Closest Major Tom's LIKE200i will ever get to an Interstate Highway!
« on: May 13, 2020, 06:14:10 PM »
That's I-70 down there...(AKA, no-man's-land IMHO for a 260lb, short wheelbase, 12" tired, 58>62mph, plastic scooter)

 





My LIKE is a townie....


Even kept my 489lb Burgman400 on country roads.....

I often have my 125 scoot on the highway and am not the slowest vehicle. Drafting with 2 seconds of following distance for reaction time behind a line of big rigs takes me to 82 mph.

Heck, I even avoid the Interstate with my motorcycle...only getting on when absolutely necessary! On the scoot? I think I've seen an indicated 65 (probably a real 59 ish) in a long downhill tuck. Can't imagine drafting semis at 80mph!! That takes guts.

May take guts for some, but in my case youth alone has always sufficed.

"....lights...."
Yeah, best I've ever had - especially after I got under the nose and aimed them for my weight and rear shocks pre-load.
The Forza had twin running headlights, too.
Never understood why some build 'em with two headlights - but illuminate only one.
