Plenty of Scooter at Work, Not Mine

Lots of scooter have popped up at work in the past couple of days. I used to be alone in parking mine and have just noticed 4 others who have joined the ranks. There is one called a Hitong which I have never heard of before, appears to be Chinese or perhaps Korean? It has asian writing on the tires, I imagine they are stock, there are no other indicators as to model etc. There is also a nice (if you are into them) Vespa with a leather luggage roll on the back. One Yamaha 125cc, older model, is now present as well as one additional unidentified scoot. Looks like Im not alone, now only if I could manage to bring mine in to work. This weekend Im going to get to business on figuring out my electrical issues. I have recently become aware of a Baron with very similar issues and hopefully between us we can figure this out.

Yes I did but it turned out I did not need it. Ok here is what happened. I went to Pep Boys for new bulbs they had one set of the 1157's. However I had heard that you should use red bulb and white bulbs behind red lense produce pink. Anyways on my last round to find 4 stroke oil I saw these red (heavily marketed) 1157's, so I got them instead. When I tried them in the scooter instead of the tail light being out it worked but I had no brake lights. Turns out they were 8w, vs. the stock 5w, I dunno if that can even explain it. Anyways the cheap chinese bulbs worked, I will post more info soon .
