Felt good to ride again
« on: January 18, 2017, 04:46:45 PM »
Took off yesterday for a nice long ride - cut a bit short when I realized I'd taken off with less than half a tank of gas! No gas stations where I was headed.

The LIKE200i does not have a big tank, at 1.5 gal.

And really wouldn't want much more than that, as it is perched up there above the engine...like a waiting bomb. (reminds me of the first VW Transporters....with the fuel tank sitting on a shelf above the engine. At least the driver was pretty far forward.  One kept a broom handle to check your fuel level.)
 
 

On an overcast day I could really see the orange color of the new Philips headlight bulb.





Crazy winter - that lake has been frozen over twice so far - and thawed again.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

A little confusion on my part that you could perhaps clear up: what is that green stuff in your photos? Everything here is white!  :o

I'm pretty sure a wider shot would show a Transit Van that Stig uses to transport that very shiny scooter to scenic locations.  :)

Looks too clean to me too.
