you should be good to go until gas hits about 12$ a gallon
looks good0 -
Still looks brand new.[8D]
Did you get the fuel mixture problem solved?0 -
Is that a propeller?! [:D]0 -
The idle was set to 1600rpm at the dealer. Its idle should be about 2100-2200. It runs great now. It just sucks I had to waste a 1/2 tank of gas in the truck for the dealer trip.
No, that's not a propeller. It's a wagon wheel. I was at my Aunt's for the pictures. Her road had about 2" of gravel on it. That raised the pucker factor to 10 when I almost dumped it.
110mi and counting so far on a 1/2 tank. [:D]0 -

Hey Aspen79se!
The road between Manhatten and Topeka isn't gravel ... ya going to make it for the gunshow this weekend?
BTW ... I get a little better than 110 miles to 1/2 tank of gas in my truck!
(of course I have a 17 gallon tank [:o)])0 -
I road my 74 Vespa Rally 200 to work saterday .
Had a guy on a Harley pull along side me and gave me a smile and a thumbs up .
Shouted at him " Wanta trade ? "
Another big smile as he opened the throttle and blew away .
I do like your scoot Aspen and would ride it everyday .
Hard for me to buy new though . I still find old scoots have value and are worth fixing up .
How can you taste the bugs though with that screen [:)] ?

Just be careful out there. Most driver don't see or ignore motorcycles. You are even smaller. Looks like a fun mode of transportation. 0 -
Looks like a nice ride!
Ride safe and often![:0][:0]0 -
I'm riding this thing till it snows. I wanted a brighter color, but gray was all that was there. They had a BV200 in red when I went in for repairs. I'm confident this thing will do 90mph. I'm not going on the interstate with it though. It's too light for that road. 0 -
Did you get snow tires and tire chains for the winter driving? 0 -
NO NEED TO PARK IT when the snow flies i have seen them run motorcycles on ice 0 -
did the dealer have one of these? 0 -

Yes, they did have one of the MP3s. The wheels lock together below 5mph or 3K rpm. Above that and they automatically unlock. It rides just like a two-wheeler at speed. But, at almost 8K, and only 250 or 500cc, I didn't think it was THAT great. I would get a Bergman Ex650 for less. It is an engineering marvel though. I heard Piaggio (they make the BV250) spent 8 years on R&D for it. I also hear they have an 850cc coming out.0 -
Hard to imagine something like that riding like a 2 wheeler. Looks scarey. 0 -
Spryor: I agree. Piaggio has action pictures on the web. They show it leaning like one. And, the one I saw did the same in person. It's impressive to say the least. 0 -
Boss sent me a photo tonight , said he was going to lay the scoot over and pull up till his tire touched mine , making it look like he ran over it .
I washed it when I got off , it was pretty dusty .
Some of you I'm sure have never seen a Lamborgini like that one .
It's a 1987 LM002 , it's been rumored Hummer stole borrowed many ideas when building theirs .
I'm still thinking about what color/colors to paint mine . Don't care much for the factory color .

I was gonna get one of these but it was a crappy ride [xx(] 0 -

I remember the Lamborgini LM well. It came with tires that had a flange that came out of the sidewall to help keep it on top of sandy terrain.
Is it yours?
Love to have one...0 -

Nothin wrong starting with a scooter ..... soon you will move up to a Harley Davidson! [^][^][;)]
Why would I do that, when I can buy a bike that runs? [:D]0
