First pic of our first scooters
« on: December 04, 2018, 08:35:29 PM »
After a week of owning our first scooters, and some delays due to an overwhelmed DMV, my wife and I were finally able to take our bikes out for their maiden voyages. Well, I purchased used, so my 2013 Super 8 150 has probably been around the block a few times. But, my wife's 2018 Like 200i is fresh off the line. This was our first time riding motorbikes on actual streets, with actual moving cars. We mainly stayed in our surrounding neighborhood just to build our comfort level, but man did we have a blast. Of course, as we get more comfortable, we will venture further and further out. There is one stretch of road that allowed us to get up to about 45-50 mph, and both scooters did this effortlessly. I could see this getting addicting.

Weather has been up and down lately, but we take advantage when we can. Now, if I can just teach my neighbor about photo composition...lol

Welcome you two!

Nice scooters. Take your time getting comfortable on two wheels.
Highly recommend taking the MSF course!

We did take the MSF course in November. The MC endorsement was required in order to legally drive our 149cc/163cc scooters on the roads here. We initially wanted motorcycles, but the course was humbling. It made us realize that we needed to spend time just getting comfortable on the road. I've never been a gear head, and am not overly interested in having to shift gears on a bike. I just enjoy the experience of moving on two wheels. I may upgrade to a Honda ctx700n with the DCT auto trans at some point, but for now we're just enjoying the ride.

Also, was totally kidding about my neighbor! We saw him walking as we were riding by and I literally parked, tossed my phone at him, and said, "Hey, capture this"...lol
