Hello from Ohio! Scooter noob
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 11:10 am
Just thought I'd say hello to everyone on the forum! My name is Sara & I'm totally new to the world of scootering. I just got a pretty good deal on a new red 2010 SH150i from a local dealer. I had a hard time choosing between the SH150i and a new Vespa, but my faith in Honda's reliability and the SH's larger tires(NE Ohio has hella big pot holes) were 2 of the main deciding factors. I will be getting my temps tomorrow & begin practicing on our 2 dead end streets. It really seems like a great place to learn to ride since there is very little traffic and a nice turn around at the end of each street. I haven't signed up for a rider's safety course YET but plan on doing so. Eventually, I'd like to be able to ride my scooter to University & to work in the warmer months. The local/country roads I'll be riding on have speed limits between 25-55 mph. I'm hoping that the SH150i will not only be fun, but also reliable, and more environmentally friendly/fuel efficient than my Honda CRV.
