Love that little Honda Mini Trail 50!  I considered a couple DiBlasi folding scooters for the boat a few years ago, but I was outvoted by the Blonde and the cat.

The PCXes will do 65mph... do I get to pick where we'll race?   ;)

No!  it has to be mountain trails ;D  Mine only could get up to 35on the open flat road, and that was when I had a thinner waist line.   :-[

This forum just gets better. We've got bikers here as well. I'm a passionate biker, manage a Suzuki dealership for a living, but "cheating the other guy and passing the savings on to you" is OK until the other guy comes back. It's really tough in the trade at present, the recession has hit the "Boys Toys" market hard, but I've still got a job and spring should be here soon.

I like those small bikes.  For a few decades, I kidded my friends that "anything smaller than 1,000cc is a 'beginner's bike'!"   Since getting these scoots, I have experienced an "awakening" ... or maybe I have finally grown up?  No, that's not it.   ;)

Oh, and that race in the dirt - gonna pass.  I might get dust on my bike.  ;D

I know some motorsports dealers have taken a real beating the past few years.  Two things have been a constant in my life for over 4 decades: guitars and bikes.  WAY cheaper (and more fun) than therapy!

Best wishes,

Here's a real blast from the past...
