Hello everyone. Always wanted a scoot since the age of 16 but other things kept getting in the way somehow. Did my CBT at the end of August and got on road for first time at the age of 39 ha ha! And then in September came my birthday...well, they say life begins at 40!
Now I am trying hard to make up for lost time but getting a few, um, shall we say, "teething problems" with the scoot. Well, it is 2 years older than I am lol ;-)
Must admit to a couple of moments when I've wished I'd got a px instead...but it doesn't last long 'cos I love my little small frame. Anyway, at 5'3", I've found that I can barely manage to put my boyfriend's px on or off its stand!

Hi, welcome to the forum! Glad it wasn't just me that had problems with the stand - changing the feet (on the stand!) sorted out my female ways!

Thanks to all of you who have said "hello!"
Have now done over 1,000 miles on silver one...and now have a px 125 as well. Got it just before Christmas and have already done more than 650 miles on it! Boyfriend got it for me so I could practise using indicators lol
Any advice to guard against night-time dazzle from ultra-bright car headlights (apart from "Don't look at them!")?
Do yellow tinted goggles help at all?
Cheers all xx
