Well everything worked out to my liking this past weekend. I was able to blend some business meetings with a trip to Vegas. Arriving late Friday nite. I hooked up with my fellow Canuks On Saturday and Sunday. Although I didn't have my own scooter, I was lucky enough to enjoy a late night ride up and down the strip Saturday night. Noel from Calgary was generous enough to lend me his PX.

Bruce, Nick (from Calgary) and I, cruised around for almost 3 hrs. Throw in stops to Visit the hotel called Paris and ride the 1/2 scale Eiffel tower to the top with some shopping thrown in, it was a great night. The weather was fantastic, and only started feeling chilly at around 1 am. After dropping off Noels scooter, Bruce gave me a ride back to my pad and we discovered that riding 2 up on Bruces PX leaves about 1/2" of suspension travel, but it still hits 52 mph! :D

I have some pictures that I will post at a later time.

Cheers
Angelo

Let me clarify that last statement. I said " I won't ride a twist and go without some practice time first as it's not something that I'm used too". Regardless many offered and I'm thankfully to all, even to you Bruce fr testing the weigh capacity of your PX on the ride back to my hotel.

Cheers
