Greeting all.

My 1st bike was a Suzuki 80 when I was 11 y/o. Been through many since then.

I am 55 now and never a regret. Well only once. That hurt!

My present ride is a GL 1500.

I purchased a Roketa 250 moped style and love the lil critter.

Bought a hitch carrier for my RV and take this with us for simple transport.
I hate to tow. This meets the needs, and is fun for us.

I have to use the GL 1500 plates right now because of paperwork issues.

After a little tune the Roketa carries 2 medium people at 65mph.
Actually 55 feels a lot safer.

I look forward to learning any tricks this board can teach me.

I even bought a funky helmet with the Chinese star off Ebay for this.

65 on a scoot must be a hoot with 2 onboard at that! 8O

Welcome aboard, maybe you will get your paperwork staightened out shortly. Just keep on them. I plan to carry my GY-5 on my RV also, that is if I don't wear it out riding it to work. hehe.

Mine is an MC-54. Just a lot of fun. Whats more fun is watching my wife learn to drive it. O she has made it 50 yards before she whines. HAHAHA.
I can't do this. She has always been a great rider, never a driver.
Fun to watch this process. She has gotten a lot more respectful from the queen seat of the Wing.

A Roketa MC-54 250 held its value here in the midwest. Sold it for $15 less than I paid for it with 1000 miles. Why........Bought a Piaggio MP3 500.
Ride report comming soon..........GOOD!

I still kinda miss it.

winwun · 10-04-2008, 07:34 AM

At 76 things still look pretty good unless my Rincon has decided it wants to hand me my butt, which it does with some degree of regularity . . . 8O

My little GY-3 and Yammy Big Wheel also have taken DNA samples . . . 8O

The only think that hasn't hurt me (yet) is the 73 Honda 50 2sp. :wink:
