Just ran across this.Looks like Yamaha will be producing a new Zuma 125. Yep,I'm wondering if the US will get it and if so,will it be a 150cc model? ...
Hey Sally! I do some semi serious riding on my mountain bike once in awhile & use a set of saddle bags made of nylon (with velcro hold downs & closures) they...
I was wondering if a few of you that take long trips on your bikes could comment on how many miles per gallon you get and your average speeds . oh and what...
Hi Gabe, thanks;) I found a set of vinyl saddlebags on Ebay some time back and put them on. I guess what I have been trying to figure out was how to put a bag...
OK, long rides.. I have taken a few long rides. I rode a Honda Helix, 250cc from Denver to KC and back. I took back roads because I did not feel safe riding...
Not sure of my mileage. My bike is great, except for the gas gauge, it will say almost full, then drop to about empty suddenly. It holds around 2 gals, I think...
Thought I'd throw my 2 cents in - even though I don't ride much on long trips. My daily commute to work is pretty much about 10 miles each way. I also ride...
The way to measure mileage even if you dont have a fuel guage is to write down how many gallons it takes to fill up at each fillup and after several fillups,...

I would not use the 2 or 3 liter soda pop bottles as you will find that the gas will eat them up very quickly. The plastic is of the wrong composition. Gary...
Scott Any kind of fuel or flammable in an unapproved container is asking for trouble. One may get away with it for a while but sooner or later a fire or ...
Scott, et.al. Hi! Like Tom S signs: "The ride is the objective, the destination is the excuse!" My 2005 Vespa PX150 is catalyzed and my maximum 47 mph...
Great idea, love that! I think that's great too for longer rides where you have no idea where the next gas station may be...metal gas can. Any brands/sizes...
I use a Saddle Can, http://www.cyclefuel.com/index.htm, made for motorcycles with just enough to get you to the next gas station, Plus it's small, and flat a...
Yes it is cute but at one quart for maybe 15 bucks incl shipping, I believe you can use an empty quart oil bottle just as easily. If you desire the spout as...

I just had my garage de-restrict and put an 80cc Kit on my scoot. It was working fine yesterday, little harder to start, but it would catch and get going...
