JR - The one on the top left might be good for the boards scooter gang. The Mild Piglets is what my workmates sometimes call those riding 49 to 150cc scooters, especially the vintage style scooters like my Lance with the swept back handle bars..

Beautiful Custom Starwars Landspeeder made from a 600cc Honda Silverwing. Picture Leo tooling around on one of these with the addition of some whitewalls:   orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/5448026486.htmlWho's going to jump on this one and ride her home? |

Then there are the guys putting 250 or 300cc Honda CB whatever engines in 50cc scooters and advertising them on Craigs List as "NO LICENSE REQUIRED". I saw two such adds in the past month.

We can still have fun with it. The black knob while not much still offers some protection against getting slashed by the key head when its in the ignition. I bump my knees on it too easily on some bikes. |

Kat - I had an employer get arrested for parking in a 5 minute zone while eating his lunch. The officer asked nicely for him to move the vehicle so he moved it about a foot and then proceeded to argue with the officer about sartisfying the point of law by doing that. The officer warned him that all he had to do to avoid a ticket was drive away and ended up having to give him a ticket which the boss threw out the window. He ended up in jail and loosing thousands of dollars in business over now wanting to honor the 5 minute parking zone or comply with the officer.
How you present yourself and talk can make a big difference in the outcome of any situation. Write down the badge number and bring the matter up with the City Attourney, your selectman, etc or go to court with your best manners and 99.999% of the time no jail time will be involved in traffic court.

Living each day as if it were your last mean many things to many people. To the Epicurean's it meant an over the top party attitude while for me it means being the best person you can be each and every day leaving those in your care provided for if today were to be your last and the book was closed on what type of person you were.

You should point out the cop was using a radar gun unless the cop knows and understands how to use it if you can get the cop to admit that there was a car close behind you ,you can argue that he was picking up the speed of the car behind you this happens the radar gun see,s and reads the cars speed because its bigger . Stand your ground do not plead guilty!! and if can,t afford a lawyer the state will have to pay for one your position should be my scooter is 49cc is not capable of 45mph therfor non of the other tickets would apply . If you let the courts know you believe your not guilty and will go to a jury trail I got a ticket in July was put in jail had my scooter impounded been to court 5 times now today I just got home from the latest court date I have turned down a plea bargen and we was set for a jury for this wedsday . To day the judge seen the case for what it is a waste of the courts time and has reset it agene for may But she told the prosecutor she intends to dismiss it . I will move to sue for all my lost time and money STAND YOUR GROUND Indianapolis ,IN Why? Jail time with all this bother and potentially lost time at work along with loss of personal time to prove what? How does one turn a basic traffic stop and citation event on a 49cc scooter into jail time without assaulting the officer or getting a contempt charge levied against you once in a courtroom? Cheaper and less dramatic to take the online refresher course than to go this route. Event is over in less than an hours time online from the comfort of your home with no jail or court time and the ticket is usually recinded unless you have multiple offenses where you were guilty. |

Rode most of the week and it almost got too warm to keep the liner in my jacket today on the evening commute today even though it was quite chilly in the mid 70's the sun was still pretty intense.

Try out an Aprilia SR 50 DiTech which can do around 65 mph stock.
This one which has a LeoVince Exhaust does about 70 mph:

And Lance as well? Rampant speculation...    . Lance's Alliance division has been the West Coast Sym distributor for some years now with rumors that Pierspeed would get the East Coast however the Pierspeed deal didn't appear to have happened. Still Lance was great to deal with and I would hope by extension that Alliance would be the same. |
