Long time no see!
Hey guys, not sure how many of you remember me but I thought I’d pop in and say hi now that I have another Genuine in my stable. Just picked up this 05 Stella!

Congrats on the Stella. While they dont have the same riding dynamics as a Buddy, they are a lot of fun in their own right.
Props on the truck; currently working on a '68 C2500 with my brother. Has the 351c.u. GMC V6 and a THM400. We ditched the 16.5" widowmakers and it sits on 16"s now.

At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

My Buddy was stupid fun. More done to it than I care to explain haha. But the Stella is completely different and more raw, a lot like driving my truckaz_slynch wrote:Congrats on the Stella. While they dont have the same riding dynamics as a Buddy, they are a lot of fun in their own right.

You can mod the snot out of that Stella!

Spent yesterday working on a Burgman 400 with dead brakes. Brakes work now, but is still has a leaking right fork leg, a cupping rear tire, a dead speed sensor and a broken lock cylinder. I have a belt and rollers on the way and the final drive may never have been changed despite having ~35K on the bike.
Fixing Tom B's new Morphous next week; fuel pump has the same issue as the TMAX of the same vintage.
Might get to rewiring my Aermacchi Harley SX125 this week if time permits. I also have Damn Dirty Dave's ex-MB5 in my garage for a full rebuild prior to the Lake Erie Loop, which has priority over the SX. There's also an '82 FA50 charity case rebuild that needed pretty much everything but the crankcase and the head; I haven't even gotten started on the chassis yet.

My 1967 GMC 3/4 ton has V6 351E motor in it small window. When money and time afford most likely replace with LS motor as it gets 6 mpg if I am lucky. I love my truck!ScooterTrash wrote:az_slynch wrote:
