Ts1,

I've been to Germany a few times and love driving around, everywhere really. The Autobahn is great but can be scary the back country roads that seem to connect every small town, each with they're own bed & breakfast, church and cafe' is simply wonderful way to live IMO.

I'd love to make part of that ride one day but know I never will have that chance. Am glad you shared your trip with us, as Mr. green said, I was right there with you, having been to parts of Germany you mentioned made all those memories even more clear in my mind.

Why do you still keep two relatively similar scoots?

I just found out now that PCX was the bestseller in Europe in 2011. (23.000 sold units).
This is interesting because I saw none where I live.

You consider the Honda PCX and the People 250 similar?

What scooter do you ride.
Kymco Xciting. The old version with mirrors mounted on the sides of the chassis and not on the handle bar.

Some people think an 18 yr old girl and 65 yr old women are similar, they both have legs, walk and talk. Both scoots have 2 wheels, roll, and are powered by ICE's.

Other then that I'd say they are pretty far apart. But this is AXY we're talking about, I'm sure they share some obscure part made in the same factory, or they both have mirrors and seats.

Both would be similar if the same person is riding the two...  ;D ;D ;D

You need to learn about being sarcastic.

More similar than say an Agility 125 and a People S250?  In what way?

I'm running straight 30w, it's the best for break in and works when it's cold out too!
My bike seams to run cold, I'm thinking of putting some cardboard over the radiator
to help it warm up.
