howdy, hmmmm then the stella is carrying two spare tires, the one around my middle and the one of rubber---- that seems like a lot of weight added when i've ridden thousands of scoot miles and never had a problem with a tire. seriously humerous?

howdy, i can relate. once past the first few feet , you should have no problem. someone else above suggested a more rapid takeoff to get past the wobble bit quicker.
got invited to ride to pacific city oregon this sunday and found that riding with the other two motorcycles i was a bit unsure but i came back on my own and soon found the corners to be fun like they used to especially if i could glimpse a couple bends ahead and plan a series of turns. fun again. i watched the super bikes on the isle of mann last night. would not want to do that though would like to ride that route when under no speed pressure.
hang in there.

howdy, there is no such thing as getting even. it always escelates as the one getting even gets just a little more than even. thier getting even may get you killed and you would be dead right. i don't know the answer but when pushed in the corner i bite about like the mouse i was teasing when i was a kid. i still remember the bite it gave me and probably have the scar to prove it.

howdy, you won't be pleased to know that from my experience the second and third days are worse unless you can work and not lay up. actually some of those are coming back to haunt me in my ol-----mature age.

howdy and welcome, i remember what that's like------
as you notice , some give an indication of where in the world they are. that helps the responders to tailor the answer to your weather, terrain etc. or refer you to local parts supply and such. i do see your location in the first post but i always look at the left side panel to see where a person is from .

howdy and welcome to the forum. what part of the country are you near. as said, honda is almost always a good choice if it can do what you want to do.

howdy hank -words cannot convey the disgust i have for anyone who gives in to their lower nature and steals someones scoot and their time and their money and their blood and their sweat and their hopes and their dreams and their peace and dulls their enthusiasm ----etc
if i was of the vigilantes that cought them , i would suggest MUCH pain be inflicted and something valued by them confiscated and a mark put on so that if they are cought doing it again , some important body part can be removed. if that doesn't work i might get vindictive---
lotsa miles and smiles to YOU

howdy and welcome. i would still let off the throttle occasionally. that would be appropriate only on steady cruising at highway speed. in town riding ---go for it.

howdy, i like to suggest the cheapest and first balance test in just raising the front tire and moving it  % at a time and see if one side always goes to the bottom. if it does you need some weight on the other side. can't hurt. lotsa miles and smiles to ya ken |
