General Discussion / Earthquakes and scooters
« on: March 29, 2014, 03:57:53 AM »
 So I was sitting in the living room watching t.v., and a small earthquake hit. My first reaction was to run into the garage and check if my scooter had fallen over. It was O.K. The quake was close by and shallow. There were just two jolts.
 This was my scooters first quake. It got me thinking, what is the best way to keep your scooter from falling over when the ground is bouncing up and down?
 Had the quake been bigger, it could have bounced and fallen over.  I don't have quake insurance on the scooter.

LIKE 200i / 20+ mile ride each way at 35 mph.

 Rode to Long Beach this morning by streets, keeping the speed down. It is about 20 miles to Alamitos Bay Marina. I cruised the beach roads and ended up by the Queen Mary. I had lunch and returned home. A great ride.
 I have always taken the freeway if I was going any distance. It is a lot different when the goal is the journey and not the destination. There were quite a few scooters in this area. They have a very active scooter club in Long Beach. It turned out to be about 55 mile round trip after all of the side trips.

LIKE 200i / The wait is over, another newbie

 After a few weeks of looking, I brought her home from the dealer today. I cleaned her up and cruised the neighborhood. This machine is everything I heard it was. I can't ride too far. Still need license, MSF class, and insurance. I had to work on keeping the speed down for the break in.

General Discussion / Price add ons. Sticker shock?
« on: February 22, 2014, 04:25:53 PM »
 I am still in the research stages of scooterdom. I joined the forum to learn more. I was working down the street from two scooter/ motorcycle shops yesterday. I looked at the LIKE 200 and was knocked back by the add ons. The tag on the bike showed the Base price $2699.00, shipping/freight $798.00, Dealer prep $697.00. The Shipping and Prep fees seem excessive. 
 The BUDDY dealer across the street only charged a total add on of $425.00 dealer prep.
 I didn't speak to a salesperson about the price, I just thought that was a high starting price. Is this normal?
It seems that I need to shop around to different dealers in the area.
