All-rain ride on the Kymco
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2020 12:35 pm
It was 52°F overnight.....and raining steadily.
My excuse is -
1) the 1st gen. Kymco LIKE200i equipped with Michelins - is a great rain scooter.
2) My winter riding gear is also waterproof.
3) the weather forecast into the near future is lousy with cold, freezing overnights (I ride at before sunrise - always)
The tires performed perfectly. The LIKE was steadily rained on for 3.5 hours and never missed a beat. Instant EFI starts & ran like a sewing machine.
I had to go to back-up seating for my coffee (a bench under an awning by Tom's Market....
A fellow doesn't look terribly clever riding a scooter in the rain & dark - but it'd be even dumber to sit in the dark & rain drinking coffee.)

~I always come in from a rain ride and shout, "Louise, my crotch is wet!"
And my wife responds..."Who's Louise?"
But only my pup was home today......
bikes and the scenery are both beautiful - any time of day, any weather that you ride. I/we know, on or before sunrise is choice - must think 'n drink java in favorite curbside chair. Bless you fish and stay safe. Even old cronies can get cockey behind bars
