IIRC, you'll have to manually resolve it. Just so ya know.

I've been remiss on following up here. I appreciate all the input of the fine folks here. After considering my options (and test riding a few 125 and 300 cc scoots), and straddling (with the owner's permission, of course!) a 650GT that happened to be parked at the dealership, I decided to...

I had ordered a set of the carbon pads for my C650GT along with the side stand enlarger before I saw the negative experience on this thread. The main thing I wanted was the pad that protects the area around the ignition key, which of course is peeling off. I'll hand it to their customer...

I've sent the tick tock to you via PM.

I can send you a copy of the step-by-step the dealer uses, if you're interested.

I guess that I had read from your original post that you had changed the oil somewhere between 600 and 6000. My bad.

Paypal disputes are basically used for two things: Item not received, as in you paid, but they didn't ship the item or shipped you the wrong item. Item not as described. Once the dispute is opened, the monies that are the subject of the dispute are held in escrow by PayPal until the...

I found a brand new OEM Akrapovic for $400 shipped, so I'm going to pass on that. (Unless, of course, I get a box with a couple bricks in it. :P) Might make an offer on the throttle lock once my fun money coffer is refilled at the end of the month.

When/why did you do a change between the 600 and 6000 service? The remainder of the checks the dealership is going to do seem fairly straightforward. If you'd like, I can shoot the spec sheet for the 6k service your way.

It's not so much the impact but the slide that you should be worried about. IIRC, every MPH over zero that you're going when you hit the ground has the potential to cost you a millimeter of skin/flesh.

Sounds like you need a pair of these. Good mesh pants ventilate very well. I've got a pair of Olympia Airglide 3 pants that I barely notice I have on, unless I'm stopped at a light for more than a couple minutes.

This forum really irritates me (not y'all, you're wonderful. the software). I can't type a post without getting logged out when I try to hit 'post'. I have a longer and more thought out post prepared, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. Hound, Steve, and James: Thanks very...

It certainly does make me want to move to PA :P Thanks very much for the contrary advice; that's sometimes hard to come by on the interwebs. Both of you make fair points. The 300 GTS is certainly on my radar. The styling does appeal to me, and lighter weight vehicles have some advantages...

I've contemplated that; other bikes in the power envelope I'm looking for aren't dramatically less expensive, and as I said - I'm a no half measures kind of guy. If I'm going to give this the old college try, I want to have the best tools available. I also have a feeling this will stick and...

Thanks for the quick reply, Jaime!

Hi folks - My name is Will, and I want to become a scooter addict. (Hi, Will!) I thought I'd come by a meeting of scooterholics anonymous, and ask a few questions. By way of a bit of background, my wife and I only have a single vehicle between us. This has, up until now, been a...
