Forbes

You can look at things in the way of how you effect other people. People see you keeping a positive attitude, getting back to work, and moving ahead. Seeing you moving ahead in the face of adversity is inspiring to me and should be to other people; and this effects others in a positive way and gives those people also facing adversity confidence to move forward themselves. Almost like that movie "Its a Wondeful Life" where you just don't realize how you affect others in a positive way. Its a nice gift to have and when we read about your plight, its makes me and possibly others put things into perspective and realize that we can overcome adversity and forge ahead also. So in that aspect, you have affected others in a positive way even though you may not realize it.

You story has been very inspiring.

Forbes, you are a special person that just keeps on going and who defines the phrase not giving up. I'm under 2yrs post heart surgery right now and plugging a long at 138 lbs and thankful for so many things.

I'm sure you may have already come across Mark Inglis a double amputee that climbed Mt Everest. I watch Everest documentaries and have seen him in a few especially in the Everest:Beyond the Limit series.

Here he is a talking about one thing thats free in life and thats a positive attitude.



Its real nice to hear you are getting improvements with your prosthesis.

Sometime I feel things although bad sometimes happen for a reason and set us on a different path. After surgery, I couldn't ride my scooter for a year, maybe something would have happened who knows. When I had my neck injury, my chiropractor noticed I had a melanoma on my back that a previous doctor said was benign and that saved my life. I believe God works in mysterious ways.

Wish you the best and we can all learn from you.

dwbailey what speed are you presently getting on flat surface? can you mount a GPS and get a speed reading I see your speedometer is not working.

Smooth boss if yours is presently shouldered is essential.

I'd recommend the Malossi Purple contra spring to increase hill climbing speed.

7 gm Dr Pully Sliders would be a good start.

Make sure air in tires is to specs. I put mine a little bit over.

Don't want to sound judgmental but are you a big person (weight on these 49cc matters a lot)? My tool kit alone loses me 1-2 MPH.

Good luck finding any parts let alone discount.

Smart folks don't break their keys, hence no need for a 3rd, 4th or 5th key. Capiche paisano?.................better go make sure my spare is where I think it is.

Ahh, leave the key in the side of the Super 8 and brush against it with your leg while putting it up on the stand. Thats how my key broke.

Let me ask.

Is your oil pump cam all the way open or at max 1mm over full open at full throttle.

Update: Going to meet with "adjuster" this AM. I think he is already leaning towards total loss. Will advise.

Don't forget to remind him of the Picasso that was in the storage compartment!!!!!
