I can see all the others, but gloves, ankle boots and long pants is really a nanny state. Prevents insurance denials of coverage so the goverment does not get hooked for your medical care as often. US Armed Forces will all deny medical and loss of life coverage if you were riding a motorcycle/scooter at the time without a helmet, long sleeved riding jacket, long pants, gloves and over the ankle boots. The more budgets are streatched the more you will see these types of regulations not to protect you from yourself but to protect others from having to pay for your medical bills and such. That is soo true. The military, for years, has denied insurance settlements for any deviation of their regularions. Thanx for the reminder |

And,I apologize for hacking this thread for my own personal issues. But, back to the topic: Yea, PR seems to have taken a tough stance on MC's and scooters. Because the gob't knows better than we's do. and the bike (Magna 750 bobber) I was riding when I lost my leg, just to the upper left of the blue car, which the GMC in the background hit before hitting me. and, yes, that's the LF tire of the GMC. And, to show this is related. I was wearing a helmet and gloves, but shorts and skecthers. See, I can stay on topic Attachments:

Morning Alley
Can't wait to see what you got planned for us next.
In my worthless opinion, I think you be the best help here, and at your age, and you can remember stuff, and everything.
You da man.

Not the CRS as in the Air Force (Component Repair Squadron)

I can see all the others, but gloves, ankle boots and long pants is really a nanny state.
But, agreed, gloves save the hands from road rash
ankle boots may save broken ankels
And long pants is only common sense.
(I had the gloves on but was wearing sketchers and shorts when I had my accident)None of which would have saved me any more damage.
The helmet saved my life tho
I got stopped once for my psgr not having eye protection.
But gave her my helmet and i had my glasses on,so he let us go.
Got stopped in Sturgis for loud pipes, but the Bubs Exhaust hada baffles, so I got off there too
(Me, with my Honda 1100 getting stopped for loud pipes, with 500,000 harleys all around me-go figure)

I remember when oil was just 30W, OR 20W
My old VW Bus says to use straight 30W
Also, please advise me on if these scoots can use oil with energy conserving additives?
my Wing and Shadow Sabre have a wet clutch, and i gotta use non energy conserving oil.
(Yea, I'm new here)
Thanx
Dave (not as old as Allyoop)

Heads up guys.. Still looking for a scooter ..correction I found another deal Aprilia Atlantic 500 with 1200 miles.... getting hot!!! Sounds Good?  Sorry guys the Aprilia has 12000 mile is that to many.....pus I found a burgman 400s for 2200 only 2100 miles.. So this is what I have to decide on 03 aprilia atlantic 500, 12000 miles, $1800.00 06 burgman 400 s, 2106 miles, $2200.00 For 3 years newer and 10,000 miles fewer, I think I'd find the xtra $ and go for the Burgman. |

I have seen people convert bicycle trailers to toe behnd 50cc scooters for trips to the store. I would try and use something lighter than a car trailer for a 300cc scooter, but it would probably work. Bicycle trailer Great idea. Why didn't I think of that? Thanx Dave |
