      I like the Way you think you can’t just sit around and expect things to change unfortunately sometimes it sucks but you gotta move on. You gotta push forward. I just did not expect to lose my Scooter my transportation in the process of August I’ve always had this through all the bullshit that I’m going through to get this going but here we are. It is what it is now is the time to push even more. It is such a process to get this damn license such a process but I’m doing it here we go I’ll be back on four and two wheels
      Thank you for sticking around being patient and even checking up joe, I’ll be here With some shorts, and eventually finally the best video I’ve ever made, my license lol

      They revoke my license permanently when I was 18 years old on my first defense they used me as an example, even though I never even had my license at 18 for years and years now it has been hell to say the least but I’ve done it and I found a solution with the scooters and I was so damn happy and then they’re not like I wasn’t getting my license but at least I had a solution. In the meantime now my backs against the wall, I would rather wait and acquire my license to come back to do what I want to do then risk my license again as I’m getting it. sucks.
      Glad to hear you got your license back man gives you a world of freedom. It gives you your ability to transport yourself, which is necessary, especially at the age that we’re at.

      These Chinese scooters come and go with parts, even after upgrading them to a performance part when they hit back to back to back that’s when it hurts

    Hey man I'm sorry to hear about the new law up there and i hope you get your license soon! I just got a r4 with 1900 miles from the original owner for free, i havent had a chance to mess with it at all aside from a 5 minutes i had last night to look it over. He said it has electrical problems so i have a battery on the way now from Walmart. Any tips or tricks of things i should check first? Do you have a build list with part numbers?

    • @davidhofinger4927
      @davidhofinger4927  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The build list would be very long to type out, but you can watch. I have about 20 videos of this bike from when it was bone stock to the point that it is at now and throughout the videos I talk about the parts In a lot of detail, and where I got them from and what they do.
      Make sure that it has compression, Give it a turnover with the Kickstarter to make sure it turns over, From that point on make sure it doesn’t have flat tires and then ride it and see how it feels to See what needs to be fixed or not.
      Make sure all of your headlights tail lights and turn signals work although he said it has electronica problems.
      Make sure the starter starts up if not, you can kickstart it.

    i understand your situation and how sad it is. but look at what you need and what it cost to ride a 50cc ( max ) scooter down here in quebec... you will see you're in a very good situation then.
    need driving school ( 400$ CAD ) for the "right" to get a driving license ( about 300$ CAD for the actual license + 110$ CAD for the test ). then you NEED to plate it at dvm and a plate for a scooter is 295$ CAD per years. then you NEED insurance. mine is one of the cheapest, and its 181$ CAD a year.
    unless you already have a car driving license, then you dont need the license and the school and bla bla ble. only plate and insurance are needed.
    so yeah... wanna trade ? ill go live at your place and you come live at mine.

      @davidhofinger4927  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you can 100% do that it just will not perform at its peak. It will not perform at its maximum efficiency you’re going to have to give it bigger fuel jets to compensate for that larger displacement or you are going to run your motor lean but you can use the stock carburetor just with bigger jets.
