Owner's Manual needed for 2006 Blur

markevnic72 · Post by **markevnic72** » Tue May 20, 2008 11:35 pm

Very happy to have a new (to me) Blur but the previous holder did not have the manual. Anyone have a link to a PDF copy, or know how I might otherwise get one? Thank you,
Mark

Hi:

For what it's worth, I've got a PDF copy of the GMAX 50/125/150 (ALLORO) owner's manual. When you try to read it, the Adobe Reader's gonna tell you that you need to download some kind of Chinese font/character set (easy enough to do) even though I haven't seen any Chinese characters in the document.

Forgot where I picked this up, so I don't have a link. Just gimme the word and I'll email a copy to you. It's about 1.5 meg.

-Charlie

What if he's using a Mac?

I am using a mac, and we have the same functionality as a right click by pressing the command key instead. Thanks so much for the links all

markevnic72 - If what you're looking for is the actual owners manual that came with your Blur, you're welcome to make a copy of mine. I live in SF so we can meet up at a Kinko's or something on a Saturday (my only day off). Let me know.

I'm using a Mac, too, but people using Macs know better than to open a PDF live from the web. : )

The correlation between scooterists and Mac users has been extensively documented.

Wow, three Blurs in San Francisco? Isn't it dangerous to have 25% of the Blur population concentrated in one location?

Didn't you hear? Blurs are popular now!

I don't get why people don't like them. They look cool, handle great, and have awesome brakes.

mainly because they did not look like a Vespa.

I went in to the shop fully intending to buy a Buddy, had that classic look in mind, but the more I looked at the Blur the more I liked it... I'd rather be the odd man out, it's appealling that we're in a 'smaller' club. and I happen to think they look pretty darn cool! I've got lots of compliments on it . . .

A little off topic here, but I noticed an interesting thing while reading my latest issue of Twist 'N Go magazine (an English mag) - most (maybe 90%?) of the pictures of peoples scoots whether for sale or of scooter rallys were modern/sports type. Even the ads and reviews were aimed mostly toward this type of scooter. Not sure what my point is, but there ya go.

Yeah, we can never ride together in case of a major earthquake or something because it'd wipe out the entire species within SF.

Well, in Europe, the Vintage and Modern scenes are even more segregated than they are here, and TAG was created several years ago because all the vintage ninnies were mad about Peugeot reviews in Scootering magazine.

In the UK, the vintage scene is mostly older guys, mods and skinheads, and the automatic scene is mostly tuners and younger guys, a lot of wannabe thug types. Of course, everyone rides everything there, but those are the people that are specifically attracted to the culture and tuning, etc. Modern Vespas are big there with upscale urban commuters, but they haven't made much of an impact with the modern or vintage 'scenes.' There are millions of scooters there, but most people just see them as transportation, so TAG has to appeal to both regular people shopping for a new scooter for transportation, and to people that want to see crazy customs and stuff, so it's a lot like Motor Trend in that regard, where Scootering is more specifically targeted to the subculture.

Oh, my point through all that, was that "sport style" scooters are not necessarily more popular in the UK, but that's their target market. Vespa's gonna sell bikes to people who want Vespas, so they don't care about TAG, and the Vintage scene has its own magazine. I think modern "Retro" bikes are just flat out less popular everywhere outside the U.S., the vintage scene in europe is strong enough that people would feel like poseurs riding around on a fake-vintage retro bike.
