45 mph!

Post by Jim Moore »

I was running some errands in the outer bands of Irene the other day. I caught a pretty good tailwind and a slight downhill at the same time. I happened to look down and the speedo was BURIED to the right. the engine sounded like it was coming apart. I finally had to roll off. I was afraid it was going to explode.

Was this on a spree or an elite?

Kinda like storm-chasing, but the storm was chasing you and your scooter. Sounds fun, except the "motor exploding sound" thing. :confused:
