My wife's talking about a little 50 and I looked at Superior. What did they charge for shipping?

It looks like the seat would fit 2. As far as foot pegs, a lot of scoots have additional space for a 2-up rider's feet. It looks like the one you're thinking of has molding instead of pegs. Installing them may be a little tough because of the frame design. Just a note - if you're thinking of 2-up rides, get a lot of practice in. The MSF course recommends a year of experience before you try it.

Yep, I was in major withdrawal there. Almost as bad as winter. As far as I ride goes, I'll see what the weather does today. If it's nice tomorrow, I'll ride to class for the first time this term.
Scooterran - somehow I missed the Jeopardy guy.

HOORAY! I got my ignition parts yesterday. Installed them yesterday and finished putting all the plastic back together this morning. Talk about a pain if you're doing it yourself. The windshield was the worst. Went out for a test drive over the country twisties, hit some bumps at 45 mph. Looks like my plastic repair held. Talk about relief - I hadn't ridden since August 22.

Welcome Brandon. Can't help you with your problem but I'm sure interested in how it works out.

Scootaway - I teach Economics at the local community college so we're kindred spirits. One of the biggest things I try to convey is that we're a global economy and we are outsourcing ourselves into oblivion. We can't afford to ignore the rest of the world. Depending on the schedule, I also occasionally teach Astronomy.
The song you're thinking of is "Country Roads" -
"Almost Heaven
West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River....."
One of my all time favorites and great traveling music. Just makes you feel happy. West Virginia is about an hour south of here.

We're dating ourselves here Wolfie - I definitely remember the Morgan and the Messerschmidt. My great uncle had a Morgan +4, a 4 wheeler with a hickory frame, looked like an old MG with a Jag grill.
These guys would make me claustrophobic.

Scootaway - you know more about the origins of the National Anthem that a lot of the college students I teach. Thank You!
If you want to see some beautiful country, take a short trip west of D.C. and see the Blue Ridge and Cumberland ans Shenandoah Valleys. There are also a number of battlefields from our Civil War.

Hey - wasn't Morpheus the Greek god of sleep or dreams or something? Don't want to cast aspersions on Luke's ride here or anything like that. LOL Luke - you'd better jazz that thing up!

Pa ABATE had a bit in the September newsletter related to a new license endorsement for trikes.
The article states that effective 6/26/10, "Pennsylvania motorcyclists who pass the motorcycle skills evaluation on a 3-wheeled motorcycle will receive a Class M endorsement with a 9 restriction. This means that you will only be permitted to ride a three wheeled motorcycle".
Evidently if you have a class M without a restriction, you can ride 2 and 3 wheeled while with the 9 restriction, only 3 wheeled.
