Just to make things clear, because I usually write here in the morning, my posts are often about what happened the day before. Not sure exactly how good a blog practice that is.
Yesterday I took apart the scooter like you do to transport it. It was making an unusual noise when I returned from the grocery store on Monday. The scooter is usually fairly trouble free, but sometimes strings get wrapped around the axles of the two rear wheels. Found an amazing amount of road dirt inside. It is still sitting apart today.
