So, officially, speeds are:
30, 50, 70, huge speed, ludicrous speed and fuck me that was quick.

Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
I concur with those speed readings. If I see my speedo read much above 70mph on the motorway I realise that this is a terrible mistake and obviously it is over-reading by some margin. Officer.
As to my own scooter:
I got as far as thinking about putting the topbox on as I am going out after work and thought I might have trouble stowing all my stuff under the seat.
But then I looked at the J300, decided that it looked really nice without box on the back and decided to leave the scoot as is.
(I also remembered that there are hooks underneath the saddle that I can use to hang the helmet off on the side of the scooter so all my stuff WILL fit in there after all)

Except for some dog will probably piss in your helmet... only joking (I hope) - best to sniff it before putting it back on just in caseStephenC wrote:I also remembered that there are hooks underneath the saddle that I can use to hang the helmet off on the side of the scooter so all my stuff WILL fit in there after all

But let me know where you park, just so I know not to hang my helmet off the scooter if I ever go there....

Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
Not convinced the joyride ever makes it past a true 70mph, so huge speed is certainly below that 
The smaller the scooter the huger the speed for any given velocity ....

Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
When washing the TMax... the plastidip I put on the round side covers wrinkled and fell off, so much for coming off when you want it to come off.
The plastidip on the wheels have taken four washes and is perfectly fine. It also stuck to the cover of the oil bath just fine but I have removed it, I felt it was a step too far.
