Hey, everyone. I'm from Richardson, TX, just a little north of Dallas. I've been a motorcyclist for years, and have been scootering as a commuter for the past year or so on a Honda Elite 250 that I picked up for $500. I replaced the rear tire, and bought a battery and I was good to go. Later, I swapped the rear shocks from a Glory 150 ($22 on ebay) which was a dramatic improvement from the worn-out, non-adjustable stockers. The CH250 has been a joy- perfect for my short commute. For highway travels? Not so much. The stubby wheelbase that's so nimble around town gets twitchy above 55 or so, and the drum brakes at either end aren't exactly confidence inspiring at higher speeds.
It was clearly time for an upgrade to something that could commute and have enough punch for longer excursions. So, last month, I bought myself a belated 50th birthday present...
An '09 Tmax. Well farlkled, with only 1,200 miles. I'm still getting acquainted, but but I'm thinking I found exactly what I was looking for...
