I headed for one of the parks today and shot some birds. The Bald Eagle and the bird in the upper right corner (unidentified) which is bluish looking. Taking the scooter makes it easy to get around and on a nice day as today was..you can't beat it. The Eagle and the other bird were shot at approximately 1/2 mile away and blown up.

You guys sent chills through me being I felt more than just a read on your mishaps. Years ago, I was drug 35-50 yds on the turnpike due to a front tire blow-out at 65-70 mph. According to state police that was the distance of the start at blowout to stop. Hope you don't mind here but all I want to to say is never use a new tire if it sat in very hot roof rafters after about 4-5 years. Such as even one post I read on here about one using a tire that looked flawed next to the rim. ....get rid of it..go new..with best you can buy. I can feel all this bad mishaps people report along with all the bike deaths on the roads anymore. Be safe everyone..expect the unexpected.

Like always, I thought I knew where my operators manual was for my 550 RI..wrong..I just couldn't figure where I placed it. So, would someone please tell me the exact Qt. Capacity of my scooter? !! I went to download a manual but I fell short of finding where to get it. Thanks.

Years ago on a large bike on the turnpike going 70 the front tire blew, it was new never used before. After 4-5 years sitting in the rafters of a hot gararge not know was that the tire had sarted dry rotting enough to build up pressure and blow. I can give a accident report here from state police and me but it bothers me to even think about it. Whenever there is a tire question all I can say is get rid of it or them and go new. I was very very lucky.

Stopped at a light, a bucket truck comes from my left turning to his left. Light turned, I happened to be first behind the truck. What I thought was large volume of exhaust fumes blowing out behind him, I quickly noted it was a white fine powder. Backing off quickly and slowing traffic behind me, I noted my leather jacket was covered with this unknown white stuff. Looking over the bike, it too was covered as well as a coating of it on my pull down face mask. I was about a block behind him and looking at him still blowing off an unknown substance. I turned off to my destination, parked and had to take
a towel out of my box and start wiping all this stuff off everywhere. Yes, I was pissed enough to go home, contact the police
department and was asked to contact the mayor, which I did. The mayor was very concerned about my report and was to follow up on all this. In looking up the trucking firm on the internet, I phoned them with a answering service and only left a phone number but never received a return..this was prior to calling the mayor. No end here to this story yet but I will put in here whatever the results will be. No, I couldn't see whether the bed was covered which is the law. Big Concern here too, what did I breath in???

The site was last updated...1/6/10...wonder how up to date it is?

I had my 500 for about 6 months or so. Like a Lion growing up! My growl is ever present and louder plus seemingly to have a certain amount of vibration along with that. Actually, sort of embarassing for a big unit like this.

I know people are way ahead of me and a question I failed to ask on here...where does one look to determine what sex your unit is in order to name it!!! Just a bit of humor!
