First thang once I get Bad Penny home (soon, I hear), I will pull the seat bucket out, and just enough plastic panels to get to the head and cylinder. Both will be removed and taken to a machinist for evaluation and appropriate machining of the mating surfaces.
Once that is accomplished, the long, slow task of a non-mechanic guy and some of his friends putting Bad Penny back together again will be documented, here.
For scooter riding and socializing, see A Scooter Called Wanda, for now.
