This iz 4 all da h8erz.

1 - 1985 Saab 900S
1 - 2008 ChuanL Adventure 150cc
+ $50 out of pocket.

Not too shabby.

This scoot, which came with all available performance goodies that exist for these little things along with all of the original parts and a spare motor, tops out at 73mph. It gets 80+/-mpg and has a range around 200 miles.
The Saab had some problems when I bought it. They have been fixed.

Congrats on your purchases Jonathan. I'm glad you were able to keep a scooter in your life. I sure you'll probably get another larger bike when circumstances allow.

Does that Saab have 210K miles??? Looks good!!

Good luck with both.

Yeah. It has at least 210. The odometer only works every now and then. It'll work for a few miles after I pound on it. Then it stops again. I'll have to clean those little gears back there and see if I can fix that.

I know you're one of the fellas that thinks scoots are for the limp-wristed. No fear Sarris. In photo 4, you can see a blue of both my wife and my little boy. No fear.

Patrick even likes it. He loves all my "vroom, vrooms". My son, not the triple 7 guy.

Not to worry...I love all of your "vroom, vrooms" too.

Does your wife know about your secret gay lifestyle? :biggrin:

I go away for a few days, come back to find out that 180 plus 777 = gay scooter Saab lovers and there's a namesake love child.

Man, I gotta stop skipping the episodes during the week!

Next thing you know, EasyRider will be asked to come in and perform the exorcism of Marlana.
Sarris, and his on-again/off-again lover, Hope, will move out to their house boat and disappear for a couple of seasons.
I don't know what's supposed to happen to Al. The last thing I saw was that he got a call from Stefano and then just stood there with a bewildered look on his face, just before the credits started rolling.

Brother, I'm just glad your still riding. The gay part of the equation is the person aboard, not the bike. Most look the part. My biggest problem with scooters is that I'm too fat to get my knees together to ride like that for very long.

You have a beautiful son, are you sure he's yours???

BTW, you and Alan need to co-author a novel.

:whistle: :yes: :2tup:

Say what you want. Seriously, I've got:

-enhanced CDI box
-performance ignition coil
-exhaust
-spark plug
-pod filter
-kevlar belet
- lightened clutch
-clutch springs
-pulleys
-pulley weights

There is actually a scooter racing scene. Not too much into that but it helps for those who want a few extra mph on the top end.
On my commute to work today, the bike easily spooled up to 60 or so. Between 35-60, it just zooms right on up without any question. Take off speed is similiar to that of the GZ, if you are flying through the gears, and top speed is also similar.
It's certainly more twitchy, due to the small diameter tires, but it doesn't really bother me. The wheel base is so short that tight turns at speed aren't a problem at all. It just whips right through them.

You are a fortunate man w/ a beautiful family.

Be happy and FTW if they don't like it.

No, you push that big red button labeled "DON'T PANIC" and engage the Infinite Improbability Drive. :roll:
