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
Im right there with you brother i dont have a license either brother. I feel for you but i know exactly what your going through. I live in rual area so anywhere far i cant drive. I will praying for you brother. 🙏 we believe in you brother!!! Thats right lord Willing. NO BROTHER ITS GOOD YOU TALKING ABOUT IT.
Everybody deserves to know what has been going on. I have a Devoted fan base who cares and I don’t wanna leave people hanging patience, time and dedication and I will be right back at it
@davidhofinger4927 I feel ya brother as you know I got you anytime you ever think about leaving the big city and yall breaking for South of the border about mid way you'll Stanford, Kentucky. My version of Joe dirt's silver town
Yeah, everything’s good just a bunch of BS that has happened lately. I’m not close to being done. I’m passionate about these scooters and driving and mechanics period, Just patience and determination and I will be back on two wheels and four 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.
@@davidhofinger4927 def try I’m sorry it happened during the cold! But I def feel you’ll get ya license back.. just gotta put in hella work for it !!! Def still do vids just don’t ride. Def try to fix people scooters around the way and make vids
@@Lovelife86nj I would love to do that, but without my scooters, I really have no content, Yes, I am good friends with Dave at the shop but with my schedule it’s really tough and the weather is getting cold if you look back at my trend of videos in the past two years, he will notice that in the cold months I just don’t produce content I am not gonna tell you that I’ll be able to make videos. It’s gonna be a while. It sucks., But I’ll be here to answer questions and help out as much as I can still, I promise that
Bro your vids are so helpful, I got a people 50 2t I'm just starting out with trying to modify and even though you're workin on different stuff you have so much knowledge that a lot of people have trouble showing/articulating. Keep that chin up bro things will come around!
No problem man I’m glad that it comes through helpful and easy to understand. That was the whole intention from the beginning, same Principles apply to modifications on different bikes, while it might not be the same exact dimensions, the same concepts apply
Sorry for the inconvenient circumstances, all you can do is pick yourself up and move on. Very humble of you to publicly announce your unfortunate situation David. Good to hear from you. 😊👊
I’m just a normal every day average Joe, who just happens to have a TH-cam channel about modifying Scooter’s. We all go through crappy scenarios sometimes unfortunately it has just been back to back for me. But life goes on you gotta change it you can’t just sit around. So here we go, I’ll back an two and four wheels lol You’ve been around since day one thank you brother this is not the end
Hey David, haven't seen you on moped for a while, so I came to see how you're doing. I'm glad to see you're doing ok despite not being able to ride. Good luck with getting your license process 🍀🤞
Currently getting together in my letters of recommendation which is required to ship off the packet and it takes about a month for them to respond and we go from there Good progress Like I said in his video, it just takes time. Unfortunately I miss my Scooter so much I was just watching a video of the clutch springs on my two-stroke. I can’t wait to ride that baby again
Ahhh I’m sorry to hear that dude Yeah, it’s never fun. Having to walk your bike home especially that far geez Things are going to get better with patience and Work but you know how it goes when it rains it pours
me and my dad are struggling to get our licenses too, dad drove to the store after having half a beer so his new wife called cops on him lol and I cant pass the drivers exam, you would not belive how hard those are in poland, same as you I love to drive and tinker with the rides but public roads are a no no for me yet
Sorry to hear. I had some down falls with my scooter too. I fell down and crashed. Im bruised up but im ok and after 3 carbs im ok. I need a front tire cause i slippand fell.
Taking a fall is never fun, when it happens you dust yourself off and make sure your bike is OK lol Glad to hear you’re all right 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 There are plenty of tires for these bikes out here you’ll find a good one. I’d recommend the Michelin S1 of course, it’s superb
Yeah, New York has been really strict. That is what I’ve heard from people within the community. Michigan has been really really loose the past few years, which was a blessing for my situation along with what I love to do modifying these things but here we are. It’s a thing now I can choose the break the law every day and risk my license that I am getting now or suck it up get my license and come back to what I love to do unrestricted
I just got the phone call to set up an appointment about my license to get the ball rolling again I go on the 30th slowly but surely I want back on my bikes so bad
@@Donbscooters757 if you watch my video two videos ago from my most recent content, you can visually see what failed. I figured it out. It was obvious, but you would not think of this as a problem on the variator face.
Scooters are well, They are both winterized currently still as well as the third one The two-stroke needs a new variator which is $180 My license is currently right now in progress so I can be back on my bikes legally and not get popped anymore. I am a few months out from a truck so I can focus on my scooters and just have fun again I appreciate you asking though man I’ve been handling everything just fine, but it just takes time
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?
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.
Things are well, still have a bit more before I make videos again my weddings coming up July 6th and after that I’ll be back on track regarding this channel

Hey bro what’s up it’s me do you still go on Facebook I was following you on Facebook and seeing you around years ago but you haven’t been active and I lost contact with you I just bought me a Yamaha I want to know if you wanna race or not I know you live in Michigan somewhere real like neighbors lol we have a big track in where people take their cars and motorcycles and whatever I was wondering if you want to come down and race when I’m fully done mode my bike out? And I still have the Taotao scooter but I’m trying to get rid of it trying to sell it they’re just not reliable
I’m trying to remember Talking to you on Facebook I talked to quite a few people about Scooter’s on Facebook from my TH-cam channel. I’m still on there. I haven’t been active because for the past 10 months I’ve been saving up for my wedding and the winter time I haven’t been able to focus strictly on my bikes like I used to be able to after my wedding here in a month I’m happy to get married. Of course I love my wife but I also love my bikes and I can’t wait to get back to them too lol Depends how far you live I take my four stroke on 200 mile road trips never do I take my two stroke though. It is not a road trip bike two strokes in general. Are not the best for that especially the way I built mine.
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.
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.
If they have changed the law to require a tag, a registration and an endorsement why the Fuhque should anyone bother with less than a 90cc scooter!? Saving money getting around is THE REASON I have a 49cc scoot.
Exactly, That’s why I’m pissed its stupid. 90cc or under needs a license to operate, including registration sticker. Dumb. That’s most peoples reason and now it’s not in Michigan at least
