| At least you're mobile! Take the exhaust/ rev limiter off, you'll get at least another 15mph. Sshh! I didn't tell you that, it's probably illegal in the 'States!!! |

| Just one thing Trebor I hope you have all gear, helmet, gloves, jacket preferably leather and at least kevlar lined pants. It might just be a scooter but ashphalt takes skin off at any speed. Best of luck with the riding.

| I got 3 helmets. but I don't like leather....animal rights. thanks, you guys and it's mileage is 85 MPG. though it has a 1.5 gallon tank, and I have to mix oil and gas. plus I have to run it for a few minutes every day to keep the battery charged or it will die.

I woudl also suggest taking a Motorcycle Safety course as well. On thing I learned is that a huge majority of Motorcyle accidents (or any vehicle accident for that matter) happen when someone takes a left turn in front of you, or someone coming from your left hand side, or you making a left in front of someone else. I've watched this over the years and it is the truth. So keep your head on a pivot while out riding, just because you see them, doesn't mean they see you. Make eye contact with people at intersections if at all possible, that way they have a better chance of actually knowing you are there, they still miss seeing you sometimes though. Hope I didn't frighten you, just wanted to give you a heads up on what to look for. Have fun, but be safe.
