The monster something was a Honda Reflex with quick release "training wheels". There ws an older lady riding that. Instant 3 wheeler - er- 4 wheeler in this case.ericalm wrote:Great pics; looks like a fun ride.
Are you the youngest club member?!
The custom paint on that green Vespa GT is mad crazy cool. The variety there is great—an MP3, Stella with sidecar, couple old Hondas and a 3-wheeled monster something. What a mix!
...little do they know... Anyways, yes lots of maxiscoots. We had FIVE Reflexes and one Reflex clone! .
Yeah, she was a pretty small lady and had a cane, and that Reflex is pretty heavy. I was doing a scoot'n'shoot just holding my camera up in the air with my left hand. I got some vids, but the quality is crap and its pretty far away... I'm trying to upload one of the *better* ones for you guys, but it's taking forever.KABanshee wrote:Nice assortment of scoots, what a great turnout. Looks like a good ride was had by all. The training wheels are hilarious. But I guess if she is 70 and it gets her into the ride then more power to them training wheels.
Have you seen one in person? They're less hideous than they look in pics. I don't really like the ultra-modern for most scooters, but with the MP3 technology, I don't think anything else would make sense. The MP3 500s have the more aggressive styling; I prefer those in appearance. And I say it every time this scoot comes up in discussion: If you can, go test ride one.Orange Guy wrote:Awesome pics! Were you scootin' and shootin' at the same time?
Man, I try to keep an open mind ... but those MP3s are hideous. They look too futuristic ... Maybe I'll like them when the future gets here.
Sure did. When I got my Buddy, the dealer had a couple of these. Try as I might, I can't shake the impression that they look like part old person mobility scooter.ericalm wrote:Have you seen one in person? They're less hideous than they look in pics.
That what I thought too until I started posting the ride all over the scoot forums and people started coming out of the wood work. Aside from my dad and Jimmy and maybe one other guy, I'd never even seen any of these scoots on the road.Rhodyterri wrote:This looks like it was alot of fun. If I tried that here, all I would have to post would be pictures of the wide open road in front of me. Not alot of scooters at my end of the state.
Yeah, it was black and I wanted to make it more visible and match my scoot. It almost matches, that green is a hard color to find! The white is reflective tape. There are pics on the second page of the helmet thread.Rhodyterri wrote:Krusty, any chance of seeing a picture of your helmet? It looked like you have done your creative thing on that too. Thanks for the pictures.
A few people in my area ride these. The newer design os okay, but they're really just nifty ATVs. If you lean it, you're about to tip over!twharton wrote:Oh snap!
So looking at those photos in detail there are training wheels on that yellow Honda! So it's a four wheeler....3 in back and one in front. I guess the tire wear is quite even. My wife said she wants a 3 wheeler and I suggested a Can-Am Spyer HAHA

Anyways, I thought I already showed everybody my helmet dangit! Well, here's summore pics I took just for you. P.S. Do you work every Saturday or do you think you'll be able to make it next time (3rd Sat of each month)? If you can't, maybe we can plan a ride on another day. I know there are at least a couple people who would be interested (self included). PM me your email so I can give it to Jimmy and you can be on 'the list' of contacts for the club.
ANYWAYS! Here's the helmet now that it's all dirty and scratched-up from throwing it around all the time. (the white parts are reflective tape)
Yes, I painted it... It was just plain glossy black when I got it, so I cut the reflective tape and stuck it on for better nighttime visibility. Then I went ahead and added some color in an attempt to make it even more visible and match my scooter better (green hornet). I just masked it off with electrical tape and plastic bags, same as when I painted my scoot.MikieTaps wrote:Did you paint that yourself? If not, who did? If not, where did you get it?
Maybe next year. Maybe not the Stella we (well, those in the other 49 states) know and love, but some kind of Stella. Maybe...paint_lick wrote:stella is a nice lookin' scoot. i do wish genuine would bring it to California.... and that sidecar is stylin'.
Thanks, and I might paint your helmet if I lived somewhere in the opposite corner of the US!MikieTaps wrote:Good work! that is amazing... wanna paint my helmet?
Y'know? It only makes sense...
MAN! there's a TON of photos I gotta re-post. This is gonna take a while.
