Being prepared : What do you take with you on your scooters?

At Sunday's "Relaxed Ride" some of us were discussing items we carry on our scooters for emergencies. A large part of our enjoyment of scooter riding depends upon preparation. Such preparation includes checking your bike and dealing with any small repairs while you're still in the driveway........

Good preparation also includes having the right tools handy to manage routine and emergency on-road repairs, i.e.. at least getting to safety or back home if possible.

That's why many… Continue

At 10:12pm on August 12, 2011, william foster said…: I HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS, THEY TOOK THREE DAYS TO GET HERE. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT OUT TOMARROW AND DO THE BREAK IN. I HAVE SOME ERRANDS TO RUN. YES I AM VERRY GLAD THAT IT IS GOING AGAIN. YES I WILL BE OUT AND ABOUT NEARLY EVERY DAY. I LOVE RIDING, EVEN IF ITS WET, AND OR COLD I HAVE THE PROPER CLOTHING. I AM LOOKING FOR A BIGGER SCOOTER.

At 9:13pm on August 12, 2011, william foster said…: HELLO STEVE. GOOD NEWS, MY SCOOTER IS UP AND GOING AGAIN. I HAVE TO BREAK IN THE NEW PARTS. I RODE IT SOME TODAY AND FOUND IT TO BE VERRY RESPONSIVE. I NEED TO PUT ABOUT 100 MILES ON IT FOR THE NEW PARTS TO BREAK IN PROPER. I DONT THINK I WILL MAKE THE CRATER LAKE RUN, AFTER THE BREAK IN I WILL NEED TO RE-TIGHTEN THE HEAD BOLTS AND RE-ADJUST THE VALVES.

At 8:48pm on August 10, 2011, william foster said…: I HAVE MY SCOOTER TORN APART. IT IS IN SEVERAL PILES. I FOUND THAT THE RINGS ARE BAD, THERE IS SOME SCARING IN THE CYLINDER, AND ON THE PISTON. I AM ONLY REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS AT THIS TIME. LATER THIS WINTER I WILL REBUILD THE ENGINE. I HAVE THE PARTS.

At 8:19pm on August 8, 2011, Bob Block said…: I've started back toward Oregon. My trip expanded from 3 weeks to about 6 weeks or more. Not sure when I'll get back. Still have some things on my list to see. I'm still planning on Crater Lake, but need to talk to wifey first. She's been pretty understanding about this trip, but I may be treading lightly for a while.

At 12:23pm on July 7, 2011, Brian Lowther said…: Thanks Steve, but really Melody is doing all the work of building the group; she is such a spokesperson!

Yes come and join us for a ride or two, and there are still a couple left in the year!
