Funny photo :)

I got a little ribbing in the Motorcycle Safety class, and everyone busted up at the instructor riding the little 125cc scooter around the course after our evaluation. Guess that pretty much indicates their attitude.

I would prefer if scooter riding had a more manly reputation (maybe because I'm also a male quilter!). My wife thinks it's hot, likes me in my gear. Can't complain about that ;). I got a scooter because it's automatic.

I have a friend who had a Honda Goldenwing but found it too stressful to ride in street traffic, with all the shifting and tricky maneuvering. She now rides just her scooter because it's more nimble, quicker and easier to respond to traffic, and needs less room to maneuver.

Dealer believes the cat means the trunk is open. I don't have a trunk, so could be something else around there fluttering in the wind.

I do have bungee cord and cargo net fastened to seat with large hooks under the seat. Maybe that was enough to trigger something? Time will tell.

Thanks you guys, I appreciate your replies. I also couldn't find it anywhere, including the printed owner's manual. I may ask the dealer. I suspect the only meaning we'll know for sure is to "lay off the throttle already."

Have a good one,
Andy

Greetings!

I have a new Kymco Move 150, now at 124 miles. When running full throttle, I saw an indicator icon that looks like a running puma, panther, or jaguar with a slash through it. I haven't seen it when doing so before. Assuming it means to slow down, though can't find any documentation on it. I was doing about 50 MPH at the time, but also saw it a few times when doing less.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do when seeing this indicator, other than roll off the throttle.

Does anyone have experience with this? Does it eventually go away when riding at the same speeds, after the engine is broken in? Really hoping this bike will get to higher speeds, considering it's supposed to be freeway legal.

Thanks for your comments,
Andy
