Dunno much about Aprio, but welcome to the site. Mocking here? No... never...

There are a couple of giant dorks in here though...

Cowpoos sounds like a good bugger tho but it is funny how he sniffs out newbie chicks!

Tui board yes, but that is not the one I had envisaged.

Welcome to kb, so wheres your rock located?

**kickingzebra** · 15th April 2006, 18:23

Can get some mean wheelies on scooters!!! and assisted burnouts!! You'll gain credibility points by not wearing a peanutshell helmet, and wearing teensy weensy miniskirt and top while riding...
Scooters crash too, so wear the gear...
Actually, some might say miniskirt etc is just fine... not me though LOL.

My rock is a travelling rock, commuting between Dunedin and Christchurch these days. In a month's time the rock should find itself a damp and mouldy little place in Christchurch where it can settle down for a while. The rock currently has to commute on a bus as going to Chch on a 50cc scooter is a little too adventurous.

Welcome to KB

I've got a nice K3 full face covering helmet and a padded bike jacket (not leather though) and an assortment of gloves. It's too damn windy and cold here to faff about in inadequate clothing anyway!

When I first test-rode the Aprio which was also my first time on a scooter, I did a wheelie by accident. The guy from McIver and Veitch (the bike store) had just finished telling my husband how my scooter was really easy to wheelie and woosh, up I went. I managed to stay in control and didn't drop it or come off, so that was at least something.

Welcome to the madhouse MSM, please keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times and please don't feed the Honda riders!

Legend for wheelying (is that a word?) a scooter! You'll fit in real well here.
