I haven't heard back from him yet. Until I do, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis for those vehicles that are not plainly scooters. About what vehicle do you have a question?
Ira
The scooter rides include the following from this list
Scooter 1000 (SS1K rules)
Scooter 1000 Gold (<300cc)
Scooter 1500 BB1500 rules
Scooter 1500 Insanity (BBG rules and <300cc)
The BB Silver, 1500 in 30 hours is not specifically listed under the scooter listings, much less <300cc version. Do it and maybe they will call it a 'Scooter 1500 Silver Insanity' or you could think up a name you like and ask for it as a new ride listing.
Depends on the 150. My Honda ADV, yep, no way to do a BBG. My former Buddy 150 would hold 70 mph though, so the right route, a good plan, extra fuel, maybe, but boy would it be tight. However, you just said <300 at first, and there are Vespa/Piaggio 300s that are actually 280cc that could easily do a BBG. Plus some of the newer EFI 250s out there.I was asking first. A BBG is math and mechanically impossible on a 150.
Heidenaus and studs! A Frozen SS1K. You could be the first.Got my hands on a Piaggio 150cc today. This will be a fun challenge to do next seasonway to cold and to much snow atm.
Top speed is around 70 so need to plan my route very carefully I guess

My Honda 150 runs heated jacket liner and grips just fine. -20C is pretty chilly though.We have -20°C over here. I will freeze my n*ts off before first 100miles and, if lucky, maybe find them again sometime around summer 2024
welcome!
The small bore cert has a really cool graphic on it. @EricV might show his.
Let's just say that such a request when you submit the ride would not be dismissed out of hand.Soooo... My better half have approved the Frozen SS1K/Scooter 1000 Gold attempt and my little 150cc is home at last. Looking at previous years it might be doable around middle of january. Cold as **** but less risk of getting caught in a snowstorm.
@Ira: Would a successful ride qualify towards Not Right Rider or do I need even 'crazier' rides for that?
