Hello All,
Too many to thank - lest I forget someone.
But, thank you - each of you who messaged me. You folks are champs.
Too cold to service the scoots, which I find relaxing, (not that they needed anything doing) but I did visit the scooter forums some days to give my mind a rest from it all.
4°F for the ride into work last Friday - always afraid this Asian LIKE200i will snap in two on such cold days, but it runs perfectly.
Spring seems to be here this week.

Just some old snaps:











Bless you all.
Tom & family

Great to see those wonderful photos again. I remember you and the family and send up a quick prayer every time I get on my scooter and look at the "Stig" decal from WKreps. Hang in there, buddy, we got your back.

I am glad your okay. Wow, you rode in 4 degree weather on the way to work. Man that's cold for me. I would think I need a car to keep me warm with the heater. I guess I am not as brave as you to ride in 4 degree weather.  I am wearing my Stig sticker decal for you my Kymco brother. Just think the weather will be nice before you know it. Ride on my bro.

Stig, did you do anything special to your Like 200 so it would start and run in such cold conditions? I am moving back to the midwest and want to be able to ride more than just three months in the summer.

No, nothing special. The EFI (fuel injection system) works great in all temps on this scooter. I do have it connected to a battery tender if it is going to be off the road for a week or so and the temps are well below freezing. (due to snow & ice on roads) I do not use any fuel additives since I ride it frequently, year 'round. I use premium ethanol laced gas - non-ethanol gas is not available here.
Do I get cold riding to work when it is 4 degrees Fahrenheit? Yep - just don't care! Too much fun riding.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. So if you're done with yours... i could just pick a little.

He did that about a week ago.

Skad has a huge heart, and really does care for us here. It's the only reason the forum exists. He cares!
