First Test Run With Scoot

Ryan and Scoot
Before we head back to Canada Ryan has been really hoping to get our 'Scoot' out for a test run to make sure that the beast beauty actually can start. The thing was stripped, cleaned, reassembled, rewired and now sports a brand new carburetor. Quite the makeover all ready for such a short time in the family.
The first attempt a few days ago was short lived. The bike, which sounded like a bubble machine, only made it to the end of the street before Ryan turned her around and walked her home. Today however success was had. Ryan took her for a spin, then Brayden, then Sydney and then even I got to take her for a ride around block!
Of course she still needs a little fine tuning before Ryan begins with the remodel but the ideas are already starting to flow together and these visions suddenly seem in his grasp now that I know she really can move! I always had faith in Ryan's skills but she really did look like a piece of, um, junk fine machinery *clears throat*.
