Due to weather and personal circumstances I have been unable to get the scooter out till today. Today was not the ideal day for a first ride. It was drizzling and the temperature was round 12 degrees.
It was not really too difficult to paddle out of the garage. I moved right forward so I not quite standing and not quite sitting on the seat and it was not too hard to reverse out of the garage. So that was better than I expected - but not ideal.
History
I got the Address and I really like it. It is very light, easily moved about, quick enough for most roads in Cornwall and, after fitting my Givi top box, can carry quite a high volume.
But it slows down on hills, especially two up.
I also have a 650cc BMW R65LS which I have had for a long time. It doesn't slow down on hills, but it's quite heavy.
So I thought that maybe a more powerful scooter might not only bridge the gap, but ultimately replace both of them.
That was the plan.
