Really smooth move this morning. ..
« on: June 11, 2020, 11:10:16 AM »
I tried a dismount this morning as though I was on my old Forza.
'Cept of course I'm on a step through with a high top case.
Fortunately there were only 3 cars watching at the light....
If I'd done that in front of my coffee shop...well, I'd just have to find another village.
Darn near kicked over my own scooter....

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I find myself throwing a leg over my scooter all the time despite having a step through frame. To many years of motorcycle riding and the habits that are in ingrained.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

only time I ever broke a bone, dismounting my SV650, boot gets caught on seat, as I am falling on my face, I put my hands out, broke my left thumb, and kicked the bike in the other direction. no damage.  rode home with a hurtin left hand (I'm left handed) doc put me in a cast that went up to my elbow, but fingers were sticking out.  I could still ride, hardest part was getting cast thru jacket sleeve with thumb sticking out perpendicular.  but once thru, I could hook the clutch with my fingers

almost did the same with my K-pipe, twice, yesterday, boot caught on a bungee net hook while dismounting
