Hi there,

I am yet another newbie (24 yr old, female) and I have just bought a
pink MIO 100. I was just wondering where I could get waterproof jackets
and pants (or maybe even a one piece?) in Brisbane. I've read some very
informative posts about all these brands like Dri Rider, Corazzo and
Draggin (I have no idea) and I was wondering if anyone could recommend
some good stores that I could go to and have a good try-on of all these
brands. Basically I need something to shield me from the rain and also
looks good. I'd really appreciate any help I can get, thanks!! :)

Hey there,

Jess and I are in sunny Kununurra in W.A. We have seen plenty of scooters even
in these
smaller remote towns. The top end of Australia is the place for winter riding.
Nightly
temps are around 22-23 degrees and the humidity is low. The night time doesn't
lead to
much wearing of safety gear, day time riding well...... no chance! If the
sunburn doesn't
get you the crocs will!

I am missing my little scoot and can't wait to get back for a ride. We will be
on the next
ride up the mountain for breaky in the next few weeks.

Yeah, when the meals actually came out they were of pretty poor quality.

Apparently that place has become more and more inconsistent.  Next
time, we should all go to the surf club.  It looked deserted when we
were eyeing it off, but the food quality is great according to Kim.

At least we know for next time.  The ride was great fun though.  It's
great to be able to test the Fabbri Mid-Sized screen at highway
speeds.

Don't know about you all, but we encountered some pretty intense cross-
winds on the way back to Brisbane.  I had to battle just to keep the
MP3 in the lane in some places.

Hi all,

What a cracker day yesterday for a ride and lunch to Bribie Island, the
much warmer weather made for a very relaxing ride! Thanks to all who
turned up! The old heart is still recovering for eating the inch thick
batter on the fish though!
Look forward to the next ride!If I haven't had a coronary that is!

Cheers
Joe

Hi All,
Just in case it has been missed! Ben is away on leave!
Meet at 10:00am Sunday at Scooters Scooters in the Valley,departure
time will be 10:15am Sharp. Should be nice and warm!
We will ride up the freeway and meet up with some other scooter groups
just off the freeway at the Holden Dealership on the Bribie Island exit!
Look forward to the ride and lunch!
Regards
Joe

Hi there, the time has come to actually type a quick message on your
page... I have arrived back from overseas in March 2008, and treated
myself to a brand new Vespa Scooter.  Now I am finding that my
addiction to explore on my vespa is getting broader and broader... This
is where I am hoping that your club will play a role !  I am a shift
worker, but am hoping to join your ride to Mount Glorious in September
and hopefully (depending on shifts) perhaps join your dinner get
together... I hope that riding in a pack will way lay my fears of
riding my little groovy machine on the highway ... I am starting to get
some longer rides under my belt so hopefully, I won't keep you waiting !
Hope to see you soon !  Jools

Did you have a few "technical difficulties" on the ride, Woofski?

Tried to get out of bed in time for a coffee but decided that lunch at
Dayborough would be good instead.
Glad I caught up with the swarm when I did, else I would have had a
lonley time at Dayborough.

Hey Rob,

I found out that my clutch was stuffed yesterday morning and we
pulled it out and I had to fit another set of clutch plates. I did
four runs, two good runs at the start and then the two that you saw
were my last two. The clutch was dragging big time and when I pulled
up to the staging lights I couldn't get it out of gear so I had to
stall the bike and pulled it out of gear then kick started the bike
again. Once I was in stage I would rev the engine up and wait till
the lights were about to change then I would pop it into 1st then
take off. I figured that it was the end of my new clutch so it didn't
worry me too much. My best reaction time was 0.552sec which wasn't
that bad even with a lot of mucking around.

I had a look at the clutch adjustment this morning and yeah, I need
another clutch. I am looking at performance clutch plates now as the
standard ones wear out every 6 months with the power of the little
beastie even with general road riding!

You know what though, I wouldn't change my scooter for anything :)

Oh, maybe a PX300 though :P

I think I speak for everyone who attended last night when I say....
Yee Haa!!!

That was some good fun. My best time was a 17.97 sec 1/4 mile pass @
111.74km/h. Not bad really, I managed a quicker time some some cars
like a Holden Astra SRi 2.2L. I had to rebuild the clutch on my PX
yesterday and I think it needs another new one again but you get
that.

There was some smug looks from some of the people (bogans) around but
it really didn't matter as we all had a hoot. Jess took some video
footage and it will be on youtube shortly so make sure you have a
look.

Thanks to Dan Brown for getting everyone along for a run.

Hoowee!!! What a Blast!!!!
Talk about Fun.... But next time (and I'm sure there will be....) I
might see about trying to crack that 20 second barrier. The Agility
was launching well but wasn't letting it get to the higher "gear"
until just crossing the final timing beam and down the other side.
Let the Agility do a little smoking in the last couple runs, nothing
fantastic or drastic but she just sat there and spun.

Thanks again to Dan bringing up the idea in the first place.
One little tip, leave a stand on your scoot if you can. As the night
went on, more and more bikes came out and it took a little longer each
time to get a run.
Awesome... Thanks again!!!
