I did take him by the Adly dealer and he got to test ride a Bullseye with a 70cc kit and sit on a sexy new white GTA, but he keeps going "But once mines fixed I can ride it again.". At least he now realizes how slow and tiny his Metro is. How do I get him to even consider a new or gently used scooter? He missed out on the 09 Zuma 50cc that I sold for $400, so that should have been a sign. I'm sick of working on GET motors! Im a 2 stroke guy at heart!

He loves his scoot. Would you dump the one you loved in her youth to get a skinny new one. And he spent $25 on her, good for another 5000 miles.
