The $500 Moped That Taught Me Everything

A 9-mile sunset run to a Mexican spot before it closes. The story of how a $500 vintage Honda moped, a bad repair experience, and three months of waiting turned me into the guy who works on it myself. In this one I walk through the new dashboard mods (CHT thermocouple + a tachometer that actually works), how this little Iowa Edition went from a factory-limited 22-23 maybe 25 mph to 37 flat with a new piston and rings, and the full story of the shop that taught me to never hand off my own bike again. Nobody is going to care about your bike as much as you do.
