I am happy riding alone, when I do ride with somebody else I get tired of slowing down and waiting so they could keep up with me, they can't match my riding skills, i speed up on a tight curve where they slow down and use their brakes, they are afraid to pass a car cause they have no confidence in the aceeleration and speed their bike has, or they are afraid to use it..
tell me? have you ever got stuck behind a bike going below the speed limit knowing that bike he's riding is far more capable of much faster speeds?
the opppisite happens to me, crotch rockets get behind me while I am ridng my scooter and they all think my scooter has a top speed of 35 mph, but they are surprized when they can't keep up with me rounding the tight curve up ahead, I just use my left hand and wave "bye-bye" to them before i twist the throttle and watch them dissapear in my mirror,,, then a few miles up the road where the road is straight and level they catch up to me passing me,,,,,,, when I see them pull over up ahead, I stop and talk to them, they think they are something cause their racing bike passed up a scooter, but I do remind them they couldn't match me or keep up with me around the tight curves, and I always tell them "NICE BIKE, TOO BAD YOU CAN'T RIDE IT"

Of course you see them in your mirror, I'd ride the other way too...

OK,,, lets talk about oil,,,,
gather around and make fun of me cause I can take it cause I am going to tell everybody

I USE "AMSOIL" !!!!

AGGGHHH! that feels better! I had this secret bottled up for a long time afraid to tell everybody I use Amsoil

yea, I know, Amsoil will ruin my engine, it costs too much, it causes the roller shaft bearings to spin on the OD inside the case,,, yes I heard it all!
yea,, I know and made the mistake in the past by walking into a motorcycle dealer and asking if he sold Amsoil and getting thrown out, I won't do that again, I have to buy my Amsoil after dark in a secret parking lot from a guy selling it out of his van,,,,,,yes, I know I have to hide the full and empty bottles of Amsoil in my garage cause friends might be over and get insulted even if they see a bottle of Amsoil out in full view. The dealer gave me an Amsoil tee shirt and I had to burn it out of fear riots would break out if anybody seen me wearing it.

feels good getting that secret out,,,,,,, you guys may start your insults

I wouldn't use Amsoil in a bike with a wet clutch, even though they say it's okay. Since you don't know how to use a clutch, it should be okay in your scooter...

Don't go getting all excited. It took me a while getting use to having one.
