Not to one-up you klav, but this is my odometer reading today on the Cali Classic 200i (separate post coming)

I always preferred analog odometers for this sort of thing.  It's cool watching all the digits rolling over at once.

It's good to see someone racking up some miles on a small scooter.

We won't be dead!  It's only a few years from now!  Try to focus: the question is "will gas-powered scooters be banned after 2030 along with cars?  Or will gas-powered scooters be exempt?"

Cars will only be banned in a few locations by 2030 and even that is likely to be pushed back.  Much of the world will still be buying ICE powered vehicles well past 2030.  These bans mostly apply to the selling of new vehicles.  This means ICE vehicles will be on the road until well past 2050.  Where I live they are building gas stations like crazy. 

Recent news articles show that the demand for electric vehicles is below what is expected and many manufacturers are scaling back plans for EVS in the immediate future at least for the USA. 

It's a little late but Happy Thanksgiving from Alabama.  I'll be going on a post Thanksgiving ride tomorrow.

I joined this forum back in November of 2010.  That's when i bought my first scooter, a 2009 Kymco Super 8 150.  I don't have that scooter anymore but it is still the scooter I put the most miles on with over 33,000 miles before selling it to a friend. 

I last adjusted the valves on my like at 11,500 miles.  The recommended interval is every 5K miles but I didn't check them again until today at 22,000 miles.  I could have waited another 5 or 10K as they barely needed adjustment.  The Intakes had loosened to .005 Inches from .004 so I adjusted them.  The exhausts had not moved so I left them alone.

As with many modern scooters removing and replacing the plastics is a PITA while the actual mechanical work is pretty simple.

I rode this one too.







This one was less than Ginormous.



After I finished the Demo rides I got on my 290 pound, 13 HP Like 150i and rode home.   Quite a contrast!

The India Demo truck came to town so I went and rode some.

This thing was FAAAAAST!



Most of the other bikes I rode were Huuuge and had a price tag to match.

Good man yourself Klav!

Thanks!

My ride yesterday was a bit smoother but still fun.
