Judi & I just returned from a cruise and encountered some roads on Tortola [BVI] which be exciting for any scooter person - see attached pic of a very steep...
Rick: Welcome back to the reality show (winter). Bet you had a great time! Our automatic scoots would demand a lot of brake work on that kind of down hill...
In the words of Arthur Fonzarelli, "Woah!" Glad you had a good time, Rick. - Adam - ________________________________ From: Rick Vondemkamp <taxmanmn@...>...
And we come back to snow and minus temps - will we ever ride again? Welcome back Rick to the land of never ending cold. That week sure went fast. Ray :O)...
Rick, Welcome back to Snow America. Great picture. I believe the going down is more dangerous than climbing up hill. Bob Copeland ... From: Rick Vondemkamp...
Scooting the Ozarks Forum and Rally have a nice new flyer for the upcoming Sept scooter rally. You can find it at the url below. I supplied both a tinyurl and...
I couldn't get the mirrors to move on the Burgy executive. I don't want to push too hard and couldn't find anything in the manual. They are adjustable right?...
Absolutely, as long as you are attempting to adjust the mirror in the housing and not the housing itself. Likely they are just stiff. I did find the...
Hi, My name is Len and I live in Fountain City WI which is across, and a few miles up river from Winona MN. I've just become an excited new owner of an '04...
Umm... not intended to sound sarcastic but don't use the gas and keep your hands near the brakes! Maintain a speed thats slow enough to stay in control. the...
Len, Welcome and have fun on that beautiful Scarabeo! I've noticed on some old machines (snowmobiles, ATV's, etc.) that given a steep enough grade, an extended...

Len Fountain City WI Welcome to the Maxi-Scooter world. Here with Russ and Rick on their Aprilia Scarabeo 500s arriving at the start of one our group rides....
Hi Len, Â I have a 2006 Scarabeo 500 with ABS brakes and have put about 7,800 miles on it, but never have been down anything like the roads we encountered in...
Thanks, Doug. The previous owner lost interest and the scooter was neglected somewhat by being left out in the weather unprotected. It has a few issues and ...
Thanks for the tips. As I mentioned in another post, mine needs some cosmetics attended to and it isn't like I can run to the nearest bike shop to get stuff. ...
Leonard, I absolutely love riding your dugways, especially that one that sneaks into Glenhaven from the north, appropriately labeled "Dougway" on the street...
When I had my 1997 Helix I really liked the braking powers of the engine when going down a steep hill.When I bought my new 2003 Burgman 400 I really missed the...
Thanks Jim, I appreciate the comparison because I only had the Helix and Buddy as a reference. Doug Cooper Frontenac, MN '04 CN250 || '00 ST2 || '82 CX500 ||...
Hi and welcome, Leonard. Sounds like you got a good deal on a great scooter. Look forward to see it and you on some future ride. By the way, is this...
Len, Good idea to replace the tires - my rear was totally gone at 6,200 and everything was on 2 month backorder last year - the ST66 seems to be the tire of...
Adam- Indeed it just took a bit more pressure than I was comfortable giving without an, "OK". Thanks for the OK. -Fritz ... the housing and not the housing...
... control movement. Automatic scoots must rely on brakes. Bob, here is a cycle that rely's entirely on shoe leather to stop. See attached photo. Ray LOL...
-Hi Bill & Others Maybe the newer Burgmans have better engine braking then the first ones like my 2003.The reason I mentioned that was when the 3 of us would...
Greetings folks, Just thought I'd let folks know (or remind folks who already knew) that Flat Pennies re-opens for the season this Friday. I'm planning to...
I've been riding on and off since way back when. First bike was a brand spankin' new 1966 Honda CB-160. This is my first scooter, and having yet ridden it,...
Len, Let's hope it IS only a few weeks. I'm trying very hard to be optimistic. Doug Cooper Frontenac, MN '04 CN250 || '00 ST2 || '82 CX500 || '79 CM400 || '76...
