Ouch! Very sorry to hear it. Target lock is a real issue. I have had at least one close call as a result of it. I wonder if there are any riding seminars or online resources that might address it? Does anyone know of anything?

There's no rain, snow, or hail, the wind is not too bad, and it's above freezing. What more could Edmonton scooterists ask for in October? I'll be at Wild Earth 99 St at 10:30. Let's decide how much more to ride once we have had some coffee, lied about our prowess, covered up our failures and bragge...

Or would post-lunch be better, to wait for the full heat of the day to develop?

I was just going ask the same question. I do. How about coffee at 10:30 at Wild Earth on 99 St?

Heather feels the same way. She was happy to ride her own bike back in the early 90s, before kids, but dislikes being a passenger, probably for the same reason.

There's probably not a scoot out there better suited to Janet, in fact. The Jazz is so light that the little engine is fine for its weight. JC or I on a Jazz would be a different story. I wonder if you could rig a foot pedal for the rear brake? That could help. But the enthusiasm is what matters! Do...

Happy riding!

You might also consider the Yamaha BW50/Zuma, which is also 2-stroke like the Vespa. We had three of them (the last one a 70cc wildebeest) and they all performed flawlessly for my kids and me.

Tempted as I am, I think I shall pass and allow some other fortunate soul to invest that much money in this nearly new classic... since "perfect condition" and "good looking" have little to do with each other in this case!

Yup, same general area, but Time Machine has moved (now across from Wagner High School), and Pug City Euro Works has moved into their old space.

Ah, the old deck shuffle. I took over a ton of old deck to the dump on Salt Spring this April. What fun!

Hope you have your workspace back soon!
