4 -It will be outside kept. It's in the garage now, but that won't last. What covers have worked well for you all?

5 -An this is an odd one... I had a little kid, like 8, throw a small rock at me at a stop sign. I just stared at him in confusion a bit, he was real obvious about it. I thought about beeping, but don't. What would you do?
Congratulations! Many miles to you, with the rubber side always down! :2tup:

re:
1 - Download the manual, see what could be appropriate (tire pressure check & oil cables, for instance)

2 - Yea, when the tank warms up in the sun or because of the hot engine, it tends to huff out some gas vapors through the little hole in the cap.

3 - It's made of metal for a large part, that may explain it.

4 - One that's big enough so you don't have the bottoms of the wheels exposed, they will rust.

5 - I'd throw a bigger rock back, or try (pretend) to run him over. Weird. You must have met a future criminal or politician. 8 year olds tend to wave, I hope that will be your future experience too.
