Sort of shows the quality of the news agencies, doesn't it. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Bought it from the local Vespa dealer someone turned in with 1900 miles on it for a 125 Vespa. He wanted a less powerful scooter. I think your 250 motor must be about the same motor. Reflex just snazzed up the plastic. The Chinese make the same scooter without the Honda profit load on it for lots less. We compared the two. Mine has a parking brake. Theirs has an FM stereo radio built into the panel over where my parking brake lever is mounted and those little "air conditioner" holes we never figured out the use for is where the stereo speakers are mounted! http://www.powersportsmax.com/produc...roducts_id/634 Hmm...price dropped again! $1649 brand new. Honda wanted $4700 for it. It's the SAME scooter..... The Honda drive belt is $82 at local Honda dealers. Our chinese scooter shop sold me the EXACT same belt, right down to the brand name for $18! Guess whos parts I buy....(c;] I live in Charleston, SC. Been as far away as Columbia and Myrtle Beach on mine. Went to Myrtle Beach with two friends driving noisy custom Harley's. They took me along as a joke, expecting to leave me along side the highway. I was bound to stay with them and they finally gave up around 75 before we got ticketed....hee hee. "How fast will it go?", everyone always asks. "I don't know! The cops don't want me to find out.", is my answer....(c;] BTW, State Farm, my car insurance company sells me $100K/$300K/$50K liability insurance for it for $23/year. Uninsured motorist coverage is another $32/year, here. THat makes it cheap to keep, too! -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry |

: The sensible thing, if the problem is internal combustion engines is the problem, to limit them in size. Say 90 cc for a 2 wheeler and ,say 1 Ltr. for a 4 wheel. Heavy trucks? somewhere around 1.5 Ltrs., which would yield around 100 HP. But that wouldn't be politically correct and a poison pill for any politician who proposed it. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/05/1...lobal-warming/ The skeptics have a little monkeywrench for them this week. Here you'll find a graph of temperature on a sensor probe the Apollo 15 astronauts left running on the moon, out of range of the human blame game. Notice the "global warming" on the moon your SUV can't be blamed for.....well, maybe not. Mars has similar global warming problems unrelated to humans to explain away. GW is caused by the SUN....well, duhhh...(c;] -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry |

m: miniscule Excellent word, "miniscule". Human CO2 generation equates to 9.6 ounces of a 10,000 gallon swimming pool. "Miniscule", indeed! -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry |
