Hi gang!
Been off the web for quite awhile, writing this from my friend's computer. Rusty and I are doing fine.
Rusty's coming up on 55k miles still running like a Swiss watch. Just mounted new shocks, 3/4" longer than stock and a new set of tires. The longer shocks have made a vast improvement in the handling. I take back almost everything bad I ever said about the Special's handling, gone is the "strange" low speed steering and the thing tips into corners so easily now that it feels a couple of hundred pounds lighter. Steering is dead neutral at all attitudes. The muffs rusted off at the collectors, a little muffler tape, hi-temp RTV and hose clamps fixed that little problem, at least for now.
My open invite to show forum members around beautiful Lake County is still open, just call me first...(707)277-7912. Talked to Uncle Spot a few days ago on the phone. Hey mro, give me a ring.

Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
