I'm a virgin.....

[Scott]

Lost my virginity and, WOW, scooter fun can't possibly be legal!   

@08087:  Only forgot the kick-stand twice, haha, day #1 was dry
@Carol: It was actually a '79 Ford LTD and she was probably 106 yrs old...I survived   
@Vivo: Forgot keys in ignition only once 
@MaryK: got the safety endorsement last week, thanks!
@TroutBum&Vivo: Roger on the underwear...only one body fluid problem...that clear nose snot with a full-face!

Tried to load a picture but limited to 129Kb....I know LESS about computers than I do about scoots

Remember if carrying a passenger or if riding in the wet or on damp roads that braking distance will double, so allow more space to brake from the car in front. And slow down more on bends too if wet out.

Wear all the gear,especially at the start till you get used to riding and get a feel for how your scoot handles.

There's 2 ways to show a picture. One is via attachment with the 192k limit.

The other is through a hosting site like Photobucket. Go to Photobucket.com
and open an account, upload pictures to there. Under the thumbnail is a link to
direct link. Point at that and it will say copied then come here to the post reply
window and choose the little picture on the line of icons above the faces it will
paste a "img /img" with square brackets, paste your direct ink in between those
brackets. When you hit send it will substitute the picture for the URL...

Scooter fun is great. My suggestion to you is find a local scooter club where you can connect with others who enjoy scooters as much as you do. I have made so many great new friendships and have learned many ways of riding in a group. You can google this, or checkout meetup.com for scooter groups on there. You will be happy you did this. It is okay to go riding by yourself, but riding in a group is so much better. Another thing I would suggest for you is to attend at least one scooter rally in your lifetime. Words do not describe the experience of these rallies. Kymco is a major sponsor of the next rally I am attending. Here is the link to this upcoming rally. It is www.lvscooterrally.com  Happy riding to you.

Thanks KK.  Searched clubs in the Seattle Metro.  Uneventful.  I found 3 with little-to-no activity in 8 months!    Maybe I should start a new thread?

Maybe. I know for the Vegas scooter rally, we get many people with their old school Vespas and Lambrettas who come down to the annual Vegas Scooter Rally. We even get those from the Portland, metro area who visit. I am sure you will find some.  Keep searching. I am sure the weather plays a huge factor as well for doing rides. I would check the Vespa and Lambretta clubs. Maybe they could refer to a few groups.
