	On 18 aug 2008 at 2230 i was riding my scooter (150cc) on a 12 mile trip. .5 miles from my destination i was traveling up a hill and the engine began to rev very high, followed by a loss of power transfer between the engine and the rear wheel. this scooter is less than 3 months old and this incident came with no warning. i know for a fact the manufacturer would fight this and will prolong as long as possible with any aid to me the consumer. if there would have been a car behind me i would have been killed. parts for my scooter are non-existent and no shop in my state will work on these. *tr
