Ah, the things people will subject themselves to in the name of status. If the Homeowners Association rules turn out to be factual and enforceable and moving somewhere like that is important to you, lower the price of your scooter to $900 for a quick sale and live happily in your subdivision. Or don...

For dependability and their established parts and service network, Honda is tough to equal, much less beat.Howardr wrote:If money is no object, go with the Vespa 300 GTS.
However, for great initial cost plus lower cost of maintenance plus good looks and loads of fun, the PCX 150 is the bike you want.

I travelled on my Triumph Bonneville and took the interstate - for 50 miles. That was the most mind numbing 50 miles I have ever ridden. Interstates are good for point A to point B travel in a hurry but offer nothing of interest. At least not here in my neck of the woods. Hard to beat state and loca...

You obviously weren't listening to the ESPN broadcast. I still haven't figured out how Auburn could have both dominated the game and won the game on a last (3) second field goal. I wonder if Cam has washed Brent's lips off his a$$ yet? I am glad though that it wasn't a blowout on either side. Just ...

Anyone have a Vino 125?
Finally got my Buddy started up. It and my Vino 125 have been setting up in the garage since my accident last April. My Vino 125 is another story. It wants to run but when started it runs a few seconds then starts to balk and fuel runs out of what I think is a vent hose coming from the carb. Then it...

My Vino 125 is squealing now at WOT. At 65mph I can hear it with my full face helmet, wind noise, traffic on interstate. It disappears at 60mph.

As far as using a stuff (compression) sack for your sleeping bag, it does make it smaller and you can fluff the bag in the dryer at home to maintain the rating. I've done that on a couple of bags, usually not more than once a season. Works quite well. Also, the price difference in a 10 degree and a ...
