. This is important and your next purchase. But it came with one? You cannot guarantee that that helmet isn't damaged and I doubt it fits well. Don't buy your first one on line either. Go to the bike shop and get fitted. You and those that love you need this protection. They don't want to be stuck spoon feeding an imbecile after your first crash. The odds say you will drop this bike. You need to prepare for that

I do like the video. Though I wish he used my screen name so it could be posted without any issue. It is pretty funny. He is a redditor too and I've released my rights to it so he could and he'd have to cut the credits unless he got releases, but he hasn't done it yet as far as I know.

Turn the water off first. If you are still having problems with this after trying to adjust the stop limit, you can change the cartridge. Or install a rebuild kit depending on the model valve.

They were going to I though, but Page is a bit of a stickler for the sound. If he's not happy with it. They won't release it. It's an art thing and as they're not doing this for the money alone. Releasing something they consider sub par would be a disservice to their fans and a black mark on their legacy. We aren't going to get this unless they feel it's perfect. Or as close as it can be. We just won't get good enough and if they choose not to because they're not happy with it, that's the way it should be.

In the clips of the videos I've seen of that show the sound was awful. Now I'm hoping that their board recordings are as close to perfect as they come. They have to be far superior than what I've seen already. The question is are their recordings good enough for them?

I just did the voice and the rest of the production was filmed and edited around my recorded voice. I just worked off a script. Paddy did an amazing job.
