thanks for making this post about politics

peoples republic of california, how original

if it takes hippies and gun laws to keep out more republicans, so be it.

one way to find your old michigan mafia friends would be to make a post about it.

like, even though we are snowbound we could still get together and get drunk somewhere.

or move to california and ride all year, except the 2 week out of the year when it rains for a few hours.

today my scooter club and i went for a terrific ride through the scenic side streets of san diego.
we are not brand specific snobs like so many other riding groups.
we have vespas,hondas,yamahas,kymcos, and plenty of chinese junks too.

if you are in san diego please join us sometime

cheer up, you have a faster 50 cc bike. my old beat up aero 50 would go 38 mph on flat ground.

id concentrate on the aero 80's
cool and rare
non existant in california due to emissions

do it, you can go far on an elite. i rode my first elite 150 15,000 miles in one year and the 250 i replaced it with went over 25.000 miles in 2 years. those were the days. it may be easier to find a 250 elite or helix as they were imported more years.

it is true that bigger wheels soak up bumps better. motorcycles have better suspension by far. however the speed and power of a motorcycle increases you chance of going too fast and getting in over your head. id rather bail off a scooter at 30 mph than try to put a heavy streetbike into a full panic ...

how many big elites are there out there. seems like most people on this site have 50cc spree and other 50cc two strokes. there is a big elite on the banner of the website so there must be a few.
i owned almost all of hondas small bike line. spree, aero 50, passport 70, trail 90, elite 80, elite 125 ...

in 1986 the prices i remember are as follows:

spree $595

elite80 $1195

elite 150 deluxe $1795

elite 250 $2295

helix $2795

my spouse's 1984 elite 125 transmission doesnt feel like its taking off as quick as it should. it seems like it isnt adjusting to low gear like it should. bike runs well otherwise, 50 plus top speed. seems like the 125 needs help. after a 15 mile ride it started * away from stops and clunking as it ...
