"The Small Side Bags", Are "Tourmaster", Nylon Cruiser III Tool Bags. They came with a FREE Rain/Dust Cover inside. They have a four-way strap mounting affair..meaning the straps can tie on vertically or horizontally. I use mine for keeping my thermos cold and camera in at times with the Rain and Dust cover. Many people
asked me about them..they are heavy duty water proof and keep their shape. I put the soft strip velcro in places I didn't want too much rubbing.

Brent..tnx. Happy to hear another goes to any event consisting of mostly the other type. The bigger event I went to was so called "The Ride For Homeless Vets". Past years I had gone to them but couldn't go on the ride being my scooters were a bit too short of power to stay with the groups of 3-400 bikes. Therefore I did my hobby bit which I am also retired from....News Photographer...a so called Photo-Journalist. With the 500 I made the trip this year and kept up with all on the trip with no problem. I came from the 200, 300 and now as said...the 500 and I think that is the last step up. I used to be a certified diver but gave that up after the local rivers got so darn dirty, one couldn't see more than 2-3 feet in front of you. Years ago, New Smyrna Beach, I was hit in the leg by either a Moray or Barracuda. That was the end to my ocean wandering. I do much hobby photo shoots now and go simply with one camera which I am very comfortable with. Nikon CoolPix p510. 42X, 16.1 megapixels is very comfortable for me. I don't care to carry all the different lenses when one like this is available. I worked with two Pulitzer Winners, John Filo and Eddie Adams, both lived near me. The Filo shot was about the 13 year old girl from FL which showed her after she was not found for awhile. Talk to you more.

Just a Note here.....probably 2-300 Bikes here and one guy comes in every year with what you found that is different! Is it noticeable...oh yeah and actually created a lot of interest. I was proud in my own way to talk about it even while surrounded with all the bikers. I am not backward nor worried what events I go to with my proud Kymco 500I. The organizer of this Block Party is from whom I purchased my unit. Again in the 2 day event, I shot probably 5-600 photo's.

Another Photo.

Next, it would be interesting to know what kind of scooter this is portraying? I would say they used pastels on this Art Work.

Thanks "zombie", can't go out today...real bad lightning last night with rain and calling for more today with possible hail. When I was just a kid...many many years ago! I can't recall this kind of nasty weather. We had lightning and rain but not always these down pours..causing flooding and high winds. I just hope this summer is not eaten up with this crappy weather. Will have to design a top on the scooter !!!

Just giving my thoughts on the tall Givi Windshield....I wouldn't want it being I wear the helmet with the pull down partial sun visor and the full clear shield over top of that if wanted. Between the partial stock windshield and the helmet as explained, I personally do not mind the little bit of air rush. Further this helmet is the type that covers the ears also. I put Rain-X over it and was in the rain twice and it cleared very easily while moving.

Sorry, one more of my unit!
