My scooter

Damn, I'm talking about my scooter again.
The last time I had someone on the back of the scooter, our combined weight was more than the maximum weight allowed. I rode anyway.
Now, I can take someone on the back without breaking the laws of nature.
This past fall, I decided to take the panels off and paint them to refresh the look.
I changed my mind when my wife got sick, and it got too cold to work in the garage.
I took the "visors" off and one of them was brittle and broke apart. It was old and beyond repair. The visor is the leg fairing that is made of cloudy gray plastic. It is the last piece on the left and right side down by the legs. This allows the wind to travel around my legs, keeping me warm in colder weather. Fairing is a good thing because it allows you to go farther without getting as tired because you are fighting the wind.
I thought about it a long time, and finally decided to buy a new visor. I looked online and found an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at an outrageous price for the small price. I also found the same parts made in China. They were chrome plated, and included several other parts to compliment the chrome look.
The combined price was only a few dollar more than the price for the single piece.
I checked on some of my favorite Honda Helix sites, and got good reviews on the Chinese parts, so I splurged and bought them.
Now, instead of repainting my scooter, I will just replace the parts when they come in and as long as it isn't snowing, or icy, I am going to go riding soon.
On a side note, I bought a drum machine for my music, and started to study the manual yesterday. 40 pages of information. Way too much for me to cover in one sitting, so I'm taking it slow.
I plan to learn how to use it, and add it to my guitar and voice, and go out and play again. I don't know if I can do it, but I'm heading that way.
I listed some of my music equipment for sale, but didn't get any nibbles. I was hoping to sell some in order to buy other stuff, but I guess it's not to be yet.
I have a mower, and 4 wheels from my Honda CR-V up for sale too, but also, the season is slow, so I will wait until spring.
