The new scooters!

[Mark Doble]

I was looking for a leather bandanna yesterday on the way home. I am tired of chewing on dust and bugs eh...

Anywho, the bike store was selling 50cc, 125cc, and 250cc scooters. They get like 120mph!

He asked me if I was interested and I said I already had a bike. After showing him my bike he agreed I should not trade it in for a scooter!

In Toronto now you can park free any time with a scooter! :cool:

'Hope you meant 120MPG, rather than MPH ... would hate to see someone go 120 mph on a scooter! :eek: :rolleyes: :p

Always carry toothpicks! :cool:

However early in the morning and late at night I wear a full face helmet to keep the bugs at bay.
During the day I wear the leather bandanna, sunglasses, and a half helmet.

Yep, I've heard stories of guys hitting bumble bees and june bugs and just about getting knocked off their bike.

My best friend, Butch, has a BMW motorcycle and he rides all over the country. He has an old Navy buddy in Arizona. Once a year he rides from Iowa to Arizona and then they go on a road trip somewhere. He always wears a full face helmet, leather suit and boots. One year he just got home. He stopped at the edge of town a bought gas before he went home. He lives a couple miles out of town. It was a hot July day and he took his leather jacket off and stowed it in the back for the last couple miles. Part way home his jacket came loose and got caught in the spokes and wiped him out. He wasn't seriously injured but he was hurting. :basic04

Well, I for one would enjoy seeing it! Just don't want to be the one doing it!

Joel, recall Isadora Duncan. She was in an open touring car, her very, very long scarf became twisted in a wheel and she was strangled to death.
As sad ending to a tragic life.

Mark What make is the bike you on your avatar? And is that the one you ride?
I have always ridden Honda's but thinking about a BMW for my next bike. I'm riding a 1100 Honda Shadow.

Hey Rick,
You make a good choice. My ride is a 1996 1100 Honda - Shadow ACE. A better pic is the one I used for my personal profile pic.
Specificly I like the Cobra heal toe shifter and Hance & Vines pipes. Last night I had her up to about 110 mph. I was there in like seconds.

I do find allot of vibrations though. The foot boards vibrate my feet off. And the side mirrors are fuzzy at 50 mph. I imagine it is because of the single pin cam? Well worth the sound out the tail though!

Overall though I really am glad I got what I got. Not a day goes by that someone adorurs my bike. The original windscreen is a little small with not much adjustment. I get battered around quite a bit in the wind.

But overall, IT IS GLORIOUS EH!:cool:

The leather vest over the front is the original Christian Riders MC colours of 1975.
