I got a new roller throttle assembly and installed it today on the Bashan Storm. $16. Worth it!

I also removed the cable and gave it a drenching with silicon lube. The thing is so easy to twist and returns smoothly now. Once into it, I adjusted the chain and the levers/controls a little too. I will wait for the cool morning (80s

) for the test drive

EDIT! Test ride revealed easier throttle control. Definitely less friction!

A driveshaft for Mrs. 2LZ 2015 Challenger. The carrier bearings take a s--t and you can't just replace the bearing 2015 and up. Grrrrrr......

Maybe, maybe not.
Going to look at a very used Tao Tao 110 for the grandkids later this afternoon.

Well, it followed me home. Seller was asking $200. I offered $180. He said I was the fifth guy to call about it and the only one that showed up, so I could have it for $150.

In rough shape but looks worse than it is. Needs a starter, seat, and battery to start with. I was hoping the starter just needed some love and contact cleaner but the armature is shorted.

Here it is in all it's ugliness.

It doesn't look too bad. Those grand kids will enjoy it for sure.

It's a sixty footer.

This will allow me to expand mileage between fuel stops. An extra 5 gallons of gas goes a long way.

Ya know, that was a ‘thing’ with Ultramarathon bicyclists* in the eighties that were shooting for records. I was passing a guy and mentioned that it looked like his water bottle was leaking as his pedal was dripping. Bad. It wasn’t water.

*Not me. I preferred to water the roadside vegetation. It was an excuse to get my butt off the saddle for a couple of minutes.

Welp, I`m a Chinarider again... Remember the Longjia Grido scooter I was asking advice on in the other thread? I talked my neighbor out of tuning it as it wouldn`t have made much sense. Today he totally surprised me by GIVING it to me so what I bought today was an insurance and an online transfer of ownership for it
