i ride alone. i don't quite get the riding companion thing. i think they would slow me down, and are on a whole other bike, anyway. so i am not exactly riding with them. plus i am a full time rider so if you're riding with me you're going where i am going and doing what i am doing. and 'id rather do my daily commuting alone!

group rides? i been on a few and plan on going on a few more. they are long and slow 'n slower on a scoot and the only thing i can think of when our destination is reached and we hop off the bikes is i want to ride more.

preferably, alone. its how i like it along with some music

thats exactly what it is, most likely. probably ordered them and got a discount and is trying to profit a few hundred on each scoot. or more

$800-$925 for the lowest of chinese 50's lucky to hit 35mph? ugh

and....50cc's with WINDSHIELDS!!

not very. thanks for the reminder, though. gotta admit its been a couple months. probably low

does looking at them and thinking "those look ok" count?

oh, and a bicycle tire pump works great on my 10 and 12in wheels. no compressor needed. i go by the sidewall. when they were OEM the manual

yeah 50mph if you're real lucky DX

i like the 250 deal. get it at a somewhat better price, even a few hundred dollars off is 10%, give or take. so say a savings of $3000+ off the 350. bank the savings whether you get a loan or are paying cash. you can then save a bit more, or with a lower mileage BV250 on hand sell it later for say....$2500 give or take and add it to your savings and buy more scooter. or save the $3000 for upkeep of the 250. w/e you want to do but $3000+ saved just sounds good to me

if you're good at say 70mph with your wife on board should be ok. i mean it will go faster depending, but if that is a good cruising speed for you, great. many on the highway do not expect bikes with 2 up to be blazing trails, anyway. so i think cruising along at a reasonable clip like that would be fine 2 up

investigate the Modern Vespa forums and the wider web about the BV250 top end in general. pretty sure a complete picture will come to mind. and since top end is important to you two up you'll want to be sure it can meet your demands and road conditions again and again concerning top end.

oh, and its an OKAY deal. i would, as the above poster said, try to get it for somewhat less to make it a truly GOOD deal for YOU. as said, ask around the 'net at forums familiar with the scoot and its value

i get to the high 50mph to 60mph out of my 125 and 150. sometimes its the low 50's if conditions are adverse. i weigh 240 and both scoots are around the same

Oops. Well, looks like they are from overseas, after all. Young, brothers. Somehow I feel bad for these pathetic folks who do not value this life whatsoever. One of these is only 19. How does one come to believe like this? It must start early

Anywho i am going to figure the "lone wolf" kind of terrorists. "Inspired" and maybe with some connections here and there, but acting alone and perhaps instructed to. Its said with terror cells cut off from leadership and young people willing to die for the cause, some get itchy and go for the gusto alone. I guess they figure they will show they can't be stopped. And this is most likely true as it bears itself out time and time again

Terrorism is failed strategy, though. I wonder when they might realize this?
