Thanks for the welcome!

Does anyone happen to know what the dimensions of the scooter are? I'll be driving 3 hours one way to pick it up. I need to know if I can fit it in the suv or if I'll need to bring the truck.

I feel pretty lucky about the deal. They had it listed on craigslist for $1300 and I offered $1100 for it. I figure the saving will pay for an upgraded exhaust ;D.

I had read over that link already so I was glad to hear adjusting the shock works that easily. I figured I was going to need to get a performance shock sometime soon , but if I can just adjust it then that's even better. I just don't want to be bottoming out all the time.

I'm going to try and get my plan laid out for doing mods. I'm sure I'll get the itch to speed this thing up pretty quickly. I'll probably go with a nice exhaust system first and then work my way from there. I'll be doing some reading in order to really get my plans figured out. Any suggestions on a path to follow? Have you seen anyone list the different stages to follow for an upgrade path?

I had ran across this one while looking at the honda metros

I felt like stopping by and saying hi and introducing myself. I've been lurking on a few scooter forums while trying to figure out my first scooter purchase.

This coming Saturday I'll be the proud new owner of a 2006 People 50 2T with 600 miles on it. It was de-restricted when purchased so it should be able to get me up and running at a decent speed for now (big emphasis on the for now part). I got it for $1100 with a helmet and lock so I think it was a decent deal considering it's in like new condition (kbb has it for $1250).

Hopefully the attached picture will show up. Unfortunately the girl did not come with the bike. I'm sure she looks better on it then my 6'3" - 220lb frame will.

Any advice for me as far as mods to do to make it more usable right away? I figure I'll need to adjust the shock since I'm quite a bit bigger than she is.
