I have read your entire thread from start to this point.I must commend you,I would have given up a long time ago..I recently bought a running Goat,my first MV..I'm not sure whether that was a good or bad decision.I have learned so much from your thread and the comments from others..Mine starts and runs great but has no brakes,It needs little things,a paint job,you mention the top cover is easy,can you buy these or have them made? I have the frame but no fabric..It's hard entering and exiting with the frame in place so i'm going topless for now..Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your story..
