Chris, To my knowledge all Vino 125's are at the same spec. The CV carburetor on our scoots does compensate for elevation to an extent. Regardless, all...
You "kids!" LOL When I reach 50 mph I start slowing down ... maybe if I was heavier - but when I start to feel the bike wobble I chicken out (course - I'm a...
Alysia, Good idea...don't go faster than you feel safe driving. That WILL change as you get accustomed to riding more. You can fill the tank by pulling back...
I've noticed that there are a couple of photos posted that show Vinos that have folded up like a jackknife during a collision. It looks like they must have...
I don't think crumple zones are a major design consideration for many motorcycle/scooter mfgs. I've ridden for 8 years, both street bikes and scooters, and...
As the crash survivor for one of the pictured Vino 125's I can personally vouch for what was said below. That said, the Vino's frame is actually pretty stout...
Hi Alysia, (good stuff, that baklava, especially with cafe Hellenica), Just wait. In a couple of months, you'll be standing on the seat whipping your Vino to...
Today I was on my way home from running an errand when an SUV in front of me signaled to turn left. They slowed, but since there was no traffic, they didn’t...
Glad you're Ok. That's the best part of that awful experience. Get well soon and get your scoot fixed up and back on it. Resist the impulse to break that...
This sucks. Stupid drivers. The accident was her fault. Get a good lawyer and sue. Seriously. They can supeona her cell phone records to show she was on...
Absolutely what Curtis said. You need to talk to an attorney now. Sounds like the ‘witness’ has filed a false report and perjured themselves – that is a...
Brian - I had to relocate the fuel gauge because I installed the "glovebox" I purchased from Motorsports Scooter. I cut a square hole (same size as the one it...
Thanks so much for the feedback, especially from Tony. I'm a very cautious rider and always expected the unexpected. I'm starting the think that driving a car...
Glad to hear you're OK. If I was in the same position I surely would have gone with the paramedics and go through the nine yards with the emergency room. I...
While I'd find more personal satisfaction by applying an 18-inch piece of re-bar to her pearly whites, the other folks here are giving you some good advice. If...
In fact, it is a privilege, not a right. Not that our driver education and licensing system ever actually prevents anyone from getting a license. Chris...
Memory loss, fading in and out of confusion... you should have gone with the paramedics. Glad your maintenance guy made you go to the ER. The adrenaline can...
Shit! I cannot believe your story. It make me so angry that kind of things. For the hell where are humanity going? I understand now why it is so important to...
Holy cow! This is awful. I am so glad you weren't hurt more severely. That lady in the SUV is a jerk. She'll get what she deserves. Grrrr...This just makes my...
Serenity Rose- I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope you heal quickly & completely. I agree with Curtis. Get a good lawyer! You are a witness, too, and ...
Dan (et al), I knew it - as soon as a posted the questions, I'd figure it out. That is - yesterday it occurred to me to try to see if pulling back on the ...
OMG, Serenity!! You are so lucky! I can't believe she tried to put you at fault. Yikes. Thank goodness you are OK - I agree - make sure you've got a good...
I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced the primary drive gear in the clutch. I messed mine up when I was installing some sliders. I was wondering how hard...
I have witnessed simiilar accidents between SUVs. People are just lousy drivers. Surveys show about 80% of drivers think they are better than average. Only...
im glad that u r ok. that driver is a bastard. u got good advice here. also it might be a good idea to contact your own insurance company and tell them what...
Happy to hear that you are okay for the most part. Wishing you the best of luck in turning around the false report given by the driver of the SUV and her...
Wow! I so glad you weren't more seriously injured. My experience with drivers who cause accidents is that they always, always lie. They may jump out of their...
A new riding season is approaching. For many of you it has already begun. This year I am seriously considering not riding my scooters ever again. My mind is...
