Eye Candy | Videos and Pics / if van Gogh rode a scooter....
« on: May 29, 2024, 08:00:37 PM »
OK - bit of a stretch - after I got home the other morning, this photo reminded me of something I'd seen before.





Not that I've seen the original, which is in the Netherlands.
This painting came to be known as Vincent's, Cafe' Terrace At Night
....BUT, when first displayed the title was,  "Coffeehouse, in the evening" ~!


that's all I got....

While riding this morning I watched one of those little side-walk, french-fry eating, sparrows chasing a squirrel across the street right in front of me!
Funniest thing - that large squirrel had his tail up and was really beating feet to get away from that tiny bird which was right on his butt!

...an example of some kind of physics? or?

Eye Candy | Videos and Pics / planned a Mem Day rain ride...but no!
« on: May 28, 2024, 03:08:57 PM »
Went to bed after laying out my wet gear for rainy/dark sunrise ride on Memorial Day. I kind of enjoy the challenge and senility serenity of dark rain rides!

Ah....but no. The band of storms passed before I could join in! I'm the blue dot.



So, out watching for downed branches and puddles hiding pot holes!

Moon over field of young corn


Pond, Y.S.


once in the village, I walked down to collect the chess pieces - thinking the storm must have scattered them.
Nope~! - they are nicely weighted!





Very nice morning for a ride. Traffic very light!...not that there is ever very much at sunrise.

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🙃

LIKE 200i / Re: Like 200i as an external battery charger

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.
