After owning a 150 cc scooter, is it possible to  like a larger scooter.I keep looking at larger scooters (250's and 400's) but they just don't seem to be as metro oriented as the 150. The super 8 seems to be a do it all scooter and to top it off it is a very maneuverable ride. The only flaw so far is the stiff suspension and storage (no place for garage door opener).
Anyone out there gone from a 150 to 250 and are sorry to have done so?How much difference is there in turning and city riding. The mpg's are near the same unless everyone is stretching the truth  about gas mileage.

got pockets!

I don't know about guys (gals) but I am constantly learning  a "new not to do" thingie. If you aren't killed making these little mistakes then you may say you are lucky. But , you may not always be so lucky.
Every time you board your ride you must remind your self you are riding a scooter not driving a car. Get you head straight before you begin your ride.
Always practice making your turns sharp and tight need to or not . One wide turn might be your last.It will become automatic. It is my opinion that you never head for the center lane until you have first entered the lane closest to you. From there merge if you need to.
When riding in safe zones we become complacent and then enter a hazard zone with some of that complacent attitude, and that is where we may make a deadly error. You have treat all zones as if they are hazard zones so you don't get caught off guard.
I' m sure some of you can add some experience or good habit you have obtained in your months and years of riding. I was almost clipped today and only because of a wide turn I made. The driver in the car could've cared less and buzzed on by. Good thing he wasn't multitasking!

search no workie,,,sucks,,,,may as well eliminate it...

This has to do wth a previous post in eye candy called "Knight Riderz".I have installed them on my scoot on the trunk carrier. I did this so there is no pluging and unpluging of wires etc.  
So what you do is get a small piece of angle metal ,or make one by bending the thin metal on a vice (90*). Then while holding (clamping) to (under) the trunk carrier rack ,drill two holes into metal from above drilling through rack at same time. this is where two 6/32 screws and nuts will mount to bracket that will hold the Knight Riderz lights . The lights come with sticky tape and holds fine but you must drill  hole for wires to pass through on bracket. I also countersunk screws to keep a  smooth surface.
I bought my bracket material  from Home Depot and is a perforated stud nail support that I bent in vice.  It was near the same size of light strip with small amount cutting (hack saw) needed. My carrier rack (givi) was black so I painted bracket black .Don't forget to file surfaces to remove sharp edges. With a small amount of time this a mod you will apprediate having done for your safety and nice looks.
With the trunk off the light is up high and very noticable,with rack ,,with trunk on tail light below this light is very much more noticeable. Very easy mod and wires into existing tail light wires.

icon- tarmac boots are good , not too hich or too low,,,be sure to know your size (they run about 1/2 size small)  when ordering and do not forget to get a long shoe horn (just eases getting them on),,,you will like them
when I took msf class my instructor spoke of hitting a bull when riding home one night night.He said he could have gone home un injured but for his foot getting badly scraped while sliding on pavement.Spent four days in hospital getting skin grafts. He was waring sneakers  (canvas shoes).
Needles to say , I wear boots!

fyi-This a basic course in stators and theory that cause electric flow in your scooter.May be helpful in the future for trouble shooting shutdowns etc. It is interesting to say the least.
