A_R it's time for an update on those brakes, how are things working out. I got into some serious rain yesterday after work and as it was the first time I been out in the rain on this scoot I was worried about the handling. A few thoughts I had was how well the stock tyres would grip from a hard pull away and into the corners and how the brakes would be affected by the wet conditions. I did take things a bit slower and with more caution than in the dry and must say the scoot handled very well. No problems at all, I had no scary moments or any issues with the handling. As far as the traffic goes there were some serious accidents and huge traffic build-up. The wife who works on the other side of town uses at least the last half of the same route I do and finishes an hour before I do so she normally gets home about 40" before me. Well yesterday she got home 30" after me, stuck in traffic, while I just slipped on by with this huge smile on my face in spite of the rain. Then the protection is so good I was hardly wet at all. I just love this scoot. Getting near due for that 4000km service then I'm going to chat to the dealer about those malossi kits and things you guys are talking about. Regards from Durban RSA.
