Country:  | Oh... and don't ride down the center of the road. Stay out of the oil slick. Ride to one side or another. And always remember that when cornering, keep your head (eyes) parallel with the ground.
Enjoy! There truly is nothing more fun than riding a motorcycle. Especially if you can get her away from traffic and enjoy a back road with some curves and beautiful scenery.

And may I add ..No one see's you and do not think they do ...Please ware gloves... A bike rides first get off people put there arms out strate and hands out and the pom and hands can really get hurt...They only do that once ...Then you learn to do the four arm thing..The mechanics gloves they sale are good to ride with..They have some the let air in on the back side...
Look were you want to go and do not target fix on the front wheel.. If you see one kid or animal theres always two..Cars have blind spots on the sides..Ether ride in front or behind ..Not in blind spot..A woman in a car full of kids is deadly..Ether get on the gas and get away from the bozo driving the cage (car)...Or give the cage driver his way..75% of braking is on the front wheel..25% on the back .. Learn to use the front brake ..A lot of riders do not use the front brake...Give'm hell Mr Cheese..

Country: | My thanks to all you lads for your advise. I havn't been on a motor scooter
in 58 years !! I have to re-learn all that I've forgotten. I'm doing ok, but
I'm still shakey on take offs and a take off going right into a turn. I will
get the hang of it, tho....

Country: | Matt: The dealer only had two helmets in a 'small' size [I wear a 6 1/2 hat].
One was the one I bought and the other was made by/for Vespa and it was
a full face version, with colored slide up/down face pieces. It was $288.00 !
I had my share of idiot this morning. I'm doing 25 MPH in a 25 zone and
some nut is blowing his horn. He finally passed me.

Country: | Erich: Don't think I could handle pedaling to work. Besides, who wants to
be sweaty & smelly all day ? If we had a shower at the shop it might be different.

Country: | Mr.C, I use to work for Colonial Chevrolet on Va. Beach Blvd. so I know how it goes with being over charge for absolutely nothing in reference to RK Chevrolet. Are they still on Military Hwy. or is that Casey? Nice ride, BE SAFE!

Country: | Njaco. That was funny.
I suppose we have totally stripped any fun out of Mr. C's new toy. I'm ashamed.
Phew. Now that that mood is overwith... back to Breaking News.

Nice ride, BE SAFE! | Colonial Chev/Cadillac is in about the 6000 block of Va. Beach Blvd, at
Kempsville Road. RK Chevrolet is on Va. Beach Blvd., right at Lynnhaven
Pkwy. There is another RK Chev. on Military Highway, in Chesapeake.
Casey Chev. is in Hampton.
Filled it up with gas tonight [from the can I use for the lawn mower] so I
can check the mileage. Will report when the gas warning light comes on.
That means I have 1.5 liters left.
I'm lovin' it !!

Country: | Had my first encounter with what I guess was an irate motorist, this morning.
I'm tooling down Holland Road at about 35 (speed limit is 45) and some
turkey throws a tied up newspaper at me ! Hit me square in the back, then
he hauls butt down the road. I didn't dump the scooter, but I did lose control
and drove into someone's driveway before I stopped.
Wonder who pee'd in his corn flakes ??
