    Scooters are really adorable... But alas, I'm too clumsy to use one without hurting myself.

    rofl you serious? thats not a scooter anymore. in holland it will go for a motorcycle lol. mine is 49 cc, which is the max allowed when youre 16. i opened it, and theres so much crap inside. the needle of the cillinder which is supposed to close the cillinder is broken so it drowns itself and starts leaking gas. theres no battery for the lights etc, much rust inside, exhaust isnt working properly, much damage to the outside, breaks not working etc etc.... lol, im thinking of selling it again. i ordered a new needle, but i couldnt find other parts for this type: yamaha axis... ill post piccy later...


    I really want a yamaha slider btw, they are the rox and on of the best wheelie scooters :)

    The topic started "grave dug" it because techically, it hadn't been posted in for four days.

    I think the 3 days on a forum with this little of users is a little harsh, a week would be much better..:/

    I have a scooter
    like not one that drives
    one that you push on
    it's been on the side of my house for like 7 years, and it's all rusty and broken.
