It was lunch time today when I hopped on my favorite MB a Schwinn Point Beach and headed for the local food store. Less than two blocks from the shop the motor sputtered and died. Gas was on so I thought Hmm, Swine CDI wire came loose again. I was right in front of a local Bussiness and in plain sight of anyone for a block. Just as I got off my bike a Man a few years older than me comes running to me with a crazed look on his face. Didn't see where he came from but he looked either nuts and violent or something. I have seen the look before. I yelled Whoa buddy can I help you. He stopped about 10 feet from me and got the strangest look on his face I have ever seen. He said that's not my son's bike. I said no, His bike is exactly like that. He started to relax and I asked him if he was alright.
He said let me show you something sir. Ok, we walked about 15 feet and there behind a chain link fence sat a pretty Schwinn Point Beach with an 80cc Motor kit on it! He thought I was stealing his Kid's bike. We talked and Seems his kid and he got him the kit for Xmas. I saw the trouble after I had calmed down. The White wire came untaped and was grounding out on the engine case. Killing the CDI. I did stained glass as a kid, they have a shop for stained glass. There is where I broke down. They sold the stained glass supplies to MY Parents all those years ago!I thought He had a golf club in his hand,
I had my hand on something diffrent inside my leather jacket. Sure am glad it turned out the way it did. He gave me some tape to fix the wire, I hope Were all going riding tomorrow
