Ouch.
Glad you're OK though. You'll need a long soak in the bath tonight.

They handle fine except when the front wheel hits a bit of pea gravel on a raised brick weave junction :o !
Then the front lets go !!
Just got the seat re-covered, my friend the owner is away so no panic on timing and He is not worried by the scratches as he expects to add more himself !

Burgman in fact all the Maxi scooters are rather too long for my taste makes them slow to turn and a man nice on the traffic calming London is plagued with

I have ridden the new Honda bike based scooter the NC700SD ?? shorter no cvv transmission but a 2 shaft bike box with twin clutch system like a pit bike but the box and change clutch controlled by the computer ! You get Drive Sport and Manual with up and down buttons
Much shorter than most and 17" wheels and bike tyres / brakes etc but as yet expensive !
