New Kymco rider, howdy!

[MikeSSS]

Hi,

I'm Mike in San Antonio.  The scoot is a People S 200, new to me and red in color.  It came 'home' a week ago and has been running just fine. 

The S 200 is basically the S 125 but with a larger bore increasing the engine size to 163 cc.  A surprise was how well this scoot keeps up with traffic.

Saddle up pards, let's ride!

Welcome.
Is this your first scooter?

[MikeSSS]

Not my first, that was a Lambretta Li 150 in 1965.  There have been a variety of motorcycles since then but I've always wanted another scoot.  I'd really like a 62, 63 or 64 Lambretta but could not find one and besides I'm too lazy to keep one running. 

The S 200 is used, in a hundred miles of riding it has worked perfectly.  The transition to twist n go has been surprisingly easy but clutch and foot brake still seem more natural. 

Lust:  Lambrettas, Vespas, Stellas, Honda Super 90, Honda 305 Scrambler, Harley K model, Triumph Bonneville, BSA 650, Norton Commando, Kawasaki Mach III, and on and on...

Where did you buy it (scooter store)?

I'll swap where you live for where I live aslong as we can swap scoots also lol. Great place/weather for a scoot :-)

When I first got my Super 8 I grabbed a bunch of rear brake a few times trying to pull in the clutch

Have you done that yet?

Got it at The Motorcycle Shop on Austin Highway, here in San Antonio.  They are primarily a scooter shop. 

We rented a twist n go 150 in Panama City Beach a couple years ago.  I grabbed the "clutch" and danced for the foot brake for the first 45 minutes.  Have not done that on the S 200, yet.

Filled the tank today and then put the scoot on the side stand in the garage.  It is on the center stand now and I expect the gasoline smell to be gone in a few days.

It sure is nice to have some storage space on the bike.  It is also nice to have electric start. 

Life is good when you are scoot'n right along.

Glad you are enjoying the scooter.

A bit cooler up here in Arkansas, but we rode Saturday... out to watch the the Polar Bear Plunge.
Glad we were only observing!

Scoot Safely,

You won't miss that clutch at all when you come to a stop on a hill for a light or such!

Yep, it sure is nice not to roll backward or have to have the foot on the brake. 

A large windshield for the Peep should be in this coming week.  It should make for better cool weather riding and for quieter riding.
