Endurance Rider - A brief history

[SteveADV]

When I retired I had planned to visit every Tim Horton dow-wacker store in N. America..stopping only to pee on my Burgman 400.
 ( well no, not to pee on my Burgman...need better sentence structure)
But, my new puppy needs to be walked at the reservoir every morning. ...fortunately.

Hey Stig,    I think your sentence structure is perfect.

I knew it! Glad to have you on board B D I mean ER.

Yeah, it's not a bad forum at all and it's really well moderated but the same old questions seem to get asked in a slightly different way.

It's nice to be in a new environment.

May I ask a few questions to those in the US namely LA.

ER.

[TroutBum]

Ask away. Hopefully we can be of assistance.

Yes. The answer is 47
But avoid the "Mike's Quick Lube & Donuts" on N. Canyon...the other 46 have good reviews in the April issue of "Sport Rider & Pastry".

OK

1 Would a K- Pipe make it across the USA LA to Washington in less than a week ?

2 Who would you recommend (in LA) to sell me one if I was dumb enough to do this ?

3 What mileage do they do per tank ?

4 I'm working on question 4.

[Stig / Major Tom]

Reviews say it gets about 80mpg.
8 HP...50" wheelbase....50mph top speed.
Justgottascoot.com has a good review.
Think you might want to present your credentials and idea to mother KYMCO USA.
Might sponsor your trip....at least give you a T-shirt and/or set you up with dealers across America for your servicing. Or...they'd run like a bunny away from an idea with so many possible issues.
Sounds like a really cool idea. Would make a great read as you go. !!

 All of the K Pipe bikes were recalled due to nonstandard transmission shift pattern. Unless Kymco redesigns the transmission set up for the U.S., we may never see them again.

It's a Plan B if I'm totally honest but I think that it has legs.

Rather than race across the country as quickly as possible on a scooter of 300ccs in less than 5 days - which is Plan A, a more leisurely attempt could be called for.

At the moment I'm waiting for the important people who make the decisions to make the decisions but I'm cautiously optimistic it's going to happen.

If not I'll be looking for a dealer that you guy's know and trust to make a purchase.

u tell him crossbolt, kymco rocks. ;]

[Endurance Rider]

Oh Lido that's a shame.

Are they really not on sale in the US anymore ?

OK , People 300 it is then.
