Sunni had her scooter stolen:

Can you lock it up securely while you're in a store?
That sucks :( They've been installing lock rings all over downtown the past few years to cut down on bike theft. This supposedly prevents a thief from putting something in the lock and prying it open. I haven't had a bike stolen on the streets yet. I've had a bike, barbecue and recently patio furniture stolen off our deck. It's gated so you need a combination code or garage door opener to get in. Not sure how they managed to get the barbecue out.

I'm not very far from the US border. If you stay for at least 48 hours you can bring back up to $800 worth of goods duty and tax free not including alcohol. I do almost all my clothes shopping in the US.
Buy the trike at a walmart in the us and go pick it up. Have the e-bike conversion kit sent to "general Delivery" to yourself at the closest US post office I think they will hold it for 30 days, and pick it up with your bike, combined they won't total $500....

Try living here - lots of business's won't ship here or if they do it's UPS or Fedex which is like getting robbed.

Anything I order , I always write
“ Anything sent UPS will be returned to sender”

Was trying ordering parts from Rekluse, and they will only ship UPS , ok... I don’t want it.
Please put me in contact with a vendor that will ship how I want .

Probably added a couple weeks , as they had to order it directly from who I was talking to, but no UPS , the only power I have against them is my wallet , n I refuse to give them any . I’ll pay more , wait longer, just not to give them a penny.

Sometimes I don't have a choice - customer needs something tomorrow from the east coast and there are damn few options.

I had a 73 Kaw Z1 in the late 70's, re-enlistment gave me a pocket full of cash & I had her built by MTC engineering to 1400 something cc's, big cams, welded crank, smooth bore carbs, kerker header etc... She'd do somewhere around 170+ (got painted with trooper radar @ almost 150 with lots left in the motor) but the frame & suspension was a death trap with power like that.

Very lucky I didn't die on that bike.
