I always get a laugh when I hear the time-worn "American Bike" line. Back in the 80's when HD finally made a move towards improvement with the Evo Motor; they made a very big deal about the retooling. What they didn't say but was revealed by several enthusiast publications was the all new machine tools HD purchased to make the new motor were from....wait for it....Japan! So every red, white and blue, made in America Harley owes the build quality to a Japanese daddy! So desuka!

It's hot here in Texas but I try to stay protected...

Open face helmet with a peak
Mesh jacket
Deerskin gloves...deerskin is WAY cooler than other leathers or synthetics
Jeans
Tennies

Slow and go traffic is the worst when it's hot and that's where scooters really shine over bikes...

Upright riding position keeps you off your wrists
Auto tranny is a blessing
Motor location and body panels keep the engine heat at bay

I only get scooter disrespect from one guy...the fellow who does state inspections for me. A lot of my bikes come up due in the same month so I'll show up for inspections a few times in one day. After bringing in my scooter, if I show up next on a motorcycle, he always gives me, "Finally, a REAL bike!" with a lot histrionics.

In SE Asia there are parking lot attendants who make tips by placing cardboard over the seats of parked bikes. But the well equipped scooterist gets one of these. Reflective and has front and rear elastic straps.

Lol, MJR...it's just an opinion ostensibly presented in an open forum. No need to get cranky.

The Venox, being a motorcycle, has a conventional manual tranny so it's gonna have a brake and a clutch lever on the bars. Like Stig says, there's a lot on ebay; just look for ones that have a deep dog leg shape for smaller hands.

Ya, I'm getting into this naming bikes after hand tools thing! Spade, huh. Will they come out with a 50cc Trowel? 100cc Pitchfork? Or maybe my favorites, the 50cc Little Hoe and the 500cc Fat Hoe?
