July 28 2023 Two photos: I was told to look like a tough-guy. Looks more like a scowl. A good call either way. It's pretty much the real me, on a good day. Fifth year for this zippy 200 cc scooter. And yes I'm (politely) hell on wheels, at least when there's traffic around. Else, I take my sweet time. Trying to hold off on getting a Suzuki 650 until I wear out the scooter. The scooter actually does great on the freeway at 60 mph. The speedometer goes up to 80 mph. Never tried to see how fast it will actually go. Hard to justify the 650, maybe. But if one wants to go on a long road trip in the mountains with their dog in a side car, then that just might justify it. The scooter makes for a very comfortable recliner with its luggage compartment serving as a back rest. Great for coffee breaks at Holiday gas stations: back to archives |
