Post by: Stig / Major Tom on October 21, 2018, 07:36:43 PM

You have leaves......

Or maybe some cold rain.....

But it gets real exciting when you have both, eh?

Gotta love scooter riding in the fall, and in the dark!

was traveling through a public park. I went into a tight corner at low speed. I ran through a patch of pine needles. My rear end slipped enough that my pucker factor reach about a 7. I have also slipped on tar patches.
Thanks for the reminder Stig. If you don`t want to get hurt, be super careful.

Yeah, went for a ride on the 400i yesterday, 44 deg F, pucker factor comes into play with all the leaves falling in New England. The waves were really rough on Narragansett Bay, because we had 20 mph winds. I had a little difficulty driving above 50 mph, the wind was pushing my bike all over the place. Do you guys experience the same thing? I did not like riding in that type of wind. Nice photoshop btw STIG.

I have experienced more wind interference on the 400i with the Givi screen and top case than I have with any other bike/scoot. Not to bad but still surprised me. I'm still getting used to the difference.

Leo, that wind buffeting can be unsettling but just keep your eyes forward and relax almost every machine will go where you are looking. Once you are more or less relaxed the machine seems to make the necessary small corrections.

Thanks for the input Karl, I appreciate the advice. It was a little unnerving, felt like the bike was going to be pushed off the road at times.
