My rain suit came in today as they promised and I am impressed with it. A 50 dollar outfit I purchased for 45 and it is what I expected. 3 piece zipper, valcro, tie strings and heavy weight with the 3M name on it. I tried the 2X on and it is a perfect fit. I am not sorry that I didn't spend more money on any particular suit. I further ordered this is all yellow from Motorcycle Superstore and they were prompt and to the point and promised the suit wasn't a piece of cheap plastic. Besides it being heavy duty, it is 3M Scotchlite Reflective, River Road.

While still learning about scooters, I am wondering about all the options when one would happen to occur? My first thought is...at least carry a can of fix a flat  to limp to better help, call a friend with a truck if known, use AAA if one has it, or Depending on the type of flat, is it ok to use "fix a flat" and carry one with you? A while back, I inquired about AAA for scooter insurance for such an event but the price made me forget about it for awhile. Years ago, I had a hauling trailer (not for (scooters) but that is years ago before getting into this new hobby! The other thought I have is to ask the dealer if they have a hot number for such a situation but I look at that as having to take a loan out! Appreciate your thoughts.

Didn't know K&N had filters for the X500 Kymco....I had a K&N Filter on every vehicle I ever owned and they do work. What I mean by work...there is a BIT

Looked around and found this site and ordered.... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/11/101/589/ITEM/River-Road-Rainstorm-Two-Piece-Rainsuit.aspx I would have  liked black bottoms but couldn't order light top and dark bottom. This should surely be high-Viz!

I am imagining "Night and Rain"......forget it! gonna try to stay home and watch television or get on Kymco Forum!

I wondered when it would happen and it did yesterday. With a friend on his motorcycle, we hit the road on a great looking day but than...."Rode In The Rain". I planned for the possibility so placed my wallet in a zip-lock, dry jersey in the box and my camera in the box in a large zip-lock just in case. The box is water proof. With the rain coming down and in a wooded area road way with no place to pull off but under trees we didn't chance the lightning and kept riding. Rain stinging and wetting but visibility good being I had rain-x'd my mask. It was so hot and the rain actually felt good and thought the only thing I am worried about is if the bike would quit. No, it went through the rain...no problem and we were but very careful on the curves so we wouldn't slip out. Yes I had a cheap poncho under the seat but felt what the heck...not going to use it. So, this was a good experience and no harm done. One member on here wrote to go ride it now and that I did!!

Another pix over-all of my proud to have New Scooter. Eventually will mount the rack on the box and install the round lights that will be on during daylight and braking.
