Rattler in rattler country!

Post by mattgordon »

Took my new Rattler 110 into the the rugged DeLuz/Tenaja area yesterday. A 50+ mile shakedown ride through some stunning scenery, and some really beat-up roads. The bike ran quite well, and is perfectly suited for that type of environment. I will do it again! Great fun, on a great little 2 stroke scooter...can't wait till next weekend.

just be careful around them "other" rattlers.... :wink:

another question... would you say the rattler is like a "dirt-scooter?" i'm not familiar with dirt bikes, but i do know how unsafe and uneasy i feel on a mildly gravel-ly road on my buddy. :oops:

I wouldn't call the Rattler a "dirt-scooter" per se, but it does, with it's wider tires, and beefy suspension, handle the rutted and broken pavement real well, but you still really need to look out for sandy patches and gravel as with any other scooter! The tires are over twice as wide as the Buddy's, so it IS better suited for that type of road than a Buddy.

Sounds like a fun scooter. I have a problem on viewing pictures. I didn't see your pictures and in fact, I can't even see my own pics I posted today. Am I not doing something?????

If you've been logged out, the pix don't show up. Could you have inadvertantly gotten logged out?
