OK so after waiting for what seemed like an eternity I finally went up on the 3rd of July and picked up my brand spanky new 500. I would have posted sooner but I was FAR too busy riding around.

You can read the boards, look at the pictures, watch the videos, ask your friends but there is nothing like riding the MP3 to make you smile so hard that after the first 50 miles you cheeks start to hurt

I would add pictures but I need to set up a flicker account or something.. think I will run do that RIGHT now..my god I love this bike 8)

OK instead here is a link to the Flicker sight, has me, my scoot, and my scoot trying to stand out (easy to do) with a bunch of Harleys and what not.

Congrats PDX! I Know the feeling!
Congrats, I just got my Sky blue Mp3 250 about 3 weeks ago and I already have 1300 miles on it lol! I love the 500 as well, and I welcome you to the world of the MP3, the world of weird stares, strangers asking questions and wanting to know the mpg, where you bought it, etc. and mostly to the world of scootering!

P.S. It maybe cavemanish, but I've found the easiest way to resize your avatar is to open it with paint, go to Image, Stretch Skiew, and keep changin the horiz/vert % until when you check under Image:Attributes:Pixels its less than 128 X 128.

Congrats! You should be more enthusiastic!

Here's an avatar until you get it. Drag it off and use it.

Tell me what pic you wanted, what pc you have etc.

p.s. never quote yourself unless you know it's true.

Glad to see other folk get excited about them too, I get fed of folks saying why do you ride that, you could have had a Harley, yes I could, I even did, I've had 5. The fuoco is fun, it puts a smile on your face, & thats priceless,
enjoy, & happy ridein.
