Additional LED lighting that I put on to compliment my running light LEDs and high-beam.

My SO and I have been riding together for 20 years, in the last four years we've switched from MC's to scooters (most of the time anyway). We LOVE scooting around town together and since we work at the same place, we get to scoot to work together every day. :mrgreen:

Seriously, that's cool. You get to scoot with someone who gets it. Instead of getting crap. "Get off that stupid thing and mow the lawn". :?

I'm pretty sure I ordered them from that site, really inexpensive and wired to the hi-beams. I also got the flashing red LEDs wired to the brake lights. They're very inexpensive and catch drowsy or drunk drivers at night before I become a hood ornament.

This is a much brighter setup, made locally in Northern Virginia. A lot more expensive, but I plan to upgrade soon enough. It's even blinding during the day. If you got the money, it's a worthwhile buy.

Or why did you need to spend $60 on a pair of gloves? K-Mart has good warm gloves for $5. Why did you spend $170 on a jacket? you could've got one from K-Mart for $20. You want to spend how much on a pair of jeans??? What's Kevlar??? You've got jeans why do you want all the fancy motorcycle stuff you only ride a scooter??? :roll:

Nothing tops off the time I was told to "GET OFF THE ROAD", because I was not going over 50 in a 45. I got the highbeam flashes, the waving of the hand, and tailgated. The driver pulled up next to me telling me my "moped" was illegal to ride, mind the liscense plate on the back.

You'd wire them in. I think they're designed to work in conjunction with the brake lights.

That was at Scooter Caper 09. The China's Finest guy knew what he had and had a good sense of humor. He didn't have any problems with his scooter either.

maybe it should comes with pedals and training wheels so when the rider is totaly lit they can pedal home. Maybe it should just come with a breathalizer attached to the starter so you can't get yourself into trouble in the first place. :lol:

Did you take the name Pooka from the movie Harvey? Jimmy Stewart plays Elwood P. Dodd who's best friend is a mischievous 6 foot tall invisible rabbit.

Oh, never mind, I just noticed you provided a link.

Taken the end of April a few weeks after we got our Buddy 125's. Haven't made too many "couple" rides since as we've each been putting most of the miles on going back and forth to work.

I still can't believe how much of a blast scooters are. We recently got a Harley Iron 883 for longer rides but hands down I'd rather ride my scooter around town. All that shifting and whatnot around town on the Harley gets old real quick. And there's no place to put anything!

Sorry I can't contribute. Gail and I won't sit still long enough for anyone to take a picture!

1992 miles on our SYM HD200 and I brought it home new from the dealer 30 days ago, so you see what I mean...80% of those miles are two-up.

I looked for pictures of us with bikes, this is the only one I could find of us together, we have been riding together now for over 4 years.
Kathleen started me on scooters – otherwise I would still be riding motorcycles.
This was taken just before a 3 day 2 night 600 mile trip to Las Cruses and back, we wanted to explore the town of Las Cruses.
