Joe you did such a great job teaching and leading and had a great route planned out for us - how could we go wrong? I would deffinately be in on the peak to...
I have layed down a bike 3 times. Twice on my honda 125 motorcycle and once on the helix (last year). The first time on the 125 it was a car turning left in...
... Sorry, but I still disagree. The coefficient of friction and tractive effort is much greater with the maximum braking effort of the rubber tires against...
Hey Tom, How about a recon ride on the Peak to Peak. It's just you and me so far. In my mind we can open it up to anyone, don't matter. We could go up and...
I layed down a CB 250 aboout twenty years ago. A guy with a two truck had a car attached. He did a U-turn, I locked up the rear wheel, layed it down abnd...
Hey Big Joe ( the mad scooting scientist)! What is this pic-a-nic spot too boo-boo? never heard that term (must have been before my time) LOL. We could...

I rode up to Boulder and took the bike up Flagstaff Mountain. Going up was not so very hard, just tight hairpins. There are about 6 turns rightly rated for...
Terry-thanks so much for sharing that-what a hoot! Riding out here, cows just eye you with distrust when you motor past. Plus, our cows are just ol' cows....
I sure like riding up Lookout Mountain a lot better than riding down, especially on a big scoot ... same reason. That's one of the reasons I've been hesitating...
A good source on MP3 forum says that is so with the J. Costa. Matt at Scootertrap says it is a minor loss, ( he has a vested interest in selling them-and he...
I like up hill much more also. Going down hill in the twisty gives me a very uneasy feeling. I thought it was just me.  Good to know I am not alone on...
Exactly. I always feel I am being a weenie, that I should just dive into the turn. I felt a fool braking almost to a stop on the downhill hairpins, luckily no...
I wouldn't recommend this to anybody because I don't know if it increases or decreases any risk, but on downhill hairpins I have found breaking through the...
Ah, no problem - just get a 650 Burgy and put it in manual or the power mode - end of problem [:p] ... turn, and ... jazzyguitarguy@ ... down, especially on...
I can see myself ending up with a 650 exec for the ABS, and you've just provided another plus. Steve R To: Denver_Maxi_Scooters@yahoogroups.com From:...

-Steve-you are repeating yourself! The Burgy is a good beast, I don't think you want to hit the overdrive thing in this particular case though. Thats just for...
Not sure why I generated multiple e-mails - oh well. In my experiences coming down from Evergreen to Morrison on my '07 400, I never felt the need to downshift...
I find Sugarloaf Rd just west of Boulder to be quite a challenge on the downhill run. Its the route I take to Boulder and have done this run a few times. Did...
That looks like a great route, like to take it sometime, at a slow pace... Tom S Parker, CO Â "The ride is the objective, the destination is the excuse!" Yes,...
wooo hooo! Just got my scooter back and they tweaked the carb, regapped the spark plug, and blew the gobs of dust out of the aircleaner - much more pep. Let me...
-Most of the time there is no need for downshifting, just on long downhills ( think the west side of the Eisenhower tunnel toward Dillon) or short drop offs,...
Hi, Tom how's Sunday to look over maps and discuss routes? I'll give you a call. Shelley, you're welcome along on anything!! I'm thinking a recon ride after...
Hi, In keeping the "speaking up" topic going I've had an issue that happened to me within the last week that I felt some obligation to post. At the stop sign,...
I think we need to SPEAK UP to people in our group and encourage riding gear. I think everyone wears a helmet. I know gear is expensive, but encourage...
Morning Joe and all. Sunday might work - the earlier the better. I may take a ride up there this weekend sometime anyways. A friend of mine said I should go...
