« on: December 30, 2010, 05:19:53 AM »Hi,
it is not exactly officially celebrated, but there is St. Stephen's day. It is a bit more of a festivity for those whose name is Stephen/Steven and those that are avid church-goers.
We have a local "version" of that name in our language.
The closest country to mine is Slovenia, some 25 kms to the west is the border.
Then, there is 70 kms to Italy, a bit more famous country.
Albania is to the east, approx. 950 kms to the east, so it is quite far away. There are many other countries between us and them, like Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia...
450 kms to the German border from my city, border to border probably around 300 kms.
The thing is that in 1000 km circle around my city, you have Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia etc.
European countries are relatively small. It's not like central USA where if you travel 5000 kms to the north you can reach Canada and if you go to the south, you can reach Mexico and that's it.
Wow! So many different cultures so close together!! Yes, you definitely have the advantage over us there! Your location is favorable for travels to other countries. I did think it looked about 1,000km to Albania on the globe. I could not estimate that Germany was that close, though! You don't drink that German beer do you, axy? I hear it's very strong. That could be a lie, though.
I do imagine it was a bit easier to get parts for those Italian scooters you had considering the nearness of Italy to your country.

Yikes! $15!! Sorry to hear that, perkussion.
I do so hate when the shipping costs more than SEVEN times the cost of the item you are ordering!!!
Some places (I can't say about the 'numbers' place) will ship some small items by USPS first class mail for a much lower rate, IF you call or email and request it before placing the order.
You could also try this site. Just type parts, or Grand Vista, or whatever in the box on the left and select Kymco in the drop-down menu. I don't know if you'll have much luck with it this time of year, but ya never know.

Good luck!

I have actually seen a couple of places online that sell the key blanks for about $5 or so and wondered what the difference was. I can't imagine the shipping for a blank key would be very high, even if several were ordered. I don't enough about keys to even say if ordering a few would be worth a try, though. It could be a waste of money. Maybe someone can enlighten us.

I think I saw a picture online one time with skis attached to a scoot. 
Snow chains would be great!
Hi, axy. My friends have came and left. Sadly, they did not have a great deal of time to spend this trip so we did not even turn the computer on while they were here. I hope you had a nice holiday. Do you celebrate St. Stephen's Day as well? I read about it on Wikipedia and wondered. If you do, I hope it was a nice day for you. (I don't know who St. Stephen is, but then a lot of folks probably don't know who St. Valentine is either.)
Wow, on the globe it looks like you are possibly closer to Germany than Albania!

Ouch! Sorry to hear it, MrKymco. And yes, sadly, it does behave much like Pewter. 
Hope the next one fits better for ya!
Wow, sparko, I hope I'm as lucky as you, because I know one day I'm going to drop the keys in there just as I'm closing it! I've had that feeling since the first time I opened it. I REALLY have to get an extra key made!

Wow, a Christmas Eve ride, really? That's too cool, Yager E! 
I'm gonna do that next year when I move to Florida.
We sure did get the snow! But on my end, I'm at the bottom of the steep hill!! I don't have any 4 wheel drive (or any vehicle) any more so I'm stuck in for the duration when it hits. I'm hearing now that the temperature may get up into the 50's by the weekend here, though.
I can't wait...maybe I can get a New Year's Eve ride in!

Thanks, oswaldters, bat, I worked hard all day, lol! Then my son took off to tour colleges on the other side of the U.S. 
I bet he's running into all kinds of weather!!
It's been a pretty White Christmas, though!

Yeah, maybe they will import it one day. Sounds like it was worth the wait. I was hoping to see a pic of the whole scooter, though.
(I've never seen the Yager before.)
THANK YOU, Yager E!!
And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours as well!!
