Hi all,

I'm currently doing PhD research on scooter & moped safety in
Brisbane and am planning some discussion groups with regular riders
to get their views, thoughts and experiences on safety and transport
planning issues.

I plan to hold several sessions of 2 hours each, during evenings on
weekdays, over the next month or two (until about early April). The
meetings will take place at QUT's Kelvin Grove campus and
participants will each recieve $50 cash as compensation for their
time. It should be a relaxed setting and catering will be provided.

If you are interested in joining one of the groups, please let me
know by email, or by telephone on 3138 8448. You can leave a message
if I'm out of the office. I'm looking for a cross-section of riders,
so if you could provide your vehicle model/engine size, age and
gender (if it's not already obvious), along with your contact
details that would be great. I'm looking for up to 10 riders who are
Scooteroo members.

Cheers, Ross

Larry,
I was just looking through my old receipts from when I had on my
GT200 a few years back. I tried a set of expensive Michelin tyre
which costs me about $140 each which is really expensive for a 12inch
tyre. I only got 3500km out of those tyres. Most tyres these days are
made in the same factory and different brands charge different
prices. I find these days your run of the mill no name brands to be
as good and last longer than the name brands! Go figure?

After a 24 hr the tyres are shot, getting 6500kms out of a tyre would
be great for racing. I must admit I haven't heard of many tyres
laster any longer on a GTS especially doing highway/touring work.
Maybe you could look at getting some solid rubber tyres like what
they have on a forklift. It would last for ages and never blowout.
Grip and comfort, are they really that important? :-P

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would give you a little more information about the Le Minz
this weekend. Held annually, the Le Minz has been marketed to be the
longest event of its type in the world. The event runs from 12noon
Saturday to 12noon Sunday and riders cover in excess of 1100kms over a
24hr period. This year there are 20 scooters, from scooter shops to
private teams vying for top honours in 3 catagories.

Catagory A - LA Moped class, 50cc only with speed limiter, not allowed
to travel faster than 50km/h
Catagory B - Standard Class, 50cc only with speed limiter removed, bike
is not allowed to run any aftermarket parts.
Catagory C - Modified Class, 50cc only, aftermarket performance parts
will be allowed, must run road tyres - no race slicks.

There will be 10 Scooteroo members riding or providing pitcrew support
during this event including Allen Drysdale from Scootersales.com.au who
will be riding a Red Devil in "Standard Class". He will be providing
regular updates throughout the event and also having some video
interviws with competitors. This is a free event so if you wish to come
along it will be a cheap day out. If you are unable to make down the
coast then jump onto the Scootersales website for updates.

Here is a link to info on Scootersales.com.au and the press release.

http://www.scootersales.com.au/News-2346-le-minz-2009-gold-coast.aspx

Hope to see you there.

Hey Boo Boo,
I like the idea of taking a pic-a-nic basket! (better read with a
Yogi Bear Voice) :-)I can pack a little footy, a blanket and toss in
a few sangers too. Sounds like a plan to me.

I haven't been to the Port before so I think it is great idea and
having some 50cc's along would be swell.

Le Minz is this weekend for those interested. It looks like it might
be a little wet though :(

Hi Mr B

That sounds like a lovely run.  I've never been out to the Port of
Brisbane, but I hear it is really nicely developed.

I think we should be right for this ride, but I'll check with Kimmie
and see if we want to go together.

We might do the picnic thing - that would be nice for a change.

Cheers

Hi all
Im in!    Ive ridden my Vespa 50 from Scooters Scooters in the Valley
to Wynnum North without any problems - its an easy enjoyable run.
I think this outing will be a great place to meet other scooterists
and chat - not that I will remember everyone's names - so apologies in
advance.
Port of Brisbane sounds an interesting place - havent been there since
it had its upgrade.
I will probably get something from the cafe but will bring along a
picnic blanket anyway.  I might have to dig around my son's old toy
box for a frizby.....

Question Mr Bee - what if it turns out to be raining that day? Is
there an alternative site for a meet and greet?

Cheers
Kerry

Why don't we kick off with a get-to-know-folks picnic ride within the
city, Sunday 22 February.

