Well I got my baby today finally! I went to the cemetary to practice haven't ridden a scooter in forever. I kept looking for the rear brake with my foot at first after a short time I got used to it. I guees I was there for awhile when a old guy pulls up in his car and says" Hey lady I see your having fun and all but do you think you can wrap this up I have to close up" Too funny, so I rode more and picked up milk on the way home and put it in my case. I wonder how silly I looked with the big grin on my face! Will try to post some pictures hopefully I can figure it out

Welcome and congratulations!

Cemetary to practice...sounds too familiar...I did the same...layout was really good to take gradual turns and there was sort of a "round about" with a tree planted in the middle. I used a point ~ 6' above (from the base of tree) as a focal point...looking up and keeping my head turned as I practiced left and right full circle and U turns.

I also noticed you're having a lot of fun...so is my wife...takes her scoot to the library to study, down to the market to pick up some groceries down to the bank, etc. ... Oh yeah...will also go down to bakery to pick me up a desert! Seems like she finds a reason to jump on the scoot to run an errand...
