Club 600

Bam ..:......but there a dam problem there blocking a lot of light.snip snip time

Looks as if someone is cultivating glorious herbs in here

Going to be tearing up the roads tonight after I pick up my new hot rod at 6-pm:


2013 Honda Metropolitan





My keys




New brain bucket
(*Riddle: What do you call a motorcyclist who rides without a helmet? Answer: An organ donor.)




And a new riding jacket




Got it all for $2,487 (scooter, license & fees, and jacket & helmet).
Will be picking up the scooter from the Honda dealership shortly after 6-pm after I pick the wife up from work in the car.
Since the beast goes faster than 30mph (will do 40mph with a tailwind), I'll have to go to a riding class and earn a motorcycle riding endorsement (going to take a rider safety course through team-oregon.org) and then get a MC license, but that's not a big deal.
In fact, that opens up the door to upgrading in a year or two or three to a highway-ready motorcycle after I get my riding chops back (gotta learn to crawl before you storm the apex of the corners).

This was the last motorcycle I owned (I rode & raced from 1972 until 1995):



Will have more pics after I get the scooter home (hopefully, in one piece).
And will be making some vids after I make a camera mount for one of my keychain HDDVR camcorders, too.

Nervous, but excited (never thought I'd be excited to get a motorscooter).

sounds exciting! take us on a good ride man

Anyone with any ideas why my leaves seem to droop during lights on? I've started watering more. Thought that was the issue.

Leaves were all perked up last night when they came on, but by morning many had drooped.

Temps remain below 79, humidity in the 50s.

Get your roll on Doobie! What's the mpg on that thing? Like a million?! Hehe

If you aren't over-watering, and heat isn't an issue, then it could very well be that your plants are going into a resting phase even with the lights on.
It could also be that they are actually drinking a lot and just thirsty.
Are your plants in 12/12 flowering mode, or 18/6 for veg?

You & me got a date with Aspen, whodat!

They are in 12/12.

During Veg, they were always perky and upright, so it is weird for me to see this.

First grow, so no experience. Thanks for feedback, will keep everyone posted.

Seem to have to water every other day in smart pots

Just waiting on geico to e-mail my new insurance cards.

Paying $99 for 12-months, and upgraded it to $50k/$100k of uninsured motorists, $50k/$100k of Collision, and a $50 deductible on Comprhensive.

3 more hours!!!

Fun looking ride Doobie.

I had one of the Honda Elite CH-80's that every third college
student had in the 90's.

Riding something tiny can be really fun. You can kinda hop
them around like a skateboard, to some degree ;0)

I used to love jumping down on my scooter, just as I hit a
large speed bump at speed.

Have fun!

JD

Sounds like fun
Going to be nice to get away from the apartment in the day times without walking or waiting on the bus.
Fingers are crossed that the weather is agreeable this summer

One funny thing to watch out for is running out of gas the
first time that you ride it. My CH80, when new, got such a
ridiculously high gas mileage that by the time that I ran out
of gas I had forgotten that it freakin needed fuel. I was all
like "Huh, what! Oh shit! LOL" (when I sputtered to the side
of the road, I was thinking, at first, that I was breaking down)

This is a huge upside of a little ride. I have driven a Supreme 88
so I know what gallons per mile means. :0)

I can just see you coming back from a hydro store run, lol everything piled up high and strapped to the bike with bunjies lol.

I've got AAA, so if I forget to gas up, I have an easy out, thankfully.
And the amount they bring (for free) is almost enough to fill up the tank completely.
But yeah, I'll be keeping an eye on the gauge, just in case.

Man!
I just did a google image search for "overloaded scooter" and you won't believe what some folks are hauling with theirs!
Craziness

make sure you have something to entertain yourself for a couple of hours while you wait for AAA. Speed is not part of their vocabulary.

My mind is an amusement park.

But you must be this high to ride the rides:
\/\/\/

I hope you have a club 600 sticker to slap on the front of the bike? Or a bb one lol.
