My windshield is too curved to mount it there. I have mine on the steering column. I used one of the sticky disks from Radio Shack and then the suction cup from the GPS. It's really hard to see in daylight though.

True genius there! It looks like you've got great, fun roads even if you don't have the hills and twisties.

Great video! I'm curious - where do you have the camcorder mounted? Looks like you have some nice roads but you could use some more twisties and some hills.
Thanks for sharing!

we need to be nice to Luke. Granted, he does ride that Morph but he is kind to old ladies so there's some hope for him. LOL guys!

Sorry Luke - my stiff old knees won't permit that. Riding habits - aren't they what ladies wear when they ride horses English style? The again, maybe that's what biker nuns wear? LOL!

Andrew - I note the "beautiful lady". Be careful. We hate to lose members especially to jealous wives and/or boyfriends! Note the last lady who asked about mine was about 75 y.o.

I have the same conceptual problem. I use my under seat storage a lot.

It seems like every time I ride to Wally World, someone asks about the scoot. Yesterday, I came out and was about to put my helmet on. A guy was walking to his car, turns and walks over to me. He says "Do you like it?". I told him I love it. He said he was thinking about getting one and where did I get mine. I talked scoots to him for about 10 minutes.
Last week, a guy in the car beside me asked how the smaller tires handled potholes and bumps.
A lot of the time, people ask about gas mileage.
So, who gets asked and what do people ask you?

My Dad used to say - "Any idiot can make do with the right thing. It takes a true genius to improvise and make it work". I guess we're all Einsteins now.

Kiwi - that was great! You have such a beautiful country. You have some more snow but it reminds me a lot of the mountains and desert outside Las Vegas, Nevada where my daughter lives.
Luke - we have spotted cows and ice cream here in Westsylvania too - home grown! Of course ours have shorter legs on 1 side from standing on the hillsides.

I don't have an interstate close by but I do have US 219 & PA 56. Both are 4 lane, divided with 55mph and 65mph zones. I've run some of stretches (10 mile?) at up to about 72mph - windshield starts vibrating. There are stretches I avoid because of 2 high bridges (300+ ft high) over steep gorges that act like wind tunnels. I hate strong cross winds! I usually only run them on weekends when the semi and coal truck traffic isn't so bad. There are plenty of other back roads that are more fun so I typically use them.
None of this currently matters because they're ( 4 lanes) all construction zones now and single lane, 40 mpg.

Getting another seat is a good idea. You can actually do the cutdown yourself. Somewhere (on here, Scootdawg? ) the process is discussed. They really aren't all that expensive. Kiwi's got a good point about boots too. They are a safety issue.

I'm impressed Todd. Walmart - you found them there? Not at mine that's for sure. Wow - they even match my jacket! Enjoy that long ride and be safe!
