My Brother-in-law owed me a favor, and since I have wanted a goped since I first saw one in the Shred Shop on Oakton (15+ Years ago)I knew I would somehow trade him for the one he got last summer for under $50.

After a few hours of tweaking on the day of Esme's christening, we got it running again and I had my first ped ride.  Seeing how much fun it was, Rusty hesitated giving it up...especially since his motorcycle was down, and he was gonna use it to ped to work for the week.  Well...after few weeks of patience, I stopped by his house and he had it all setup for me to take home.  New spark plug, carb opening all the way, after getting a few more MPH out of it he handed it over.  

Thanks T-Bone!