If you're keen we can gather at Scooters Scooters in the city, maybe
around 10am, and head for the bay, the Port of Brisbane in particular.

There's a good visitors' centre set in a park with zillions of
waterbirds, space to throw a frisbee or smack a ball around, or just
sit in some shade and enjoy a chat or three.

The ride is in the calendar as Wellington Point but the Port is easier
if you have a 50cc scooter. BYO picnic, or buy whatever you fancy from
the cafe.

What do people think? Interested? Please post here so we can get some
idea of possible numbers.

Cheers,

Mr Bee

hey Kelvmick , good to see you joined , cheers

Relax guys...no drama. As long as I was at the right place. I didn't
do the ride, I just went home in a sulk (No I was cool)
I'll come on the next one.

Hi Brooke, I have a 26L Micro2 Givi top box if you're interested.  Box
and mounting plate only.

Leroy:

Sorry you were on your lonesome yesterday....this was an exception, not
the rule. The Mountain Run is fun, friendly, and usually has a good
turn-out. Joey's conversation isn't much to hold your breathe for, but
Benny usually buys big breakfasts for us all so that's worth coming for
:-)

See ya on another ride sometime...

Hey Everyone,

Leroy,
Sorry to hear that no one turned up for the ride but don't be
disheartened as we will be back for the long ride in 2 weeks time.

This weekend is the 24hr Le Minz at the Gold Coast. I haven't set any
plans for people to come down but if you interested in coming along
and having a look then post you intention and you might be able to
get a little group together for a ride down.

Hi Leroy

Welcome to Scooteroo :/

You weren't mistaken - today was the day that the affectionately named
"Mountain Run" was scheduled.

Usually we get a minimum of 5 scoots turn up for this run (that is the
least number I have seen in my 2+ years with the group).  To have no
one turn up at all is simply unbelieveable!!

I was keen to go, but have had a mongrel summer cold all weekend.  I
needed the sleep more than I needed the 6.30am wake-up call. :)

Don't be discouraged - keep an eye out for the 'long ride' activities
the club run as well.  If you like, you can always post up your
intention to ride before you go on the forum.  Although not necessary,
it will give other scooterists a heads-up that it won't be 'just
them'.

Again, sorry we let you down - especially on your first ride.  Geez
guys: what's going on???

Cheers

Jared

I was gassbagging with the guys at Scootopia the other Saturday and
they suggested I come on the Breakky run this morning, so I thought
I'd give the PX an airing. Went up to the Mobil on Waterworks Road,
spoke with a motor cycle rider who assured me that's where the
scooters meet, even asked the guy in the servo...but either I was at
the wrong place or no one showed. I was there 0710, and left about
0750. Mobil on corner of Settlement and Waterworks. Was I at the right

And I'm trying to claw my own eyes out at the thought of actually
visualising this...

Mr Bee

I may be back in time for this Sundays Glorious run, but maybe not ?????

I reckon i could give Casey Stoner a run for his money now that I have completed
the Advanced Cornering and Road Kill Avoidance rider training course, (doing a
lap of Tassie)
I am lucky I won a set of Michelin tyres at the NSR as I will need them  when I
get back , if not before. I think I need ones with thicker side tread if I come
to Tassie again, as most of the time your at a 45' or more lean for the
hairpins.
Glorious has nothing on the roads in Tassie, Friggin' AWESOME , did I mention
how AWESOME the riding is there, well its Friggin' AWESOME. You know you want to
go and ride there dont you........
Well I am in Melbourne at my brother in laws for 2 days, while I recover from
the awesomeness of tassie and will do a little shopping.
Bike is running OK for the moment but is now in need of its next 5000k service
and I still have 2000k to do to get home, hope the tyres last...
  Will upload pics when I get back and do a more indepth travel blog with details
as did do some notes...
Gotta go check to see if my washing is done so I dont smell like a smelly
scooterist covered in bug splatter anymore ( I'm typing this in a pair of boxers
and a smile :-)

Cya in a few days after a pleasurably slow ride up the coast back to Brisvages.

BFG (Bald Fat Guy) on a scooter
