It may mess up the look but maybe a little strip of reflective tape somewhere on the front of the bike.

People s200 / Re: WINTER IS COMING AND I WANT A GREAT BATTERY.....?WHICH ONE?......
« on: October 26, 2015, 09:14:55 PM »
Here's what I did. Start practicing kick starting your bike, get it down pat and do it as a means of starting her once or twice a week. This way if your battery does die you know what it takes to kick her over.
And always have a trickle charge at home so you can keep her fully charged, these little batteries just don't hold power like a car batt. does.

As much hi vis as you can wear is always best. Just the other day I'm at a stop sign making a right hand turn onto a main road, I look right cause that's the direction most of the traffic comes from that time of day, look left, then a quick look right again, I begin to pull out and as I'm going to turn my head left one last time I catch this cycle rider out of the corner of my right eye.
We didn't hit and it wasn't all that close (But I did cut him off), but if a person who rides can't spot a cycle imagine an old lady with limited range of vision.
I should add that I roled down my window at the next light and waved to him, he was a good guy and just waved back. I'm glad my car can accelerate as well as it did, or it might have been much closer.

When I was riding I rode no matter what the temp. was. A good ride can be better when everyone is sitting home cause it's too cold to go out.
To the point of the 50cc scoots, I see many of them, mostly as delivery types around the city I commute through. They hit 30-35 and can get into small spots and nucks that a larger bike can't.
To the point of the fat round guy poking fun, it just goes to show you his small mind. As my 4th grade teacher used to say, empty barrels make the most noise.

Well everyone, you've noticed I've been absent from these pages much of the past year. The reason why is that I have been unable to ride. I underwent back surgery several months ago and while I'm "healed" and back to work I have this suspision my back won't be able to take the mean streets on a scooter.
I've not given up completely just yet, will wait until spring when my operation is a full year in the rear view mirror. But am looking if anyone would want to buy mine when the time comes. It's got some damage I never fixed when someone knocked it over while parked, then tried to stand her up and it fell over on the other side. When I go to her my signals were broken (switch) part of the body panel in front is cracked, the horn button no longer works also. Other then that she starts and rides fine, last check she's got a bit over 2K on the clock, she's a 2009 red model. Comes with a full wind shield and a carry bag I have mounted on the rear.
If anyone has an idea of what I should ask for a bike in this condition don't hesitate in speaking up. PS the scoot is 163 CC and tops out at 57 MPH via GPS.
Thanks

I'm very late here but the price is good IMO, I have over 3K miles on mine and never touched the valves or anything other then to change the oil, she starts and runs well all the time.

« on: June 11, 2015, 03:51:11 PM »
There are some sort of beads you can add to the inside of the tire that will self locate to the light spot in the wheel as it spins, wondering if that is a better idea? What got me thinking about this is I had my scoot running on the center stand and when I rev'd it the back tire seemed out of balance.

Do any of you have the little weights around your rims like on cars? I was noticing I don't have any on either one of my scooter tires/rims.
