A country Boy can survive..

A country Boy can survive...lol. Got a 'new Scoot' for some work I did for a guy that is a dealer for them. It is a 2008 Jonway Sunny. It has been sitting untouched in his warehouse because it would run correctly out of the crate...so he was gonna use it as a parts bike..but left it sitting there. Found out it was ok..just had a bent and burned valve due to the flyhweel timing marks being stamped WAY off! New valves ground..lapped and installed an it purrs like a Kitten! But even with the original MCO Michigan DMV won't let me register it because they say being 6 years old and never being registered it is not considered 'new' and will cost me $500.00 for a Surety Bond to make sure it is not stolen..when all they gotta do is run the VIN..but they won't.. Then I have to pay the State Police to do a safety check on it and verify the VIN. So it will cost me over $500.00 to register a 'new' with MCO Scoot I got from a licensed dealer?? This is pure Bullsh!t.. Anyway it is for my Girlfriend and when I asked what color she wanted it as some of the body panels had faded..she said John Deer theme.. It is almost done and I will post pics of the completed project. Right now the paint is drying enough so I can clear coat and rub it out. Here is pic she took that she uses as her Facebook homepage pic.. We can't wait to see the look when folks say.. "John Deere made Scooters too??" She is gonna tell them yes..custom order only.. We got the factory color paint and decals at a Farm and Tractor supply company... This is gonna rock..IF!! The DMV pulls their heads outta their @sses..since there is NO LAW about what they kept telling us regarding the age of a Scoot etc..
