Hi all I have been lurking for several years courtesy of Tapatalk. I ride a Kymco xciting 500 ri 2010, currently with 48600km. I aquired the scoot used from a dealer with 14000km in late 2013. I traded in a Kymco grand dink 250. Very happy scootin in the sun in the Cape.
hi from the opposite side of the planet! (im in norway!) can we trade weather? its cold and wet here.....
Hi skubabiker You can keep that "cold and wet" business ... We had some rain last week, but sunny again, with temps about 17 degrees c. No wind. I am about to hop onto the scoot with the wife and take a ride to the mom-in-law. Could get a free lunch out of this major sacrifice!
free lunch is always good! im going to help my father in laws uncle (great uncle in law?) with a 50 year old bike today, luckily its heated in his workshop, as we have this crazy storm blowing in from over the mountains, no rain, but its cold (like 7 degrees today, yesterday it was 14 or so!)
Hi I could not reply as we were on the road,and also my mobile isp was having technical dificulties, so no data network was available. I am back home now, and that 50 old bike sounds interesting. Even more interesting is where you will get spares, if needed. Have fun.
We got a nod from another crotch-rocket rider on the way back... My scoot looks just like a big bike from the front.
old brit bikes are quite easy to get spares, i had an old japanese bike a few years ago that was impossible to get parts for.... the old bike ran well, we got it to run on a nice even idle, needs a quite big list of parts, but all in they only cost around 120 pounds including delivery. i wave to everyone when riding any bike, mostly people dont wave back if im on a small bike, but sometimes they do.
