After recently adding an '08 Yamaha Zuma to my stable, I rode to work in full leathers for a bit of ironic humor. One of my coworkers took this picture and has now circulated it around the squadron to promote motorcycle safety.  | ||

I got a full 1 piece leather suit I use on my Blast, I get interesting looks from the squid in a skull cap on a R6 at work. | ||

"ummm.... road clearance?" I don't know yet if road clearance would prevent knee dragging, but the tires definitely do. I've got a set of sticky michelins on the way with a street-only tread pattern. $80 for a set of tires shipped lol.. "60 hp with all those performance stickers!" 3.5HP.. it's still stock other than some cutting/sanding on the throttle cam to allow more throttle travel. The stickers are for more irony only and have nothing to do with the Zuma. Notice the American Sport Bike sticker you can see in the picture  Those stickers are all from Buell parts. This thing is an absolute hoot to ride around town on. Being designed for light offroad use, it has higher quality suspension components than I've seen on some scooters. It's perfectly safe to ride in 40mph zones. 45 zones are alright as long as I stay in the right lane and keep an eye out for drivers in a hurry. | ||

 Take that thing over any sweet jumps? | ||

NICE, get to hot-rodding that thing up, besides knee dragging a burn-out would be great! | ||

You MUST install a performance variatior in that scoot PRONTO!!! I finally broke down and dropped the $70 bucks for mine and it was worth way more than that in performance. throttle response off stops ins instant, it will wheelie now with little effort from slow roll. I can even beat cars across intersections (Athena made mine, there are lots of them, just get one!!) | ||

with sticky tires on it getting a knee down shouldn't be too hard... http://flickr.com/photos/11024337@N03/3340214378/ http://flickr.com/photos/90982314@N00/1570533869/ http://bp2.blogger.com/_Mvhjidbvdzc/RnqjFTQd3WI/AA AAAAAABAA/2w9NKLThm9o/s1600-h/g1.jpg and that was just a quick google search. And yes, the last one is the Gilera 3 wheeled scooter. | ||

As I've posted before scooters are huge in Europe & performance stuff is readily available. Just shout if you need anything sending. | ||

Athena variator on the way. $62 shipped from scootertronics  Pulled the rear signal stalks off a couple days ago.. Cut the reflector plates off of the bulb housings and moved the bulbs up to behind the extra lenses next to the tail light. It sure is fun modding and riding a 2 wheeler that's so small and lightweight. Full coverage insurance for $6/month. Just have to find a go kart track willing to do scooter track days  | ||

There aint no scooter better than this. | ||

There's a group here in GA that races 50 cc scooters in the mountains. It looks like a hoot.  |
