Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

You apparently haven`t ridden a post `84 Harley.........

Friends don`t let friends ride Chinese scooters.....

Ebay`s got tons of `em. Welcome to the forum!

Everything I`ve read about the Helix says it`s a fine scooter, BUT the blasted thing is UGLY!!! I know looks ain`t everything, but I don`t think I could handle all that ugly for a daily rider. From what I hear, the Helix is a bit faster than the Helix, and a much better feeling ride. Still ugly, tho...

That is one SHARP looking scooter. They can be found with low mileage for a pretty reasonable price, too.
If I was still in the rat race and making a daily commute, that would be the scooter I`d be using.

GTS 300 Super. If you like the nostalgic look, this one`s got the same displacement, GTV 300.
Bring your wallet........

How`s about this one? They claim she`ll do 80.

I had one of my old Harley buddies offer the same thing. I told him I`d do it, and his jaw dropped! Then I told him the rules: I`ll put a cup of gas in mine, and you put a cup of gas in yours, and we`ll race to Bridgeport and back.

He declined.

I've never had anything thrown at me. I get lots of thumbs up though. Sometimes the High school kids make fun of me because they have to walk like chumps. I did have a kid drive by me in the parking lot today when I had my plastics off checking my carb, and his buddy in the passenger seat told me t...

I live ten miles north of the deadliest city in America. Going anywhere without a gun simply is not an option. The guys that kick doors always make me smile. If you`re close enough to kick a door, you`re close enough to get side swiped and killed. In a car verses scooter battle, common sense dictate...

Only time I ever got anything mixed up is after a few beers and going from a 50cc Benelli (one up, three down) to a `72 Electraglide (one down, three up). Only took once......

I think I`ll skip the country club. Never cared for golf. Coundn`t get my ball pasts that doggone windmill!

Believe it or not, after going through the gears once, it becomes second nature. The rear brake on the foot board is like any motorcycle I`ve ever had, the front is like any two wheeled vehicle, it`s just the grip shift that`s different, but in a fun way. I did notice that, when pushing the scoot ba...

006.JPG Had to make a nine hour, 378 mile trip over to South Haven to get the little begger. It`s a Vespa PX150, made in India by Piaggio/LML, with 1100 kilometers on her. Little bugger runs like a raped ape, but if my wallet heels up by winter, I`ll be doing a little elfin magic on her. The paint ...
