1. Which led to the 'both lights on' mod.

hey ub, #2 wasn't obvious to me either. i was surprised when i could open the glove box while the scoot was running. that's what's great about being new. things aren't obvious and learning and realizing things are fun. kinda like a first kiss Razz emoticon

i hope i never "know it all".

I discovered the glove box lid dodge a while back. Of course the one greta advantage of this si that when open and riding you can use the lid as a nice little picnic table for your sandwiches, saving valuable time in not having to stop to eat your "butties"

One word of warning though DO NOT EAT SANDWICHES WHEN WEARING A FULL FACE HELMET I made that mistake once and got cheese and pickle all over the visor.

That's my tip of the day folks!!!!

You know, I tried something similar myself! But I found that wearing gloves really made it difficult to properly maneuver the sandwich. I'd recommend against wearing them if you plan on eating on the ride. I also found that when I was going slower potholes were bouncing my meal around a lot... things went much more smoothly when I was driving fast enough to skip over the holes a bit. So I'd also recommend that those interested drive as fast as possible for maximum eating comfort.

Don't Do Ironing Naked Either! Not me, but a friend has the rather personal scars left to prove this point...

Oooooh my eys are watering even now

As for eating on a bumpy road I found that that was a great way of shring your meal with your passenger providing of course you can keep the scooter stable whilst they are jumping aorund on the rear trying to get mothfuls of discarded food, and watching them trying to drink was a great laugh!!

helmet hook under the seat. for those who dont know what its for. you put the D ring of your helmet on it and then your helmet is secure to the bike. you can even get 2 helmets on there.

12 pack of canned beverages fits nicely under the seat.

drinks fit in the glovebox.

My glovebox tends to open itself while I'm riding ever since I temporarily removed the panel to replace the chrome trim
