I received my replacement bolt a couple days ago, and spent an hour putting my C70 back together. It has been sitting on a block, the front wheel off, with no legshield. I put the new bolt into the suspension arm, then put on the red fender, then the wheel, attached the speedometer and brake cables, then attached a red front badge I got off of ebay, and finally the legshield. The battery is all charged up, and I was ready to go for a ride last night. Too bad it was in the 30’s. I stayed inside… Anyways, it feels better to have the C70 back together and road-worthy. I might just take it out to take some artsy night pictures of it. It definitely won’t win any awards for being the prettiest scooter… it’s red and blue, for goodness sakes!

In other news, the bike is still not registered. I am waiting for the previous owner to sign the bill of sale. It’s a frickin pain in the ass. I keep calling his assistant, who is seldom there, and never returns my calls. The last time I talked to her, she said the documents would be signed on the 28th… I am thinking of giving up, and trying to get the bike titled some other way.
