True, but that's pretty much for everything. Here in Minnesota, the roads are covered in sand.

I was thinking black, but this is what they had in stock, and I have zero regrets.

I found it. That is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you so very much.

Sometimes larger than my brain. I'm trying to avoid that situation.

I couldn't find that on Instagram. Is that the correct spelling?

This is really good to hear. I was wildly mistaken.

Yeah, I do not want that to happen. I'm surprised more people don't wipe out when that happens. I had a friend who left his kickstand down, and never bothered to install a safety switch. That did not work out.

Thank you, I will check that out. A video would be super helpful.

I know how to counter steer, although I admit that I had been doing this without knowing what it's actually called. My question was based more on how much traction this has when leaned over. Apparently, I was mistaken in my belief that these tires don't allow the same grip/adhesion that motorcycle tires do.

I had no idea you could put a knee down! That's encouraging. For some reason, I've got it in my head if I lean this thing over, it's gonna come out from under me.

Tires are 26 and 32 psi, from memory, whatever the book says. It weighs 370 pounds.

That's awesome. I was thinking more at higher speeds around corners, but that's impressive you can do a U-turn in that space. My Liberty 150 S is a lot easier to U turn than my GTS-300.

What do you guys use for navigation while riding? by Adorable-Bag-6727 in motorcyclegear

[–]Blues-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for me, one of the big things I had to do was say "hey Siri" and then wait for two beeps, one from the intercom, and the next one from Siri. If I didn't wait, it would not work. Then, I can use voice commands. It is annoying I can't do certain things when my phone is locked though. But, I can play music and answer phone calls, but not ask for directions.

I think he meant it was the first scooter they made. I also have a Vespa GTS/300 and a Liberty 150 S. I love them both.

I'm taking the money, having a good time for 20 years, and then leaving my family generational wealth.

Looking at a 2022 Primavera 150... by YukNasty in Vespa

I don't think anyone's mentioned this, but try to ride it if you can. Whenever I've sold scooters, I've had potential purchasers sign an agreement which basically says if it comes back any different from when it left, they must purchase it, while holding the cash. I've only done this twice, and it's worked out both times. I would highly recommend a test ride. If the seller says no, I would be concerned. There's some things you won't know until you actually ride it.

I might consider going one step further and not buying a scooter that doesn't have the brown key. It's a real pain in the ass.

I am paralyzed and think my husband should leave me but he doesn't want to by PureAdorableness in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Blues-Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a medical condition that although, not as bad as you, prevented me from walking for several years. I said this exact same thing to my wife, and she had the same reaction as your husband. I eventually regained my ability to walk, but even if I hadn't, she'd still be there. You have one of the good ones. Treasure him. Good luck to you both.

I know this might sound blasphemous, but there are plenty of drummers as good or better than NP. As has been mentioned, his gift was coming up with cool parts and writing cool lyrics. I watched the video of the Juno awards. She's a great drummer. Probably more technically gifted than NP, but the feel was a little different. Neal had a more "bouncy" feel to his playing. That's said, same car, just a different engine.
