Hey everyone,
Just thought I would introduce my new scoot to the forums. I must say I really do like it here and have learned a lot by reading and observing other members posts. I hope to contribute a lot more to this website in the future and hopefully my knowledge on scooters will continue to expand. Just can't get enough of my new scooter. So to end the chit chat, I uploaded a video of me reviewing my new scooter and hope you all enjoy. Any feedback is welcome and I apologize ahead of time due to me being a bit shaky in the video. Twas rather cold up here in NY today and a bit windy and I have been sick for the past week or so. Enjoy and feel free to comment or criticize!
Yours truly,
Kevin N.

Thanks Hank She has come nothing short of bringing me joy and so far no problems and hitting almost 200 miles! Larrball I picked this scooter up from Extremescooters.biz. Chad had been helpful throughout the whole purchase procedure and constantly kept me updated without me even asking. MCO arrived promptly as well. Roughly 2 days after I submitted!

Nice scooter nice video. I looked down on the China scooter. Until I've been riding one for a couple thousand miles

Thanks Yoshi! I too was very skeptical about getting a China Scoot because previously I was looking at a Honda Elite and everything I looked up on Chinese Scooters was talking about how cruddy they are. Well then I found these forums and after looking at the price tag Honda wanted for a 2010 Elite which the previous owner also washed out on, I decided Chinese was the way to go. Have no regrets thus far and these forums are great for new comers

If you buy a good Chinese scoot you might be ok. I purchased a Chinese scoot for $1300 and it turned out to be junk. Never ran right. Dropped dead right in front of the DMV immediately after I had taken my road test. (Thank God I passed on the first try. Was really worried. Some young men had failed or dropped their machines. I thought if those young men can't pass, an old lady like me will surely fail!!)
My husband had to come with his truck and rescue me. If the scoot had died anywhere else, I might have just left it there. My husband said if I wanted to ride, then I had to buy a decent scooter, no more junk. So I bought a Honda Reflex 250. Great machine. Love riding it. Put couple thousand miles on it pretty quickly.
I don't ride the Flex on the highway. Together we are not heavy enough to withstand the windwash from the cars and trucks. The cars and trucks like to blow me clear off the roadway!! So about 2 years ago I bought a Honda Silver Wing. Unfortunately, my legs are too short to ride it and it is too heavy for me. So I had a Tow Pac trike kit installed on it. Makes a great hwy vehicle. Took it from CT to MI this past summer. Great trip.
