  Don't start the pizza party with out me!
 Hope spring time allows for hubby and I to visit NC with scooter/Venox in tow.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to skid in broadside , thoroughly used up , totally worn out and loudly proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!!"

Bill, When I lived in RI it was over in the Darlington area. At that time it was near the Narragansett race track next to Slater Park. I still have a cousin who lives on Willigton Street. One of my beat pals at school was Peter Palagi Jr. We used to go down to the creamery and have ice cream right out of the freezer machine!    Len

I am so happy to learning from everyone on here. I have a friend who lives in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. I plan to visit him one of these days. I love pizza and beer. We should party. Now that Feb. is upon us this means the weather starts warming up here in Vegas. Temps for the first week call for temps in the low to mid sixties. You gotta love this. At the end of Feb and the first weekend of March, Downtown Vegas becomes home to the annual HighRollers Scooter Rally. These rallies are always a blast. Happy riding to everyone. 8)

The people will do about 50 on the flats and maybe 55 downhill... Indicated that is... Probably a little more if I really pushed down a steep hill. Of course I have a BBK, Tecnigas pipe, 19mm carb, etc...

I've heard of peoples doing 60 downhill but they are most likely older models. All new Kymco 50s have a restricted rear pulley making it hard to get much more than 50 out of it without replacing the whole rear pulley assembly. I thought about buying a unrestricted pulley but to be honest I'm happy with where it's at now. I have hill climb power and acceleration and 50 is fast enough for me. Not sure what year they started that. Being a 2007 yours may not have that.

Yup...I live in the Darlington area.  No race track anymore...there are 3 shopping centers there now and an industrial park.  Funny about your friend.  My first wife's mother was a Palagi...the same ones that owned the creamery.  Their trucks still come around in the summer and I have a guy that stops in front of my house every weekend...he knows I will buy ice cream if I'm home.  I'm not sure where Willigton street is...I will have to check a map.

HI BILL, are you a PAWSOX fan? I used to play in the stands at Mccoy Stadium when we lived in that part of town. My grandfather was  a huge Sox fan, I still love the RED SOX.   Len
