People 50 / Re: strange odour on new People S 50 4T

Hi Axy,
Yes indeed that is my Tomos, for the moment I'm keeping it as my wife has shown interest in maybe riding it. You're right about the Italian heritage as well, born there back in '64 and my family moved to Montreal in '66. OK enough said as this is rather off topic. However, I decided to buy the People as I found the Tomos too small for me and my 6 foot 200 lb frame. I looked for a long time for a more size-appropriate scooter and considered a bunch of Chinese-built machines as well. I didn't want a Yamaha BWs as there are too many of them and they are very much associated with the younger crowd. The Vespas are near and dear to my heart, but are way over-priced in my view. I finally decided on the People after reading some reviews, watching a bunch of Youtube videos, reading many of the postings on this forum and finally, what clinched it was listening to the "Just Gotta Scoot" podcast. David Harrington, host of the podcast is very knowledgeable and had rave reviews on Kymco, so I finally made my decision. It's going to be a long long Winter for me as I can't wait for the Spring/Summer/Fall riding season. Legally I can still ride until December 15th here in Montreal, after that whether or not there is snow on the ground, you need Winter tires otherwise you can't drive, which means all motorcycles are off limits. That's OK, March 15th is the first day they let cars/motorcycles back on the road with Summer/4 season tires, so hopefully if the snow has abated by then, I'll be able to get back on the People. OK, I've rambled enough

Is this your Tomos? http://www.slandi.net/?p=95
Btw. Stefano sounds Italian, but I see you live in Canada?
