Look at the videos and a lot of information online. And apparently these bikes are extremely easy to work on, because the engine is underneath the seat, as opposed to being down underneath the mid-frame of the bike seat. So you just take off the seat, and you got access to your carburetor and your oil fill and your radiator and all that kind of stuff. So I'm strongly considering it, because I'm just so sick of trying to get someone to fix what I've got now. And it's my own fault. If I didn't put J.B. Weld on it last year and clog everything up, I wouldn't be having this tube right now, because the old exhaust could just be pulled off, fixed, and put back on. But I had to J.B. Weld it last year to get away from doing all this work in the first place. And it held, but now it's beating my Achilles heel, because it's a pain in the ass to remove J.B. Weld from the side of a head or the side of a motor. So hoping all this works out, because I'm so frustrated with this. It's getting to be disheartening. I literally was ready to go throw matches at it in the driveway yesterday. So before that happens, maybe I should just get it out of there and replace it with something else that's able to be ridden right away. So I've been looking at the pros and cons of this whole situation. I could end up with a bike that needs a whole bunch of work, but he told me everything from the bearings to the ball joints, everything was all done last year. I think I should be OK. It does have a couple of little rips in the seat, but I have a seat cover on my current bike. So if that fits, I'll just put it on the new one. If not, the seat cover is like $20 or $25. So we'll see what happens. If anybody's got any advice, let me know. I know the advice. I could end up with somebody else's nightmare. I hope not. But there's a chance you take. Either way, it's a little newer, it's bigger, more powerful, and it's a four-wheel drive. So I think at the end of the day, I'm making an OK decision. I really hope I don't live to regret it.
