Can we get a pic of the damage?...if that's not too nosy.
Here's a LIKE200i which was hit-and-runned (sounds like a baseball play), hit-skipped then.
Fellow lived down the street from me.
Van pulling out of Walmart hit him in the side - sped away.
Rider broke L arm.
Never solved.
Seeing this scooter go by my work every day is the reason I got interested in buying one.

Well, I went up to Gainesville with the new Pirelli Angels in hand, and a bunch of tools too. I filled up my pancake compressor before leaving. When I arrived, I saw the rear tire still had tread but just slipped off of the bead. I also noticed that she had bent both brake handles. The compressor had enough air volume to pop it back on the bead. The damage was to the front fender (toast) the silver muffler guard and the right rear cowl which was split but barely scratched. Solano, one of the vendors listed in the previous post and where I purchased the bikes for the girls, is there in town. Since it needed more than the tires that day, I decided to just take it in and have them do the work.
I was not a fan of Solano for after-sale service. However, something has changed for the better. It seems that they now have kind of a concierge model there. The mechanic walks you through everything. Very good experience, other than the Kymco site caused some delays not the fault of Solano. I was pleasantly surprised. 40 bucks for the front fender, 100 bucks for the rear cowl. I thought both prices were reasonable. I was very happy with the service there this time. I was actually regretting going in there, to be honest. Tires installed, fluids changed, both brake handles replaced and installed, plastics purchased and installed, 300 bucks. I don't think that is bad at all. I know, tires, brake handles, service, and plastics are all easy DIYs. But, the bike is 250 miles away, it's done and it is guaranteed. Worth every penny for me. I was able to spend the rest of my day with my daughter which is priceless.
I did not take pics but my daughter did. I'll get them and post them.
I want to sincerely thank all of you for taking the time to help us out. It is very much appreciated! I do hope to be able to return the favor.
