Scooter nearly mobile...

After a night of work by myself and trippedbreaker, the R-20 is nearly ready to ride again. A new controller, throttle, DC-DC converter, and shocks were installed, and the motor is responding to throttle. Installing the new controller require physically re-constructing the controller mount, because the new one they sent is two inches longer than the old one. Now I just need to figure out how much of the body, which I'd like to re-paint, should go back on. In the short-term, I may decide to simply try to airbrush over the imperfections rather than re-doing the entire bike in hot metallic pink, which was my original plan.

Lack of Authorization Leads to Deaths

I did *not* authorize a sub-freezing temperature change tonight, and as a result of it's occurrence, an unspecified number of people will be randomly killed. I had better things to do tonight than single-handedly put up a hoop house I just took down a few days ago in freezing temperatures.
