I've beat the cancer but the neuropathy is eating my right hand and arm. I was a competition shooter but I've lost my ability to pull a trigger so no more clay targets or paper punching from 300 yards. I can't squeeze the right brake lever (front) like I need to so riding isn't safe, can't grip a golf club so that's out. I'm going to sell my scooter, as I've mentioned here before I tend to keep maintenance items on hand, I have 2 complete oil changes, a drive belt, a set of tires, the chain spacers (#2 is installed, 1,3 and 4 are ready when needed), the special tools needed for belt replacement, a GS-911, a wheel balance adapter for the scooter wheel, a gasket and a few other items but I've said all this to say I've dealt with Facebook marketplace before and I know they will offer less than a fair asking price and want me to "throw in" all the bits cause "you won't need them anymore". I live about 20 minutes South of Atlanta, I'm finishing up a starter replacement on the scooter and completing a maintenance "catch-up", with my hand I'm slow but I do a little each day to keep from getting too aggravated and I'm gaining on it. If anyone lives nearby or is passing through send me a PM, I'll save you some money on this stuff if you need it.
 
Bike is back together, took my time and made sure it was as good as I could do, was surprised that the wind screen worked after the starter failed and the battery was out for a month while I waited for a starter. Changed the oil and filter and checked it over for any other maintenance items but I've stayed on top of it and all fluids were flushed in April and I relined the brakes then along with spark plugs and air filter. I changed the windscreen to the custom I got from Jurock, I like it much better for the colder months (protects my arms much better) and the Ermax is preferred in the warm months as more wind gets to my arms and helmet. I haven't ridden it yet but tomorrow I'll hook up the GS911 and reset the maintenance interval and take a ride.
