It's been way to long

Thought I'd post up a minute here as its been way to long. Let's see what happened...well I quit my job and went back to school to study nursing (hence no posts)...I got to go to the guns rally and made this:

which never gets old...then more school and we're up to date. The weather was 60 degrees yesterday (in January!) and all I could think about was being outside. I was able to find some garage time and Oh by the way...here's the new garage space...

and my work space...

We've been in here for a while but it dawned on me that I hadn't posted it up. Shared with 5 other bandits which we rent from a mutual friend named Joe. It's awesome having so much more room. While there I tried further diagnosing the vespino...yeah i know...I've been working on it for years. But really not years. I only get time here and there. But I just can not figure out what the hell is going on. I still have really low compression (90 on the tester). I've replaced gaskets, tightened it down, and permanently plugged the decomp and still...90. hmmm. My latest idea is that the brand new 65cc metrakit head I got from spain might be warped. My old one has a stripped plug hole, but oddly enough I just got an email from Rocky Malin (who is the only other person I know who has vespino parts in the US). So hopefully I can try a few more things. I'm so over this moped being stupid...
