Scooter Accessories?




What are some accessories that I can put on my A3 Razor kick scooter. There are somethings I saw that you put on the bottom of the scooter to (I guess) grind easier.

Also, how much does a ramp cost and is it easy to build one?




How much would insurance cost?




Im 16, and getting a 49 – 50 cc moped, i wanted to know how much the insurance would cost? it would be kept at a secure garage. Just give me a rough idea please, just an estimate?




Can I use a car battery on a pocket or mini bike ?

HONDA or PIAGGIO scooter nerds!!!!!!!!!?




Which is more reliable for a 125cc and which has the best pulling power???

I’m asking as I currantly have a 100cc Piaggio Fly and wanna upgrade. I can only go upto a 125cc as I haven’t gotten my full licence yet. I’m torn between having another Piaggio or a Honda (as my friend reckons Honda’s are better)….

Opinions please!!

How can I stop being embarassed by my obese mom?




I live with my mom and she’s very obese. She uses an electric wheelchair because she has problems walking and almost everything she eats is fast food. Every time I go some where with her people stare at her and sometimes even laugh. What do I do? I tried convincing her to lose weight but she wont. Help me




trading my car in for cash?




This is another question that deals with my Suzuki Aerio 2003. I was going to ask if anyone knows if there is a way that I can just trade my car into a car sales place for just cash not a new car or anything. If you know of any places that will do that it would be appreciated. Or any advice would be nice. Thanks.







The H-D Sportster 1200 is the obvious answer. It has classic styling, alot of displacement, for a fat tourque curve, and can be made real nice with a few choice custom/screaming eagle bits. But it would be a more expensive option, and dont some consider the Sporty a chick/noob bike?

The Hyosung GV650 Avitar sorta looks like a Harley (Vrod) and has a more powerful twin. Plus look at the prices! You can get a nearly new one for 3500! But then again its a Hyosung…

Sticking with H’s the final gen Honda Magna has a gem of a sportbike motor, and great handlig (for a cruiser) due to its light(for a cruiser) weight. They look good to me and have alot of accesories. Ive heard bad things about the brakes though, and they are a bit small.

The last option that comes to mind is the Kawasaki Eliminator 600. They are rare and have the most power with their Ninja derived inline four. But isnt combining cruiser/shaft drive with a tourqueless super sport motor kinda the worst of both worlds?

Any options I left out?
Three answers three opinions!

@SSB: Ive actually read that comparo its agreat article.

@ Freak Show: Im not actually gonna buy any of these soon, its just a hypothetical question for discussion (arguments) sake.
randy, youd have the little Vulcan over the Eliminator? Please explain. Also elaborate on the Eliminator experiance all together please. Ive never talked to an owner of a newer 600cc one before.
thanks for a bunch of good answers guys. I did forget one that noone mentioned, the Triumph Bonnie
