People s200 / The Roads In Minneapolis/Saint Paul
« on: May 08, 2011, 09:12:00 PM »
Hi All,
Been out riding around and we cannot seem to get a break In the weather, and winter has been a longtime going. The Roads here In Minneapolis/ Saint Paul are In deplorable/Appalling Condition, Lyndale Avenue South Between 50th & 60 th looks like It has been shelled by mortars!!! The roads here In general are In the worst shape I have ever seen them. A Pothole In diameter of 24 " and at least 9 " deep are not at all un-common
So be careful all !! And wear that safety gear !!!

« on: June 18, 2010, 05:18:25 PM »
All Fixed, it was the Rubber Bumper for the Center Stand fell off and the Center Stand was vibrating on the CVT Cover. Mechanic at Scooterville told me when I picked up my Scoot That Its nice to work on a Scooter that the rider takes pride In ownership!! Mechanic said that when he took off the Valve Cover It was so clean he could have eaten a Bowl Of Cereal out of the Cover.
Thanks to all the great Mechanics at Scooterville, esp. Coleman!!
Have A Great Weekend Everyone!!

People s200 / S-200 Making A Strange Noise
« on: June 16, 2010, 01:27:11 PM »
Hi All,
My 2008 S-200 Is making a strange noise. It Is a somewhat grinding.. Whoosh-Whoosh noise. Not metallic like brake shoes would make. I had It In a couple of weeks ago and the service dept. took apart the rear wheel assembly and checked/ cleaned the rear brake drum, that produced/showed no problems. My Scoot has almost 5000 miles on It and has been impeccably maintained. Any ideas? I have my Scoot in the shop right now and I am having them have another look at It as well as anything that needs to be done at 5000 miles, They are changing the Spark Plug as well, and I change the Oil every 1000 miles. It Is at Scooterville here In Minneapolis.
Thats the shop I bought It at. If you live In the Twin Cities Metro Area, Scooterville Is the only clear choice for all of your Scootering needs.Sales , Service, and a truly great staff all the way around.
Have A Great Day & Wear That Safety Gear!!!

Hi All,
Returned to work today after a 7 week hiatus, I had a Total Replacement of My Right Hip Feb. 1st.feeling a little bit sore today on the first day back. On a lighter note I put the Battery In my S-200 last Wednesday,started right up,and went for a ride around the neighborhood.Wind and Sun on my face felt just terrific!! Also placed the Battery In my wife's Genuine Buddy 125, It started right up as well after a long winded winter here In Minnesota,lots of Snow and plenty cold this winter.High today of 59 , just texted my wife and told her we are going for a Scoot this afternoon.
Hope everyone is doing well, we are awaiting the opening of Target Field The New Home Of The Minnesota Twins,should present some interesting situations business wise,being right In The Heart Of The Warehouse District.
Take Care Everyone And Wear That Safety Gear..
