Introducing OB1 (finally... pics of the new ride)
I was takings some pics of OB1 for Mother's Day, and I thought I would share them. FYI, no scooters were harmed in the fiming of the picutres...

I've never tried a wheelie, but I'm pretty good at Photoshop...jfrost2 wrote:But I'd never try a wheelie, I'd too much of a chicken to do anything silly, I'd probably have my bike fall over and get scratched up.
For anyone tempted to try one: At least a couple crashes have been reported here by people doing wheelies on their Buds. The rear fender hits the street and causes a wipeout.
[edit: I moved this thread to the Scooter Gallery because it's mostly pics.]

Interesting wheelie picture. Judging by the impression of the rear wheel it looks as though it was performed on loose gravel. I point this out cause it looks kinda surreal. I mean, you make it looks so easy.tyger23 wrote:I was takings some pics of OB1 for Mother's Day, and I thought I would share them. FYI, no scooters were harmed in the fiming of the picutres...

Please don't read into the "little shadow" part.kazoo wrote:Yes, he is good at that. I'm tempted to put a little shadow behind the rear of the scooter for his head. No?
BTW I like the Number three picture the best. I like the way black and orange go together.

Plus the fact that you couldn't pull a one handed wheelie and keep the handlebars straight. It would pull to the right. I have tried a wheelie on my b125 and it was not graceful. It's hard to do because there isn't enough torque. I was lucky not to wipe out. It's was a stupid thing to do, but I'll probably try it again some day. I don't learn from my mistakes.
Great picture though.
Here is a picture of a b125 wheelie done by Seth from Metro Scooter in Cincinnati. The photo was taken by Bonegirl or Lagerhead.

No kidding! Have some fun, people.KRUSTYburger wrote:Nice pics, tyger... too bad everyone was analyzing that wheelie one to death.
Good thing I didn't post pics of jumping a Buddy off my roof, through a flaming hoop, onto a neighbor's roof and over their pool, landing on the diving board, doing a triple Lindy (it's a BIG pool) and landing safely in their driveway. Unfortunately, the video camera broke so we were unable to get it all on video.

I disagree completely. Statistically all statistics have are within 12 standard deviation of being correct... We use more standard deviations in Ohio than other parts of the country. Plus all statistics are have a +or- 81% accuracy rate. Krusty, I know this because I am a professional.KRUSTYburger wrote:... ... that's less than half.
