These things are made to run after riding or sitting in the rain. I've ridden in the rain many times.
Where did you put the water?

C’mon Stig, that’s a plenty big enough gap… isn’t it? 😱
I know truck drivers are pros...and I wasn't really concerned.
But he's 50% into my painted parking rectangle!
I toyed with the idea of moving my scooter closer - for more dramatic photo-op🙃

Duddy,
I believe that LED headlight bulbs have been used successfully by a few LIKE200I owners.
You might start a new thread to get their latest experiences.

You're confusing me!  This is your posting on the forum but I don't see the link to the YouTube video.  I thought you were guiding us to the video but I guess you are asking the forum members if they know of a Youtube to visually explain how to remove the body panels and do the valve adjustment.  Right?
Well, no.
I was asking LIKE150I owner/members to make a YouTube of their panel procedure when doing a valve adjustment.
Surely owners are doing valve adjustments on their 150i's?
Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe they're just not into making yutubes.

I told Dino that this morning....
Then he smiled at me, while stirring my coffee with his finger.

Ed said, "what!?...did you expect a hug?!"

Too clever for my own good some mornings.

General Discussion / about to turn 20,000 miles on the LIKE200iLX
« on: May 25, 2024, 04:32:06 PM »
I noticed on the speedo this morning....
Next week or three I will hit 20,000 miles on the LIKE - purchased new @ May 2013.
There were several weeks when I was only riding one scooter - while the LIKE was in the shop for warranty work.

So I figure I've ridden 40,000 miles on scooters since 2013, because I've always alternated rides with at least one other scooter.
I owned 3 Honda motorcycles in my early days, (before joining the games in Vietnam)  - all new. Loved them each!...but never kept mileage records.
I know there are guys here who've ridden that many in 2 yrs.
But - that is my number.

General Discussion / Memorial W/E off to a great start!
« on: May 25, 2024, 03:18:34 PM »
Yesterday - daughter needed to use a laundromat for some large items - so good excuse to use the one in Yellow Springs!
Then, we hit Miguel's food truck for his great tacos!


Finding a place to sit with food is a bit of a dice roll in YS - but the UnderDog makes their patio available , once their patrons are seated. (or buy a muffin from the 'Dog and camp out there!)


back to the tacos - the side sauces are.....violent!


Y.S. will be very busy this holiday w/e. Lots of folks and flags out already yesterday (Fri)



Stig

PS: a young deer walked past us on the sidewalk as we exited the laundromat! In the village center traffic and crowds - the poor thing looked sacred and lost - "how to find my way back to the forest?" Sadly - it was headed in the wrong direction.

I have had the Vespa for about 3 months and have over 2,000 miles on it.

As for the prison it is now a tourist attraction with tours, a restaurant, events and even concerts.  It happened to be closed on Monday when I was there but the gate was open so I rode in.

Some info:  https://tourbrushy.com/

Some interesting history:  https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2018/03/25/manhunt-mountains-james-earl-ray-and-brushy-mountain-prison-breakout-1977/437795002/

Klav,
Half the time I can't remember where I've parked.....
did you already do a nice compar-o review of your Vespa vs your LIKE?
Ride quality, etc?

cc's?

Thanks, Stig

Klav!
How long have you owned that Vespa?

I had been enjoying your nice photos of your LIKE150i.....or have I?!


BTW:; state penitentiaries are not happy places to visit.
Years ago I accompanied a lady friend in California to visit her husband in Chino State Pen.
I came to understand why she didn't like going alone!
