Mine's only a 125cc . . . I tend to stick around 50mph . . . it seems happy there.Steph wrote:When I go to the brewery tomorrow I might have to have a Belgian instead of my Stout. I get a feeling of comradeship when the motorcyclists wave at us as we pass. Been enjoying the scoots. Lots of fun. Funny thing is I have a motorcycle endorsement on my driver’s license and don’t know a thing about motorcycles! But, that what is required to ride a scooter over 50cc where I live.
Ben and Frizzy, what are you average cruising speeds? I would like to know. I’m with Scootering Amphibian, 55 mph is a little weird for me too!
Hi Mel. We are spending the summer in Friday Harbor (San Juan Island), living on our boat. Our home is in Texas, but my wife enjoys what she calls, "fun summer jobs." I drive a couple different whale watch boats, she works the front counter (filling boat seats). The work is interesting (never the same trip twice), but since we retired 8 years ago, I do have this little aversion to being on someone else's schedule. Kidding aside, it's a great job.Mel46 wrote:CaptnJim where are you guys located? We have kids and grandkids in Mukilteo, Washington. We have been thinking seriously about moving out to Washington, preferably Widbey Island. Of course, like everyone else, money is the issue. Right now we fly out to see them when we can.
I wish there were more riders in West Michigan, too. I guess it is because other riders are not used to my scoots looks yet, that I get waves- and wave back a lot. But the funniest is when a Harley rider starts to wave, sees that I am on a scoot, then pulls his hand back real quick.katschamne wrote: I agree I wish that there were more scooter riders in the area. It sounds like other then the States, they are more popular. Here sometimes they are looked down upon by other motorcyclist. One guy on my husband's forum was dumbfounded that a someone on a scooter waved at him. My husband said to wave back. Really!?!
I always break out laughing!! 
I almost fooled them Then there are those that turn their head & keep looking at you as you pass them. They don't know what the hell they just saw 
Traffic is busy here, I usually nod. If they don't respond? So what!

Guess you mean a Belgian beer.... not a Belgian (guy)Steph wrote:When I go to the brewery tomorrow I might have to have a Belgian instead of my Stout.
When you find it ... try a Belgian Mc Chouffe... normally available in the states...Steph wrote:Ben, You are too funny! When I got to the brewery, I couldn't resist the Imperial Cream Brulee Java Stout. I'm a fool for that beer!
