    Fuel gage is not reading right?

    I am sure I left the key in the ignition but pretty sure I did not have it in the on position as the engine is supposed to be off when fueling up I would not have left it on. Not totally sure though.

    Fuel gage is not reading right?

    Maybe I just don't know how this gage works but judging from my last bike I think my BMW is giving a false reading. I noticed the tank was just over mid level when I drove it off the lot. While on my way home with it I noticed the level dropped another increment. Next time I was out on it I...

    Ballistic Jersey

    I'd rather just wear some knee pads maybe knee and shin. When the temps are 106 or more there is no way to avoid a sweat bath.

    Pavement Treats Scooter Riders Just Like Motorcyclists

    Sorry but when it's 106 degrees out riding pants and a jacket are out of the question. The vents in the jacket don't help when the air is hot as an oven. I wear shorts because jeans or shorts your legs are going to get torn up. Currently I do not have any ballistic jersey to wear because eI...

    Who own's the BMW?

    The wave! LOL When I first got a scooter I did not expect any motorcycles riders to wave at me. I soon found I was counted in the two wheel brotherhood. It's off however in that in my State WA I have found most riders do not wave at each other. In Idaho they do so I have a rule, I don't wave at...

    Chinese Scooters

    I have a lesson learned, DON'T EVER buy any bike made in China and most parts of Asia. Some Asian nations are better then others but none compare to the big name brands like Honda, BMW, Suzuki, Yamaha Etc. When I decided I wanted to get a scooter I heard the bad reviews on made in China...

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    Reminds me of the guy who came into the ER one night. Some kid road a skate board into his path and he was only in a 25 Mph zone. To avoid hitting the kid he ended up in a high side crash. He came in and died, they revived him and sent him out to another hospital via life flight. He came back as...

    My new BMW Moped!

    I think after 150 CC's the bike should lose the scooter designation. Automatic motorcycle would be fitting.
