Hello MV Community,

I was so happy to discover you via a Google search for rides and clubs in the Hudson Valley.

I'm enjoying the various posts and conversations. I have a recently acquired 2009 red LX50, and am loving life!

A bit about me: I'm a fair-weather rider, living in Columbia County near Harlemville/Hawthorn Valley, and I have a Chihuahua named Cassius Clay who rides with me. Given my bike is a 50cc, I'm a slowpoke mellow rider, and couldn't be happier.

Looking forward to riding with some folks when the weather permits.

RvL

Are they custom goggles?

Welcome from Vermont!

Even thou it is only 50cc most people will recommend that you take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation class which will provide lots of information and skills to ride safely. A bonus is you get your motorcycle endorsement so you can move up to a larger scooter to explore more on!

Fire-Breather
Greetings:

Welcome from Texas. Malossi 78cc cylinder, variator, secondary grears and maybe a pipe will transform that 39MPH Highway Cone into a 60MPH Fire-Breather that gives a lot of 150s a good run for the money!. Or you can just enjoy whatcha got.

Welcome to MV. I just rode about 50 miles south of you to Beacon this past Sunday. I am sure in the spring/summer of 2021 I shall come up your way. I will be going to Pittsfield MA to visit some friends then. Shall make sure to connect & meet Cassius Clay.
I am sure you will enjoy your rides in the picturesque Hudson valley you live in.

I'm in Hyde Park, south of you. I did a pair of rides out of Kingston and Saugerties a couple of weeks ago. They went through Windham and Hunter. Excellent scenery and roads.

Love your riding buddy Cassiuss! Welcome to MV from gopam & chihuahua Gizmo Bikerdog in Los Angeles!

I haven't hooked up a pet pillion setup yet on the vespa because I use the top case so often. But here's a photo of us on a motorcycle.

Enjoy the ride and welcome!!
