Yeah, I've only been riding for a few months, and I've almost ate it on a turns taking turns to tight. Especially when I for to op the kickstand up, whoops!

I thought most scooters had kill switches in them that kill the engine if you had the kickstand down, or bring it down while it is running.

I was up in the Wisconsin Dells this weekend. Nice to see a town that is scooter friendly :)

I installed a new spark plug in my Vino 125 last week. It is amazing how much better one of those iradium plugs work. It used to take me 15 seconds of cranking to get my vino started if I had not ridden it in the last 2 weeks, now its' about 2-3 seconds.

2strokebuzz has a pretty depressing article about the state of the scooter industry. It isn't good.

I guess unless gas prices go up, people want their cars too much.

I'm digging the black and army greenish mini scooter.

Do you have to have an ipod to use it? Sorry officer, I left my ipod touch at home, I couldn't see how fast I was going.

Anyone think that if gas keeps going up we'll see another resurgence of scooters?

Man what a weird spring.

I was able to ride for one day in February. It was like 65 for a freaky day.

Then I was able to ride yesterday. Almost spring...

I have a vino 125 and if I have left it sitting for a week+, even with a battery tender, it struggles to startup. It can take 20+ seconds of trying to kick over to start. Anyone have any idea why?

I put in a new spark plug last fall.

I use 87 octane gas.

Any idea? The scooter is only a few years old and I change the oil once a year. It has always been like this since I got it though.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a tire pressure gauge? I'd love one that just screwed on or something with a tube.

Someone is selling a MP3 500 near me for 4600 bucks with only like 500 miles. Should I???

Yea Nebraska is really bad with scooter laws. It needs pedals, or it's a motorcycle.

According to 2SB, all MP3s have been slashed for the year, with the exception of maybe the MP3 Yourban or whatever the gently caress that is going to be.

I like the looks of that MP3. Too bad the vespa dealer in my town pulled out last year. I think all we have left is a yamaha and a genuine place.

I'd say it looks like one of those "Smart Scooters" or the mini cooper scooter thing, but I don't think any of those are actually out.

Maybe one of these?

I zip-tied a milk crate onto the back of my elite and it stays pretty good with a 12 pack and a bag of groceries. I just make sure to keep most of the weight right on top of the rack where it's sturdiest.


I also found out that you cant pick up a starbucks on the way to work when you're scootin :(

Cup holder?

I was around Iowa City over the weekend and I was impressed with how many scooters were out and about. I probably saw more in an hour than I've seen in all of Omaha for the last 3 years.

Any MP3 owners here?

Considering upgrading to something a little beefier, considering the Vino 125 struggles above 53 or so for me, and there are too many high ways in the area.

I like the look of the scooter, but where is the storage at?

I like the look of that Yamaha 3 wheeler mp3 ripoff, but drat if 125 cc isn't too small. I have enough trouble with my 125 cc scooter if it's a super windy day above 45 mph. If they had a 250 cc one, I'd buy it in a second... Also a lot easier to find a yamaha dealer in the area than a Piaggio dealer.
