Three Hundred Miles

kz1000st · 07-07-2016, 12:25 PM

A little update on the scooter front. I had the occasion to do the trip to Danbury and back once more. That makes three runs of three hundred miles each with no issues. Last night I had to go to Middletown, NY and back which is about one hundred and eighty miles round trip. Again the scooter rang in at 78 mpg and didn't stress my aging body. Filling up every 150 miles or so is costing me a little over $5.00 with mid grade fuel. I'm closing in on 15,000 miles and the China scoot is running like a house fan. Hummmmmmmm.

I'm on trip number four right now and I took some pics. A staffer at the Harley place came out to see the scooter up close. "I've never seen anything like this before!" We had a great conversation and he was surprised I had just over 15,000 miles.

Great thread. Keep the pics coming, KZ.

A couple of weeks ago I did trip number 5. The scooter handled it just fine but only gave 75 mpg. I think as the belt stretches the revs go up and mileage drops off. It might be getting close to a required valve adjustment again too. Even still, the scooter is comfortable, steady and the Helix style seating is more like sitting in a convertible sports car than a bike. I did a 300 mile trip on the old Kawasaki last week and while we both came through, it wasn't as comfortable.
