Got the G/F on 2 wheels finally

[Antallica]

Well, me and the g/f went and got her scooter today.

'94 Suzi AL50R (I think) for $1k @ the car dealership in town.
Bloody good takeoff, wastes me at the lights and just about everything else so far :D

Fun things those :rockon:


*next step* - real motorcycle ;)

I wouldn't convice anyone to buy a FXR unless they were a really shit rider. It's so piss easy to use, just like her scooter but more heavier.... she's getting raw power next time.

(resurrecting a dead thread here, but hey, why not...)

You're not doing it right, dude. Slip the clutch with the engine going about 9k in first, then do a clutchless upshift to second as soon as it's fully out. Ain't no scooter gonna beat what happens when you do that. I've done well off the line beside quite a few more 'respectable' vehicles. Of course, they pull away after another 100m or so, but I've had my fun and proven my point by then :buggerd:
