It's the same concept I applied to the ZX by glassing all the body panels into "units".
It gets real old, real fst, dealing with all the fragile fasteners, and separate puzzle pieces.

The same concept can be applied to all of our scooters but I guess only Big Mac, and Stig can afford to have it done for them.
The rest of us have to use zip ties, and bread flour glue.

Maybe I can afford it maybe I can't.  ;)
Stig can tell you if I can as he seems to be overly concerned about my financial situation. ::)

I'll loan you a few ducketts if you need to buy parts, bread, dog food , ect...

If I had money I'd lend you some of that instead.

Lol thanks my friend.
I'll be ok but from his earlier post it seems Stig lives close to the financial edge and may need your offer of assistance. Poor Everyman gotta get by with a new maxi-scoot and coffee out every morning. Must be hell living like that......

I watched a friend of mine tell an employee "I can't afford to lend you money for your electric bill, I just paid you on Friday, and it came out of my weekend money."

We got in his truck, drove to Panama City, and he promptly put a bag containing 180,000.00 on the sales manegers desk for a 24' Whaler Dauntless.

Maybe I get it but maybe I don't always approve. The only reason he had that kind of loot is because of the fella that works for him. Life's a bitch.

Just terminated a disturbing discussion with my wife where she got all ticked off for me asking questions which were only posed so I could figure out what she was "driving at". Guess I need to be more careful what I say to people 'cause some are really "touchy".......

and I get it also but there are others that paid the employees bill, set up college funds, provided the thanksgiving turkey etc. fact is not all employers suck the blood from their workforce. I know that from experience.

No good reason why more scoots can't open like the Hoysung. It's a matter of a few bucks up front and countless hours spent latter.
