Tried to see if I could catch air off speed-bumps, as this was a simple matter on my old '74 150 Super with its under-damped suspension and massive unsprung weight in the rear swingarm/drivetrain. The results weren't spectacular -- 35 years of progress in suspension technolgy saw to that, but what I did after about the fourth attempt was:
I stomped on the brake pedal.
(Of course, there wasn't one there.)
It's been 22 years since I've owned a scooter with a floor-mounted brake pedal! (and three since I've been on a motorcyle with one). The 150S felt so much like my '74, that the reflexes came back after all those years. I laughed at myself for a few minutes, but the grin lasted quite a while longer.
