Got up on the highway for the ride home. Makes 65 easily, but seems a little wobbly. Might just be me. The temp stayed at the 1/4 to 1/3 range, very low, until I got off the highway when it rose to 1/2 but got no higher than that. I'll change the oil at some point this weekend, but it seemed OK.
I really like this one!

You can read about his bike here. I have the same 16" wheels and it's not a wobbly bike. You'll find that those wheels follow grooves in the road and sometimes it will seem like it's wobbling a little. Those big wheels actually add to the stability. Also, they have a short rake which makes for awesome handling but the bike can change direction rapidly so that adds to it. However, you get used to it and soon you'll find you won't even have to think about it because it will stop as you compensate for that effect. 16" wheels are a little tippy at very low speeds though but it's worth it. Here's some pics from SYM of Steelblade's HD200:

A real scooter, flat floor board. Wish more manufacturers would think about making a real scooter...step thru.... instead of the step over.

Thanks Bash for that link and picture. The red one is pretty much it, but I got some free sparkles put on mine. I may leave them if it don't look too 'girly', I kinda like them.
I expect a chance to get good daylight pictures on Friday.

Those mount by way of the rear view mirrors? I'll have to take a close look at them when I get pictures in a few.
