Lots of scooters at my college
« Thread Started on Mar 15, 2012, 4:08pm »

I was at class at my college, and my scooter was parked with a bunch of other ones, so I took some pics. Mine is the orange wildfire 150. Just got the exhaust put on as well.

Look at this one that I took yesterday in the sunset too

Nice photos viper thanks for posting.

Hope the ol boy with the longbo 150 adventurer scoot's duck tape holds the front plastic up better then it did with the seat.
Hey with a seat like that I'll bet it's an adventure in every ride.

Viper, next go around you might want to stop in at the dollar tree and get him a new roll of "adventurer (sold separately) repair tape"

Nice!

I was street viewing places at random in Taiwan since I follow a cool dude on youtube who helmet cams his blog and lives there, so watching his videos is always interesting.
Here's a shot of some scooters in a random spot I landed, they are real common in Taiwan

I stopped riding my sport bike and got the TGB to take to class while in college at UF because there were too many inconsiderate $800 scooter owners who were constantly scratching my $12,000 sport bike. Huge motorcycle parking spaces, but even more scooters.

Nice. West Palm is one of my favorite places to fish, and avoid getting ran over by Bentleys Royces and Italian SuperSport Cars.

yeah the weather got real nice here last week and the fair weather riders came out at my school too, i try and ride 11 months out of the year.

my normal lot was packed so i went to my backup. it was close to full, on my way to another class i checked my third lot, darn near full too, lots of scoots out, only one impressed me, ruckus, with gy6 swap and some sweet add ons like a yoshi exhaust.

And most of them didn't even have the handlebars locked. man that is one trusting town! I wish we could do that everywhere. I hate having to lock mine down every time I get off of it.

most motorcycle park is near buildings (like right outside the door) which are constantly busy. and colleges are constantly patrolled by a small army of police. i have never locked my scoot at school. unless you have something like a telephone pole to lock it to a lock wont stop a thief, scooters light enough to be carried of or thrown 5 feet into a van. they going to take the scoot at a quiet place and have their way with the lock.

doomsday you have a scoot with a handle bar lock? what brand is that?

Same as most scooters. Turn the handle to the left and turn your key full left and it locks the front end. Mine is a TaoTao 50.

oh. i thought you had a handle bar lock like a motorcycle on the actual stem shaft i was jealous.

while i have never tested the theory i was betting the built in one was made of chinesium and only required a swift kick, or a stern talking to to defeat.

the built in one i do use, i though you had something better.
