I picked it up tonight, paid a crisp C-note. Wifey is not happy that I dragged another thing home.

This is my first non-running vehicle purchase. I’m excited to get it going. It has 1600 miles, and was last registered in 2009. Hopefully fresh gas/battery and a carb cleaning does the trick.

Not that I really need one, but a clean complete Honda Elite 80 for $150 would be fun to try and get going. It’s only a few miles away, so I’m going to check it out this weekend. I’ll probably offer a c-note. My buddy has proven that I can get around the no title thing by registering it in Vermont.

$80.

Be prepared to walk.

Unless you drove there.

Awesome, I’m up here in Nova Scotia, you can just ride it up to me and walk back! I’ll give you $100 Canadibucks, so like....$0.04 US.

I don’t have a passport, so you’ll have to come here and ride it back. I live near the airport, so I’ll pick you up there. I would totally sell it to you for enough maplebucks to break even.

I think I may have to buy this one now, and give it that treatment. It’s even got a pop-up headlamp!

Not sure if such a small scooter would be good for such a long journey... :P

Probably not, but I could definitely find you a Super 8 150.

I wish they were more common here! I’ve never even seen one in person...

They’re lookers, that’s for sure. Can’t wait to get mine fixed. I’ve been riding my buddy’s 50cc Zuma, but I miss that 150cc’s of screaming fury.

That one is kinda far away. My buddy who lives a lot closer may go grab it though.

The exhaust cracked in half. My buddy tried to weld it back together, but in doing so things moved around enough that it no longer fits. Gotta buy a new one.

I like where you’re head is at, but no.
