Rode the TMAX to Lowe's last night to pick up an electrical outlet for the garage. I don't ride at night much at all since the deer crash, but really felt like riding despite the cold night. The vengeful part of me does enjoy being the only bike I see when the weather isn't perfect. That's from all of the "get a real bike" comments and general disrespect that I got on small scooters when people seemed to be less tolerant of anything different years ago.
The wealthy tourist town center was pretty active. That area is all brick/cement/stone buildings in close proximity so I always enjoy making noise there. Expensive cars trying to follow large GPS displays and stopping or slowing for no reason made it more difficult, but I still managed. 😁

Today I spent £7.00 on petrol, drained the diesel from tank and run it up till carb was clear. That is the cheapest amount I have spent on a scooter until...... I took it for a road test to see daughter and granddaughters. 6 yr old Alicia had to have a go around the estate for a spin. Her mum always said no way would she let her on a scooter a few years ago but has relented but now Alicia wants to go round town and grandad has to buy her a new crash helmet, armoured jacket and pants. So much for only spending £7.00 on it 🙃 but I don't regret it.

There will be no stopping Alicia now. You brought the habana then? There are two models. The custom with the wider bars. And the retro with the more traditional style bars. Apart from that they are identical.

Rode the Voodoo Buddy out to Portland Cars & Coffee for a brisk 32 mile Saturday morning ride. It was a lot of fun watching people glance at it, then do a double take when they saw the turbo. Rode like a champ the whole way there, and gave me a chance to check what it was doing on mileage. It did about 50MPG which is low for a scoot, but my tune is rich across the board, so I've got a lot of room to make that better if I feel like it.

Bit out of my price range aeroxbud but very nice looking one. I would be afraid of scratching it

Kaos that tune sounds OK. 50Mpg is good if it avoids damage. Looks like a fun machine, I like it
