LOL, I don't have a muffler cap, but you reminded me of my old Tao Tao. I several times had stuff fall off while I was riding down the road. Blue loc-tite is your friend.

I agree about the cagers down there (Fla). The residents are all in a hurry, and the snowbirds are lost or in a fog. I just upgraded to a Yamaha Majesty partly because I felt more unsafe in the...
