Title: Scooter Forums
Post by: wkreps on May 20, 2014, 01:53:50 AM
As much as I enjoy kymcoforum.com, I find myself looking for other forums to peruse. Care to share where you have to give a daily look to see what's going on in the scooter world.

Just take any scooter manufacture or even the scooter species and google. Also try maxiscooters with a dot com. Lots of forums out there. I daily follow five of varying types, but mostly maxis. My first forum viewed each day is Kymcoforum of course. By the way my new Downtown 300 is getting to be more enjoyable everyday. :D :D :D

Thanks Amac. I've seen Adventure Rider quoted a couple times here and that is what brought this topic up. I'll definitely check them out.

I was not certain of the protocol of submitting other forum addresses. Here is what I follow daily. Good to see some others, so I will check them out also. As some background, I previously (a month ago) owned an Aprillia Atlantic 500 (maxi-scooter), so that may explain some of my choices.

Aprilia has the most Tech info going. DOn't mention the Trail Tech Temp unit. They will run you off w/ torches.

Just remember, there's nice sections of ADV and then there's the rest..  I've been on there for over 10 years and it's one of the only forums that I have numerous people on ignore.. I just recommend you don't visit the Basement.. 15% of the people in there are there to argue, and nothing else.. Internet tough guys..

The scooters and the regional sections are very nice, with tons of info and people who will go out of their way to help someone in need.

Just remember to tread lightly.. I've met lifelong friends (people I get together with several times a year) and I've met a couple people that I wouldn't stop and pee on if they were on fire.

I've never understood the desire to be an ass 24 hours a day, or strive to piss people off.. I'm on forums to learn and share, and have good hearted fun.. I guess I'm just a simpleton..

There are china scoot forums that I refuse to visit as I would have to put 90% of the members on ignore. Most are platforms created to be "sand boxes" for the owners and his friends. There are three that are all the same owners/founders. Go figure.

ADV is well modded in comparison.

It's a very simple formula that I posted recently...

You can not please everybody no matter how hard you try. BUT you sure as hell can piss them all off.

Strength in numbers.

The Battle scooter forum on ADV is great.  The ride reports and day trippin sections have far better ride reports than any other forum I've seen but are mostly motorcycle reports.  There are some scooter ride reports.
