TS1, what that shows is that less riders are on the road in the winter months hence, less accidents.

Around here, in SW Missouri, from about the middle of November until about the middle of March, there are very few riders on the road but the other months or when it gets warmer, there are bikes everywhere.

I just know that I've seen soooo many drivers, slide through intersections at stop signs and traffic lights and slide or roll into ditches at even slow speeds.

Now imagine the traction available on two wheels on city streets, with traffic around.

I've been riding for 52 years and the Xciting 500RI ABS is my 77th bike/ scoot and I ridden and toured all over the United States, raced semi-pro in deserts, Baja and all kinds of race tracks, ISDT and enduro and trials events and I know the dynamics of traction or the lack thereof. My opinions are mine.

Your signature says it all.

Your attempt to correct me Sensei was very condescending like you were the great mediator and you would scold someone for opinions that you don't agree with or like.

You did it again, challenging me to come to New Jersey, Satan's den and somehow you'd be victorious, knowing that it won't happen. If it did you'd pee your pants sweetie. People that act tough and challenge others from 2,500 miles away are very insecure and foolish.

Using slang like: LOFL, shows your childish and sinful nature. Grow up boy. How old are you anyway, 12?

If you were just being nice and wanted to discuss my views on this subject all you had to do was PM me and we could have maybe had a nice conversation. I think you knew that but thought you'd just try to rattle the 'New' guy. Good but ineffective try bubba.

Funny, I see all kinds of crap discussed here and only a little has to do with scooter's per se. Bad language, glorifying drugs and alcohol use etc and that's just fine with some of you Folks.

Anyway, enjoy your mental aberration and fantasy and troll for someone else to practice your negotiation skills on and 'do what you do and not what you say.'

Only about 9,000+- total, on one bike and two scooter's.

I work usually 6 days per week, roughly 10 hours plus per day. Church on Sunday. This doesn't leave much time to ride unfortunately.

That tire looks like it was made for your scooter--good job.

Put the correct amount in and forget about it until the next drain time. Check for leaks and seeing or feeling none, just leave it alone. Good quality final drive fluid never wears out nor looses it's lubricity.

Welcome to a neat forum from SW Missouri, by way of Southern, CA.

I've been to Lost Wages sooooo many times, for pleasure and business.

I've also toured all around there on bikes, like to area 51, Death Valley, Hoover Dam, lake Mead, etc and love the area since I love the desert.

3 to 4 inches of snow this morning, the first of the season.

I've taken a million pictures of the country with coat of snow but I still take pictures--it is so beautiful.

Riding is finished for now but once in a while we'll have a 70 degree day in Jan or Feb (Weird??) and the bikes are everywhere!

I went for an 80 mile breakfast ride yesterday on my Xciting 500 and it was over 70 degrees and absolutely beautiful.

Today, it's 24 degrees out:(

The 400 isn't really heavy, but that's subjective I suppose.  Weight adds highway stability and riding comfort. You can always buy a little leaf blower or weed whacker, 50cc scooter and get lighter weight and get thrown all over the cobblestone tarmac!

Feel lucky that you've found a scoot that fits you well. I'm 6ft-5in and I won't tell you how many "stones" or "KG's" I weigh but I'm significantly heavier than you and even my Xciting 500 and my Burgman 650 are a little cramped. My Goldwing is touring Nirvana:)

Have fun and ride safely.
