http://www.vice.com/read/mexican-mods-tijuana-123 It's weird how people in the most horrible situations still seem to be able to find something that makes their lives better for themselves. Determination is amazing. Also, it was interesting to note that when I started typing genuine (I'd actually f...

Name that scooter? I can't.

I just had a weird deja vu experience.

that's right ^^^^^

BTW: Honda and the other Japanese manufacturer made scramblers as well...I had a 305 for a bit.

I have a timbuk2 that I special ordered, and got it in the Italian tri-colors, but when I used it, everyone thought it was the Mexican flag colors. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: schadenfreude much? hahaha srsly, look at this thing: https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5561/15084795170_8ba048301c_b.jpg It's...

rsrider

I just checked timbuk2's site and the bag that I have is no longer available (at all), and it seems they only have 1 backpack that is customizable, so my post is now irrelevant.

'disabled child', another warning sign, hits the sympathy button. Yeah, playing the "I did it for the children" card is a pathetic ploy on anyone's part. He's either scamming (my vote) or incredibly stupid (and I'll vote for that too). So he's a stupid scammer and should be run over by hi...

I have a timbuk2 that I special ordered, and got it in the Italian tri-colors, but when I used it, everyone thought it was the Mexican flag colors. They both happen to be green-white-red. Living in CA ya know. The thing is incredibly well built, but it's just one big compartment (except for some sma...

Even weirder, I have a WHITE Suomy Spec1-R that I use when I'm filming my ummm rides, yeah, and when I ride at night, which really is only on full moons during warm evenings. So it's like a nice color match. I'm removing stickers and cleaning right now........So much to do, and all the time and worl...

My saga continues: it's a bit of a read, but there's pictures!!! So yeah, read on. After selling the Buddy, my search for the Vespa intensified. Especially when I started missing riding a scooter. (confession: total scooter junkie now) Everything that I'm interested in is $4K and up, and all of it i...

I ride both, and both are more dangerous than playing video games.

I thought this thread was going to be about curb hopping and wheelies.

Things were going so well, and now they've come to a complete stop. I thought the flow was going to have the Kawi 250r sold within the week, and a shiny Vespa in my garage by the end of the month. Looks like I'll have to dial back the enthusiasm.

Come one universe make some magic happen!!!!

Good Grief!!! what horror stories.....I had enough money in the bank to quit my job a year before minimum retirement. 12 paid holidays, 12 paid sick (wellness) days, 28+ days vaca, full medical, dental, vision, and was never denied a vaca or sick day. And no one, ever got in my face and threatened m...

I thought about going retro for about 10 seconds, but I like new stuff. :) So I won a 2012 Kawi Ninja 250R a couple years back in the Kawasaki Good Times Give Away. I gave it to my wife because she needed a bike and it was like perfect for her. Today she tells me to sell the Ninjette and use the mon...

I suppose you will be over at Modernvespa now....how soon they forget..... :cry: :P Right now, I'm more lowly than you guys because I'm scooterless. I don't know when I'll get the Vespa, just have to wait for the right deal. But w...

Does the kid's Mama know you sold her son/daughter a scooter? I'm not a like dealership, who only cares about the sale. :no: His dad was the one who came up to me and told me his son was looking for a moped or scooter, and they both came to my house to pick it up. I wanted to make sure the kid like...

My Buddy is gone!!! A sweet 16 year old kid bought it. I've got $1300 in my pocket and a mission to get the VESPA!!!!!

rsrider

I'm going to eventually sell the Buddy, no doubt. I will need the $$$ for the Vespa, but I was waiting for the summer to be over and the desperation of after Xmas bills to get serious on buying a used Vespa. Today, someone offers me $1,300 for my 2008 50cc Italia, with top box. I'm torn..........tak...

Grab baseball bat, find Shay?. Break stuff, important stuff. I would start looking in Wood Hood, where ever the hell that is.

There's other scooters in my burg, and this one guy moved here from a town that had a scooter group and he's been trying to get one going here. We hung out at *$'s on wed. for over a month, and I tossed in the towel last week. We didn't even go on any rides, and I kept asking him if he wanted to go ...

OK, I'm gonna be the gadfly..... With all this gee-whizzy stuff going on in your helmet, why not just stay home, plug the lid into a game system and go for a virtual ride?

...Modding isn't for everybody. For many the correct thing to do is buy a bigger scooter ^ Write that down. I agree! That one belongs over the doorway as you enter. :wink: srsly, I derestricted my 50 and can get it up to indicated 50mph on a straight, with a slight tail wind and tucked. I've gone 6...

The only comment posted was one from a SW employee who was told to stay away from McCaleb or forget any promotions within the company. Shady and disrespectful of the person who created the business, but that's what corporate scum do, muscle out any opposition to their way to the top.

At least you know who your targets are when the revolution comes. I'm retired, so I'll probably have to use the phone book. Know thy enemy. :) I have to ask, what is the avatar.

seriously, wtf? the kick stand was properly down and a big truck rolls by and the scooter falls over. Rashed the hell out of the top box, and rashed the left passenger foot rest area pretty good as well. the brake lever also lost some paint. unreal...........

rsrider

If it wasn't for the fact that I want to ride a scooter outside of my town and that there is absolutely NO more room in the garage for another vehicle of any kind, then I would be happy with my 50cc Buddy. Having it de-restricted means there is no where in town that the posted speed limit is higher ...

I inquired about the service history, he indicated he has changed the oil twice. You don't change the oil with a 2-stroke unless it is gear oil. :? Yeah, that made me laugh.

He did his own riding as stunt men were not for the Steve. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wrong answer answer Charlie.......that would be Bud Ekins. McQueen did a lot of riding in his films, but when it came to the real stuff, the dangerous stuff, Ekins took over (being Steve's buddy and his stuntman). McQueen ...

HD Toppers are pretty rare, in running condition, maybe 100 left on the planet, and this guy has 2 of them.

Women wanted him, men wanted to be him.

People forget that Garner was a top club racer and hung out with "the Steve".

Buddy Love - Is the RC 390 sold in the states? I had always hoped we would get the Duke 390 here. From what I've read and the KTM dealers I've talked to, they are begging for both the Duke and the RC 390 to be brought to the states. And....KTM is close to making a decision. If they do show up it wo...

Thanks for that. The improvements over the old Stella make me glad I hesitated on buying a 2013 at discount. Now I'll keep on saving for the Vespa and maybe take a look at the 2014 Stella next year when they go on sale (if I haven't got the Vespa yet).

rsrider

The more I think about it, the more I believe I'm going to hold out for a Vespa. It may take longer to get, but it's something that I want. I have the Buddy for now, and it's doing the job. So I'll wait it out and see what the future brings, hopefully it involves cash.

Epic Motorsports in Goleta will match Thousand Oaks Powersports. Both dealers want to move them out. Epic will charge less prep fees though. Good luck This was at EPIC in Goleta, and I told them I'd buy it at $3K and they wouldn't sell it to me. But obviously other shops are selling them at $3K OTD.

I've wanted a Vespa, but it's just not going to happen. $$$$$$ :( I could get a late model/used 150 Vespa for the amount that I would be paying for the Stella. Should I hold out for a Vespa, or go with the new Stella? I like the Stella, it's awesome retro looking. And I've had only minor, easily fix...
