AWESOME! And they touched on safety concerns, which is rare.

LOL on the reporter saying it doesn't have a good turning radius! Anyone who's done their skills test or taken the MSF would beg to differ!!

And Mikie, based on her screen name I'm gonna guess Marcy Messina (the one interviewed in the mirror)... LOL.

Welcome to MB!

Thanks...The interview was random, I had just pulled in for a scheduled 500 mile tune up and the owner asked me if I'd talk with them, he was so busy with buying customers... I'm still smiling and the recording was a week ago.

Sweat! My pleasure.... man, I can't believe how many people are getting scooters. So funny, 2 weeks ago EVERYone at worked laughed at me. All the sudden, it ain't so funny! Guess we win!

Take care

Welcome Mmesina;
nice video and it is noce to hear the bit about safety. I did notice some rider not having the headlight on, though. I have my high beams on unless is nighttime. The low beam on the Blur is a joke. Maybe I need to adjust it? In any case, let's make sure we turn our headlights ON HIGH BEAM during the day. It helps the rest of the world to see us.
