Merry War on Christmas

Hey guys.

Well, there has been a lot of activity around here lately, and not any of it has produced a running scooter. Yes I finished my custom DIY paintjob, and I'm totally happy with it.

BUT...
when I was replacing the damaged headlight casing I discovered a badly taped green electrical wire. This wire does an important job, as all the wires do, but it was so damaged that fixing it myself didn't seem to be an option. (even though I tried)

So it is with a heavy heart that I am handing my baby over to Scooter Parts Direct, and the capable hands of Kirk and Dañell. They will hopefully be able to install a new set of wires in my scooter, which it is in great need of. This is called "installing a new wiring harness." It sounds like a lot of fun, hopefully it doesn't sound very expensive.

I am trying not to be depressed about the whole thing. This bad wire is something I couldn't have known about until I removed the headlight case. It is also something that should be replaced and not rigged. This was going to happen sooner or later, better now than when it's sunny and warm outside yeah?

Also, a big thanks to Dañell, who answered all my vague and desperate emails with patience and knowledge. Even up until the point where Kirk told her to tell me to: "Stop messing with it." It was good advice.

So we're shutting down until after Christmas. We'll be traveling to the frozen tundra of Delaware. Have a Merry War on Christmas.
