« on: July 30, 2013, 11:06:06 PM »
Actually I have not gotten to ride it yet.... I just wanted to let everyone know it is in the states now!....
I did just learn that it was in Mid-Ohio for test riding a few weeks ago.... but go figure... kymco does not really broadcast news very well so I had no Idea it was happening and missed it!! ;_;

Ha ha ha vivo
lucky for me I am still in the sex and money phase! (and it seems to go for a while too, according to that pic! ha ha)
Though I do not think I could talk so freely about how tight my front fork and handle bar is while jerking on them !>_<
anyway sorry I could not help you other wise 08087 do not have that problem yet... on my bike I mean.... well or otherwise....
if you should develop rattles just below your speedo then you are probably not wearing them right >_<
ok talk later and take care all!
ohhh and always take the bump and hump slow your parts will last longer that way!!

« on: December 22, 2012, 01:03:39 AM »I've got a rattle just below the speedo, the handle bars and front fork all seem tight and don't have any play when I jerk on them etc. However when I hit a sharper type bump it rattles as if something inside the plastic housing is lose and hitting the plastic.
If I got over a slow bump or hump at any speed you don't hear the noise, it's only when the bump is sharp or jarring.
Any ideas as to what it may be, did this ever happen to you or is it a normal thing I have to live with?
I am sorry..... but my mind went in so many wronnnngggg places when I read this that I do not think I will sleep well tonight..... >_< lol! Should you ask this same question on the web MD forum? ^_^;;
sorry again could not resist

General Discussion / Re: Wind and wind gusts
« on: December 22, 2012, 12:54:17 AM »
Not sure how fast the wind was, but when I had the grandvisita I was riding west near lake Eire in Cleveland highway 2 and a gale came off the lake while I was doing 70 mph..... I had never leaned over so far to counter the wind in my life (and I was still a new rider at the time)..... and to top things off the wind was blowing me into a semi that was passing me! If I was not trying to save my life I think I could of touched the trailer of the damn truck! >_< ... needed a change of shorts after that one!!
since I have the xciting 500 have not had any where near that type of problems (but still very aware of wind gust!)
that was my experience with wind!

Yeah there starting a little expensive at 24000 dollars, but with insentives from the goverment it would bring it down to around 19000 which is good
when they get around to producing more they hope the second wave would be around 16000.
ultimately they want to price them around 12600 which would be awesome and affordable (especially if you can drive them in the winter time too)
anyway good to see thing like this develope.... and being developed in the USA.... just hope they can build them in the USA (or set up shop in every country that they sell them in)
time will tell...... or the big gas companies will put them out.... >_<

« on: November 24, 2012, 03:25:23 PM »Good point there... but how come Chinese motorcycles and scooters are up to date in the U.S.?
Maybe it all depends on who the government is borrowing money from and how much they owe to them ?? :p thus Chinese have an easier time get things in. but who knows for sure..... it all seems shifty to me

I am kind of liking this electric "scooter/motorcycle" ...car thing It would almost be perfect for going to work (even on the freeway) Wish it could look a little more like the T-rex though :p
http://litmotors.com/driving-the-c-1/
actually it would be awesome if they did make a motorcycle and a scooter version of it! 3 options/ one drive unit!
what do you think?

From what I have heard (but not sure to what extent it is true) getting through all the US government regulations and tests and additions to and for each model and model change are a chore that takes a long time >_<

Considering that the "new" xciting 500 ri just got released in the USA this year.... and it has been out in other countries for ... what 3 or 4 years already? It will probably be 3 or 4 years for the xciting 400 to be released here.
and then there is the myroad which was out in??? 2009? in other countries.... still waiting >_<
