Chetak is running great! I have about 1,700 miles on the scooter now. I need to take it down to NoHo scooters for a service call - time for a valve adjustment and an oil change. I commute back and forth to work most every day on my Chetak. One way distance is about four miles. The Chetak is perfect for that kind of commute. I usually fill up with gas once a week. I usually put in about 3/4 of a gallon and the bill comes out to about two dollars. I really don't pay attention to the dollar amount - that's how little it is.
