I am in the process of moving and picked up my Like from the dealership this morning.  So, I needed to take it to my new home.  So, I jumped on the highway with my fiance following me.  73 miles later and we arrived at her house.  Full throttle the entire time and my Like never skipped a beat.  On top of that, it averaged 54 mpg while at full throttle!

Awesome! The more I hear and see the Like's the more I want one. I did something similar on my Yager last year, and it finally made me see that these scoots were made to last. just make sure you remove the plug from the drainage tube just in case there's some condensation or gunk build up from the hard ride.

Geeze! Next time you do something like that, have her snap a photo of you out there at full song on the freeway!
I seem to have the only photos of a LIKE rider from behind - though certainly NOT at full song....I think I was doing about 25mph in the park when my daughter took the snap.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Fun ride!  How fast do you think you were going most of the time?

For the most part, I was cruising between 57-60 mph the entire way.  However, there was one point when I got passed by an 18 wheeler (it was a 4 lane highway so plenty of room) that was barely going faster than me.  When he passed me, he got over into my lane and immediately my speed increased because I was in his draft.  I let off the throttle when my speedo showed 65 mph! 

Not once did the engine seem like it was struggling or winding out too high, even when I drafted that big rig. 


In the future I'll get my fiance to park on the side of the highway and video tape me as I pass her doing 60+.
