took a ride down to the southern states store
« on: October 24, 2010, 07:05:30 PM »
...and saw my first kymco since I bought my people.  I'm surprised at how much taller everything is on the agility 50 vs my people 50 2t.  Today was my furthest ride to date.  About 40 miles round trip.  It felt really good to get out and enjoy the fall colors on two wheels.  What a difference I tell ya!   :o

That's great, pedro! I was just thinking that yesterday and today have both been perfect weather for enjoying the fall scenery on a long ride like that!

I was trying to see how much lower the seat sits on that people. Looks like it's might be on the side stand. Could be a couple inches lower. The handlebars sure look a lot lower, though, in that pic from of the back view!

I found me a pair of boots for $3.50 from a local Goodwill store to test how high of a platform I will need. They add a few inches at the back of my foot (I want it taller all the across) and it still seems I might need an extra inch to feel real comfortable on the agility.  :D

So which one you like better?

The agility was up on it's center stand, however the rear tire was still sitting on the ground.   ???

Rianna,

You might fit more comfortably on a people.  I would say the seat is a good 1-2 inches lower than on the agility.

With heels that big, you need to get the shoes that have the goldfish in the heel!

Man, haven't seen anything like that since I saw Kiss in concert 20 years ago!

Pedro, I've got the same as you-black/ brown seat. Love that color scheme. In the spring, I'm having a malossi 71cc kit put on it.

Fall colors still nice on coast of lake michigan. And 70 degrees today! Nice cruising on a curvy road following lake MI. When the leaves start to drop you have awesome sights of lake, and unbelievable mega mansions...

I have never seen this. How would you feed them? LOL! Kiss concert? They had some awesome black costumes, didn't they?  :D

1-2 inches...Dang...I might be too short for the people too, pedro!  :-[

And my rear tire is on the ground when it's on the center stand, too.

nice biker girl boots!!

Thanks, tom. I'm not too comfortable in them, though. They make me feel like I'm walking on my tip toes. I'd prefer something that's flat all the way across when I'm riding the scoot. It was worth the $3.50 just to find a good size. Those Demonia and New Rock boots with the tall platforms cost anywhere from $80 to a couple hundred dollars!!

Just google the term platform shoes with goldfish and you'll see a variety of them.

Don't know how you feed the fish - I kind of assumed they were not live fish but can't say I looked into it.

One can only hope.

Then again, those shoes were associated with the disco era so anything is possible.

I dunno...

Maybe Blue is out there modding up some shoes with piranhas in the heel.
