Hi veldog,
Sorry I'm so late getting to this reply. Haven't had much time to surf lately...
I am running a Strada RX-8, a 50cc 2-stroke. I want to do some upgrades over the winter when/if extra cash comes my way. I also have a Vintage Honda CL-100, a 100cc 4-stroker that I'm working on. It runs, but it's a little rough, especially in the cold.
I'm in Muskegon, but I've scooted all the way to Jenison before. Maybe we could meet halfway and do a ride sometime? There's another guy here in Muskegon who has Yamahas. I could probably get him to come too.
What's in your garage?
-Mike

Wireburn, We've got a group of us crazy scooter boys over here, last summer we went to Muskegon and north a couple of times. I've got several scooters, Tank 150, 2 Vento 150cc Phantoms, 2 Vento 50cc GT5's, and a bunch of 150cc Longbo's that I just bought at a fantastic price. Also have some Strada's like yours at work, a few Rx8i's that I just bought and 2 Strada RX150i's too. No, I'm not a dealer but got the bug . . . need to dump a few of these to make some room. Have a SuperStrada 300cc which I like a lot too. Getting some modifications to it right now, putting a larger windshield on it. Stay in touch, when it warms up, we'd be happy to head out your way or we could meet in Ravena or someplace near there. see you Curt Hi veldog, Sorry I'm so late getting to this reply.

Dang dude, that's a lot of scooters! Definitely drop me a line when you go out. I may even be able to keep up with your 150's with the mods I'm doing to the RX8. I might want to take one or two of those scoots off your hands. There's a guy I work with who wants one, also I might be able to get my wife to want to ride.

My Friend Jim just started to go to your meeting. He missed the last one due to some technical difficulties, and the rain we've been having...... I'll try to make it. Still need to take my road test, and become 100% legal yet.....

Hi all. There still isn't a real scooter club to hook up with here in Grand Rapids. There is a few people that say they have a scooter club but it is still in a state of infancy. If you're not in their clique your pretty much labled an outsider or trouble maker and banished. I hope we can get a REAL club going here someday with some real brotherhood. Thanks.

South Haven here...Jonway Wasp...tuned to the max...52mph by GPS...gas mileage sux now...but hey...I have a repair shop and I am a parts dealer...so somebody has to try out Hy Po parts before ya sell them to customers right?.. ;D There is a scooter club in Kalamazoo..called The Moped Army.....but you can't be a member unless you have a bicycle looking pedal type ride. Many of them ride the old Solex mopeds....I laugh as they are screaming 10,000 rpm going 29-30 and I blow by them at 50. They wear leathers with patches and all...like a Harley gang..makes me laugh...cause their motto is on the back of their leathers....it says..."Moped Army our motto is swarm and destroy"...ha ha ha...oh sh!t...I just fell outta my chair..
