They didn't specify on what type of scoot. Just that we had to supply our own. I know with the motorcycle course they provided 4 different types of bikes to ride on, so I would suspect that different type of scoots would be okay. After all how are they going to be able to anticpate different situati...

Scooter Defensive Driving

I finally completed my motorcycle course at Alberta Saftey Council and passed, so like Audrey, I'm legal now. :D While taking the course, I think I drove the instructors a bit mad with my questions on how some of the safety things they were showing me applied to a scoot that didn't have a foot brake...

Hey Valerie, Welcome to the forum. I just recently bought a scooter and before I bought it was pretty much like you, not knowing what to get or what would work well for me. Although I didn't run into the height challenge. I was however very lucky to get in contact with a scotter dealer who was able ...

Is there a meeting this Sunday? I'll be in Edmonton this weekend to admire my scoot from afar. (Still waiting for the part so it can pass its OPI. :cry: )

It looks like I will have to reschedule the minor repair to my scoot until next week. The last I heard was that the part has not arrived at Vespa Kelowna and Ron was unsure of a delivery date. I'm hoping the part arrives in St. Paul or Edmonton next week so that I can get the repair done quickly. Th...

Whew! We made it back to Edmonton without a hitch. My scoot is now resting comfortably at her new home in Sherwood Park. Thanks for all the offers to fix the bike. I really appreciate it! I got to ride is for a few seconds today. :D (When I say ride, I rode it up the driveway into the garage and par...

The bike will be stored in Sherwood Park and unfortuneately, the super transportation for my bike I got this weekend will not be available next weekend. The bike however, is being s...

Sadness in Calgary

So, I took my scoot in for it's OPI while I was in Calgary and guess what ... it failed. :cry: The shock seal faild and there was no dampening. A quick call to Ron at Vespa Kelowna and it looks like the problem will be solved shortly. He is going to look into getting the part for me so that it can b...

I'm currently sitting in Torrie's living room desperately seeking out someone to do my OPI while I'm in Calgary instead of waiting until I get to Edmonton. (Can you tell I'm anxious to get plates on my scoot so I can ride when I'm in Edmonton for May long weekend. :P ) I can hardly believe that I ha...

My new baby will be living in Edmonton. I usually spend my summers in Edmonton and storing it in Edmonton would save me from traliering it back and forth. Also, there have been too many thefts of snowmobiles this winter in St. Paul, that it wouldn't take much for a few guys to lift my bike into the ...

It's a the Boulevard 150. Had I known that she was going to sell her Vespa, I probablly would have bought it, but I had already purchased the Boulevard when she decided to sell. :cry: No problems Bruce. I can relate to how busy things can be in the middle of a move. This way works out a little bette...
