REPORT: I've taken her on her first semi long outing. At first I took her out to our local high school that's about 5 miles outta town and rode her in and out of the pylons and didn't leave until I thaught I hand the handling down pat,you know,with the leaning stuff and all until I had that girl CONQUERED. Ithen proceeded on a apr.30 mi. trip from Mt.View,Mo. to Birchtree,Mo. and back and about 5mi of wash board and gravelly dirt roads. The handling on old sixty hwy was superb,the old hwy is more potholes than asphault and she dodges them with ease and rides fairly smooth over the ones I didn't miss. There was no rattles or vibrations or shakey fron end feelings,but,mind you now I never took her above 35-40 mph yet(breakin time) I had to keep her throttled down because she really wanted to run. There was however one little sound that bugged the crap outta me but I found it was just the speedo cable making a clicking noise but a little marine grease fixed that when I got home. It rode just as smoothly on the dirt roads at no more than 25mph there was a mile or two of washboards and she didn't walk all over the road like I thaught she would. The gravel or sand bunkers as I call them did would want to jerk the handlebar outta your hands but when I slowed to 10-15 mph they were no problem. I was just wearing a half helmet and the wind through that was horrible at best,I wish it could have a taller windshield,Oh well,a full face helmet with a sheild will take care of that. All in all I was Very impressed with My Liberty.

Hello Margaret it's me again. ;D ;D My roadrunner is 47 inches from out side to out side of the front tires,I'm not sure if that's what y'all are talking about though,that's what it even lists as the width of the bike in the manual,seeing that's the widest part of the bike. Oh,one other thing that might be helpful is that the dealer said when they first come in the first thing they do is get rid of the factory tires and put on after markets on it,I'll check tommorow for the brand name. daddue.

Hello fireman,I truly love my scoot,I took it out today for it's first long ride,I went on a apr.30 mi. trip today and it went flawlessly,I had to keep it throttled down because the old girl wanted to run and because it's still in it's breakin period.The ride was smooth without any shakes or vibrations but,remember I never ran it over 40mph due to the breakin period. Oh and about the different handeling?? YES..it'll scare the crap right outta you if you expect to drive it just like another scooter or trike. My advice is to just trust the lean and don't fight it and don't even put your feet down on the turns no matter how tight because it will only hinder your handling. DO NOT...I repeat..DO NOT start out in traffic until you have practiced and have gotten good at handeling this kind of bike,You will end up regretting it dearly. After you get used to it you will think it's they best bike you've ever ridden. that's my 2 cents worth.

Thank you so much sir,my first choice was an Icebear Compeller,but,the only shop that carried them around here weren't very keen on them and were supposedly having trouble with the warranties and other stuff and so my other choice was the Sunny from another shop. I really like the trike in your sig,that sucker is sharp.I've ridden mine twice for about 15 min all together and you have to throw out almost everything that you thought you knew about riding trikes or bikes with this one.If I can get out of the habbit of puting my foot down and only leaning into turns then I'll be ok.Old habits are hard to break.

Yes sir,you have your big built in trunk on the back top and the built in hard saddle bags on each side. One thing that I like about this scoot is the abundance of storage.

Hello friends,my name is Steve,I live in Mountain View,Missouri. I have worked at just about everything from doctoring cattle in west Texas in my earlier twenties to being a cert.nurses aide and med tech in my thirties and now I'm a director at two different Shelters for victims of domestic violence and sexual crimes. I have been at that career now for apr.10 yrs,but have worked along side them for around seventeen years now. I love coaching and waching sports,boating,fishing,hiking and just about any family stuff,the main word being family. I've owned six different scooters so far and the same amount of motorcycles. I'm in the process of finding my wife a scooter so we can ride together,I wish she would get at least a 150cc but I think she has her mind set on a 49cc so she doesn't have to take a drivers test.either way it'll be a blast. I have 4 children and 3 grand babies and I adore and am proud of all of them. I just turned 50 and I refuse to grow up or slow down. That's me in a NUTshell.PEACE my brothers and sisters of the scooter afliction. Attachments:
