Found this board thru a gentleman (Vince) at my dealer (Reina).

Had been looking thru posts for a few days.

Nice board you have here, kind of fun to watch the discovery process of problems and resolutions. Much like other boards that are machine specific.

Good to see other enthusiasts looking for answers and sharing solutions.

The MP3 is my wifes (Diane). It is everything she has ever wanted. She is an experienced motorcyclist and truly prefers the MP3 over any of the 8 other motorcycles in the garage.

I call her Scooter Girl and boy does she scoot. This Sunday we met with 30 of our friends for lunch in Wisconsin Dells. For us it was a 265 mile round trip. She handled it just fine. The same miles in a day on one of the motorcycles would have done her in.

I plan on doing an in-state SS1000 on her MP3 to get an IBA plate for her scooter.

Welcome to the site. I've been waiting for you to join up since our last conversation at the Dealer.

It is a small world. Not only did we realize that we picked up our MP3's on the same day but I notice that you are from Muskego. I taught there for 26 years, retiring in June of 2006. I'll send a private message to you to see if we already know each other.

Wow! an IBA license holder on an MP3. Let me know when she gets it and take a picture. Congratulations on her purchase.

Like your wife, my wife (Louise) used to ride a Harley Sportster. She was an excellent rider but hated her bike. Louise hated it so much that she gave up riding altogether. However, when she saw my MP3 and rode it one time, she had to have her own. Louise, now, has her own new, shiny, black MP3 and enjoys riding the wheels off of it.

I don't know if I could do a SS1000, but I did a 300 mile day. Though I was saddle sore, my knees and back didn't hurt, unlike my 300 mile days on my K12LT, where everything including my butt was sore.
