I should mention that for those of you not into motorcycles so much
there is also a track school for cars at MMP.  I don't know the exact
details, but some of the school's Mustangs definitely sounded very
"aftermarket" and ran slicks.  :)

I gave my 21 yr old Muffy Mazda a new frock over the last few
weeks...I hope bikers don't beat her up when she takes herself out for
a cocktail (she's old enough now.)

Did you lay down fresh white paint, too, or just the paisley?

I would not recommend it for a bank robbery getaway vehicle.  Heh.

I did 3 coats of Rustoleum Heavy Duty spray paint in white first--the
undercoat was showing again where the road gravel in winter hits....

My new ride...

{Wheels.18.472}: Jil {rabbit} Sun, 03 Jul 2011 10:44:27 CDT (1 line)

That's sweet. What brand is it?

2008 Kymco Grand Vista. I've been thinking about getting a two-wheeler
for commuting to ease the pain at the pumps. Decided on getting a
scooter due to the fact storage space and a fairing come with the
package. Was sort of waiting for the 200i Downtown (Kymco) to come out
when this one turned up on Craigslist. It's a 250, less than 2000
miles on it, and I paid 2400$ US. Now I'm setting my sites on 70 MPG.

(Sidebar: Last thing I operated for a bike was my GS 1100 Suzuki nigh
on 30 years ago. Initially the scoot felt like it had all the
wheelbase of a roller skate!!!)

Also, the Grand Vista has a MUCH more amusing name in its country of
origin. Reflected in its' owners manual.

Which is?

{Wheels.18.476}: Doug White {dwhite} Sun, 03 Jul 2011 13:06:44 CDT (1 line)

The "250 Kympotent?"  Ba dum bum.  :)

And needless to say, the guys at work are having no end of fun
concerning this...

{Photography.111} is named "Outstanding automotives" and has a lot of
pictures of old and some new cars, if you're interested in having a
look.
