my first real ride

sprinxyRider · 06-30-2007, 11:54 PM

ok so it was a tiny one a super tiny one. it started off at the westminster walmart then I decided to be daring and go other places. I rode 5 miles YAY... and I checked it out to see if I was brave enough to make it to my work place and I think I did rather well. I onlymissed my turn because the person behind me didnt let me pass... but its ok I turned off at the stop light instead..

I think my slower speed may have annoyed some but they werent all like honking at me, nor were they yelling at me

overall a success I think I will go for a ride tomorrow after work I seen a nice scenic spot near by my new place I'd like to check out.

No worries, My bike tops out at maybe 55 right now. I am almost ready for the next step..Just need my pocket book to grow some more. 35 Is more than enough for most basic in town riding..Might check in the scoot section and see if anyone has found ways to get a better top speed.

Let them honk and smile while you are getting 100mpg.

After you get some experience on the scooter you will probably get ready for some more power.

When you decide to let your dad tune it up, it's more likely to help that 20mph uphill speed than to give you much more top end. Likely just 2-3 mph more on topend, but more oomph for those hills is really nice.

now there's an idea! he can play with it later I guess he been playing around with it and that would explain why I have half a tank of gas now hmmmmm. LOL he pretends he is on a motorcycle making all the noises and sound effects LOL so funny he really needs a motorcycle again ^_^ make him happy.

no because I when I need a good laugh I cannot be on a scooter. Watching him on that is sooo damn funny. He is a rather big guy on a tiny scooter LOL. I would be distracted riding I would be too busy laughing.
