Re: Markers
The Elite is indeed functioning as the Scooter Gnomes of Hamamatsu intended it to do. Thanks ONCE AGAIN to John for such friendly and sociable wrenching in his Scooterdrome, perched high above the North Saskatch! --- btw, does anyone else feel like John might be holding an awful lot of markers? One...

I am about 100 dollars away from saying forget the whole thing and selling it as there are only about 12 more weeks left for this season anyway. Honestly, if I want to produce oil and pollute the environment I can self regulate. If i want to drive a vehicle from another province there are all these ...

I have the OPI manual for motorcycles and there is no mention of how it has to be repaired. However, neither is there any mention that a repair is acceptable. It just says: cracked frame = fail, period. Count yourself lucky they are considering accepting a repaired frame. As a botched weld repair c...

K so the crack is small about 50 mm at max. I have some pictures I want to post but do i need to have them uploaded to another site first? I spoke with the guy at the shop and he said one thing which irritated me greatly. He said the welding has to be done by certified welding journey man. Which...i...

If the frame is mild steel, we could (once we see some pictures) MIG weld it. If the frame is Cro-Moly or high carbon steel, TIG is best. SMAW (stick welding) might be an option, if a TIG welder is unavailable and the material is thick enough. I've done a little bit of welding over the years and co...

Re: Vespa ripoff?
Hi guys and gals; Well here I am in BC living happily and missing seeing you guys and driving away (I am very antisocial that way). Life is fine and two months ago I bought a Vespa from VespaMetro in Vancouver and paid for it with my mastercard. So far so good. I have been emailing back and forth f...

Anyone have or know of a good cheap welder?
So I got a call back from the out of province inspection people and there is a crack in the frame. The crack is small and mostly of a cosmetic nature but it is sufficient that they must ding me to fix it. Sadly, they don't want to do it as well i guess they are busy enough. So as I am not from here ...
