I met one Tuesday just before I got to Bayfield, headed south. This was a red/grey color combo and it looked like they were with one other machine. Any idea...
I wear full gear on the scooter. the only exception is that I sometimes don't wear the armored pants, but I also skip them on the bike when it is beastly hot....
I find myself wearing minimal gear on the scooter (50cc E-Ton Beamer) but almost always a reflective vest. (Once, just the other day, I forgot to put the vest...
I think we should just put the whole Roger in Assless Chaps thing to rest now. There is little to be served at this point by continuing to mention Roger in...

Allon, use as long an extension on your wrench as is necessary. Usually I will lay over the bike seat with my right foot on the rear brake and pull up on the...
Like Paul says, a pipe over the handle of your ratchet (1/2 to 3/4 inch ratchet recommended) while stomping on the rear brake usually works for me. I've also...
Allon, For the little it's worth, you're not alone. One of the first hits when I did a search--- as the SV wasn't pulling strongly out of some of the corners....
