Winter LIKE200i Ride
« on: January 14, 2015, 12:49:17 AM »
Single digits tomorrow - but roads should be dry so that I can take the LIKE to work.

No being too stupid....I will take a little ride to work & back in the wife's car to check the roads before heading out in the dark on the scoot.
Also, one can drink a coffee in the car....but don't try explaining any of this behavior to the kids. (Mrs Stig is used to it; this being the 2nd winter with a scoot in the garage)

There's more here than meets the eye. Hundreds of scoot picts. but not ONE of a family member/dog/computer screen at work...

I'm getting a creepy feeling. Hmmmm

Obviously part of witness protection. :o
Or just posts pics of the "most loved" things in the house, lol.

Great pics, hardcore rider.

We could have our very own Poltergeist!

He could be the spirit of a (no longer with us) scooter rider...

Perhaps we need to Ghost Test him.  How many fingers am I holding up?

Dang....the white stuff.  Don't even know what that is here in SoCal.  I was wondering, what, if anything, can those orange voids above the running lights on the front be used for?  I suppose I can see if there is another thread on them, but it would be nice to make them usable?

Just my random thoughts of how to improve my scoot.  And to answer your coffee issue, I mounted a cup holder to my bike.  I'll have to post a pic later, but I basically got a flexible textile cup holder, and mounted it to the plastic placard piece covering the VIN on the floorboard.  It works great.  I can grab a boba tea or some SBX and cruise to work (note, I wear a full face, so I don't drink and ride).  The bottom of the cup rests on the floorboard, so no spills!

There are a couple posts on those amber areas on the front. I posted some camera shots in there to see the back of those blanked off lights. I forget what color lights were OEM for the running lights ...but I put in some good quality amber bulbs which seem to make me plenty visible at night. (the cheap LEDs burned out and started flickering - dangerously mimicing a turn signal operating!)
I have way too much to do to be drinking anything while on the scoot !
If you want to improve your night safety - the Bestem is the best safety mod IMHO. Other lighted top case can run nearly 20% of the OTD price of this scoot.....the Bestem 929 with liner and lights runs about $130. It is very visible at night and when stopping - even in the day light.
And, of course some Michelin City Grips for good mileage and safer wet riding.
And for $7 - you can't beat an Iridium NGK.

Stig, have you tried running the NGK Iridium plug in your Honda?

Some how I missed that...  211 is the number if this gets to be too much.
