P150 goes down......Part II
« on: September 22, 2010, 03:19:49 AM »
In my original post I forgot to mention what happened after I went down.  After getting up and realizing there were no broken bones or anything, I quickly went back to the scoot to pick it up.....in my rush, I didn't realize it was still running and when I grabbed the throttle the thing took off over the sidewalk with me hanging on for dear life!  I managed to get it under control before I ran into some bushes.  Talk about adding insult to injury!  Trust me, I wasn't lmao.....but I'm sure someone was!

I am sure you realize now the purpose of the kill switch.  ;D

Yeah, I remember doing something like that the first time I was on a dirt bike.  Thought the thing was in neutral and let the clutch out - causing the bike to lurch forward and me to fall backwards while still having my hand on the throttle.

Good thing the scoot is an automatic!
