Making my last car payment this month and decided to buy this as a second vehicle. It's the smartest thing to get around a big city in the warm months(read, without snow). Runs on less than $3 of gas a week. Top speed 45 mph.
My new toy...I mean scooter. :)

I have flames in mind, but my bikes have priority right now. Must clean the shop before my Hannan frame is ready. I know you guys want to see a splash of rattle can flat black, but it ain't gonna happen on this one. Besides, it's shared property with my better half. :wink:
Ahh no mixin oil.. If I could find a scoot big enough for me I'd get one
Yeah, I know Hugo they are much better. Unfortunately Vespa's require a motorcycle license here to operate. A complicated and expensive proposal, this one doesn't since it's under 50cc.Hugo said:
the guy I'm sharing my garage with has a Lambretta. Don't ask me on details like model and stuff but it looks pretty cool. Next time I'm in the garage I'm gonna make some photos. There are also some Vespas waiting to be awakened from their slumber.Hugo said:
Besides my bike projects I'm restorating a '79 Simson Schwalbe from former east germany. It's got a 50ccm 2 stroke engine and does about 70km/h. Will be done in Moon Eyes style
Here's my daughter on her steed, Honda Metro/Jazz. Notice the snow still on the ground and the gear she's wearing testifies on the cold conditions still remaining here. She's a hardcore rider and Daddy is proud.
David, it's a Chironex designed in Canada and built in...hugh...China. I hesitated before buying but the performance and price is unmatched for what is available here in that size. $2000 brand new with a 2 year warranty, 4 stroke and disc brake up front. My daughter's Honda is a 2003 and it had 13 000 km when I bought it last summer for $1900. Could have bought something cheaper, but she wanted a Met and they are hard to find used.

Thanks Gerry, any scoot is a good scoot in my opinion, as long as it runs. Ive found they are a whole lot more trouble free than motorcycles. And it puts a bigger smile on my face than any motorcycle can. Cant beat 100 mpg either. Check out urbanscootin.com sometime as far as scooter forums go, its kinda slow right now with it bein so cold and all, but almost as friendly as this bunch here on RRB. A few Canukistanians on there too. :mrgreen:
Nice set of wheels..CCR said:
