Interesting.....

The techs in the service department where I purchased my 50cc scooter suggested 80cc as the best option.

The only PDI they did on mine was maybe to see if the lights worked and the engine turned over somehow. Otherwise it was DOA. There was no gas smell at all in the tank. The engine had been started but probably at the engine factory.

As far as websites and locations go I usually look in the 'contact us' info etc for a location. When I bought my scoot from the CA distributor I Googled their locations and did a street view to check them out.

Shipping and 'handling' fees vary so I just factor them into the price. Taxes also vary. It also costs $$$ to get in your car and visit a store or stores and bring an item home. Very few people think of that when making price comparisons. Warranty and return issues are always a consideration.

I am not riding today. We got some snow flakes etc. It is 30°F here at the moment, supposed to hit 34 but I doubt it will make it.

That 100° at midnight weather is horrible with the humidity also. The wind makes it feel like living in a blast furnace. Most summers we get a stretch of that ~100° heat even at night in KC. Utility bills for cooling are outrageous. Then we get hit with high heating bills in the winter partially due to the wind. The wind just sucks heat right out of me. I hate living in this area but I am stuck here.

300cc!!! That will be way to fast for you at 70. Send it to me. I will only be 68 and still able to ride it. LOL

Well that theory goes out the window since you bought it new and the cap is a locking matched unit.

It is still a fire hazard and even an explosion hazard under the right conditions.

I still prefer the cold over humidity and heat. I don't like the ice and snow. We get both shi**y cold and unbearable heat here in KC. It is interesting to note that most children love the ice and snow but when they start driving their attitude changes dramatically.

When my daughter moved to Santa Monica CA her landlord proudly demonstrated the heater operation for those few nights it fell below 40°F. We just smiled and laughed. She was moving from a place where some days it did not get above -40°F during the day and icicles formed in the bedroom. She never used that heater.
