Beautiful day for a ............................

It is a beautiful day for a scooter ride BUT the 44┬░ high pretty much means these old bones will have to pass. The problem being after I ride for a 1/2 hour or so the legs don't want to extend to prevent falling over. As my MIL says "Old age is not for sissies, but you must learn to adjust."

I'm stuck not riding as well. I'm only 20 but I have two scooters that don't yet run, and on top of that I have to be sick today. Jim Croce says not to spit into the wind; I'm sure puking holds the same concept.

that sucks.

as 30 yr/old semi-retired BMX rider/dealer auto technician , my body is pretty jacked-up too, and i'm sure i'll be in your boat soon enough. a good hot-tub can go a long way

do they have big training-wheels ?

I thought about one of those retractable side wheels systems like some of the big bikes have but that would require a hydraulic or an air pump and rams, etc.............. Seems like a lot of work when I can just go out and start up the truck with a 7 way electric seat and a big heater and power everything.

If I want to ride I have quads, cars, trucks and there is even bus service to my door. The idea of modding the scooter is interesting, but way to much work and money, besides I don't think I could survive another bike accident. On top of that next week they are making me even more bionic with a new brace on the badly screwed up left knee (plateau fracture, bone graft, 4 screws and 2 pins from a 1984 water skiing accident).

I will take my 44┬░ high with blue skies and snow on the mountains and pass on your thunderstorms.

I'd rather ride in the rain than in the snow anyday!

Besides, between the 27 earthquakes we had this month, our constant tornado watch, the current burn ban we are under and the threat of flash floods we have every storm, it is still 71* outside!

If you go with a Met they do. Check out Tow Pac trike kits. Are 12" wheels big enough?

That sucks the only thing that stops me from riding is the rain.
