MPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75 MILES A GALLON ..............HOW ABOUT YOU?????????????????

My First Scooter

My name is Paul Swifka.....and I ride a scooter....

With the gas rate skyrocketing.....My wife and I decided to buy a scooter for myself to ride around town on...considering one day we filled up both of our vehicles and it cost somewhere around $150 for both vehicles.....that will last around 2 weeks.....the scooter I bought gets around 75 miles to the gallon...can't beat that......I did a lot of research on scooter and was considering at first a 50's Vespa or so.....I found some nice ones but realized that there is no dealer here in chico..no one to work on the old ones and parts would be a problem....I thought about a new one.....but...the cost around $5,000 and again no dealer in town.... I looked at the Honda's like my friend Tims ....nice...small and they only come in 50cc engines.....which for me would only go about 30-35mph....I needed one that went aournd 45mpg so I could go on the main roads of chico like Mangrove..Park Ave, and the Esplanade.......Walla!!!!! what I found was a Yamaha dealer 3 blocks from my house who carrying the Yamaha Vino 125....perfect for what I needed....a 125cc engine.....able to carry two.......new.....dealer in town...and able to go a top speed of 60..but with me on it....around 45 -50mpg.....perfect....plus the payment ......$39....lower than a tank of gas.....can't beat that...behold my first scooter...The 2007 Yamaha Vino 125...... I am now part of an elite group of Scooter Riders that hit the open road..... please feel free to comment and give me tips about accessories.....cool places to ride ect.
