Great pics as usual - looks like a fun ride.  Wish I was closer to you guys.....miss the good rides.

Interesting comparison.  The little bikes pique my interest....  Didn't think that Rich would have been interested in one-you turning him on to scooters has been a gateway?    As I recall, when we were all together in August he mentioned getting a new motorcycle and said it would be his last...so his garage must be full?

"so his garage must be full?"  That's an understatement.  He has something like 10 bikes but plans on selling some of them.  Besides the two scooters and the TNT 135 he also has a Bashan Brozz 250. 

What's that you ask?

Here he was on a ride today.

That guy is 5'8", and looks 'huge' on it.
That can be kind of a big deal - since a lot of riders like to check themselves out in store windows :-[
Seriously - not being overly vain - but few 6 footers want to look like a circus bear on a tricycle.

BTW- great fall pix!

I'm 6-2 and I fit just fine on that TNT135.  I really don't care what I looked like on it.  If I cared about that I wouldn't own a small scooter.

Klav, I think that statement is applicable to a lot of us.  My neighbor rides a Harley and doesn't even want to be seen riding with a scooter rider. ;D   I quit giving a darn what other people thought back in high school.   My Dad use to have a saying, (I'll give a dam what other people think when they start paying the bills).

In fact I remember another person on the forum state, ( I'm comfortable enough with my manhood that I don't care what others think)  ;)

And I think that just about sums us all up!
