Scoot safety?

vnice · Post by **vnice** » Mon May 05, 2008 11:44 am

I am going to be getting a scoot very soon, and I have read all the safety rules about motorcycle/scooter riding. I'm wondering if there are any tips to know for those of us who can only go 30mph on a 90 pound scoot?

Wear a helmet, and I personally like the extra noise (and performance) of a muffler with 2 baffles drilled. It sounds more like a dirt bike muffler and is definitely louder than stock, and will help people notice you.

I found this info helpful. If my friends are going to use my Spree's for the first time I make sure they read this...

if you can't keep up with traffic on the main roads stick to the side streets

Always assume everybody is out to kill you.
Dont be a fool, always wear a helmet.
If you get something slow (stock spree) stay out of heavy trafic and try to avoid any road over 25 mph.
Learn how to beat the s*** out of your bike without crashing(rough driving skills can save you from eating pavement)

This is how I think/drive.
