Modern Buddy

Bought a left over 2012 Red Roughhouse a couple weeks ago from the Plainville dealer. My FIRST scooter.

My work place has a horrible parking situation.... given that I haven't been at the company 20 years, I do not have reserved parking. The have-nots are left to fend for themselves. I used to get into work by 6am every morning for the sole reason of getting a predictable parking spot. Now with the roughhouse, I can get to work whenever I want to without worrying about parking. I no longer set my alarm (unless the weatherman says I shouldn't ride).

I am 6'2-3... My GF says I look like I am riding a toy. I say that's a small price to pay for a good night's rest

Perhaps I am inviting a little ridicule since I ordered a helmet meant for highway speeds...

Gratz on the purchase. When the weather gets colder, you're going to thank yourself for getting the fullface.

I bought a full face for protection but a side benefit, basically a requirement where I live, is that I can ride in much colder weather. Good choice on the full face.

Welcome fellow Roughhouse rider, congrats on the new scoot. Don't sweat the helmet choice, its a personal thing.

The roughhouse seems like a fun beast!

we have too many bugs and airborne bits of nonsense for me to love a half, so we have fulls and I bought a modular a couple months back.

All are great!

I'm sure you'll love not having to argue for parking, and the gas savings ain't bad either!

Have a great time and Ride Safe.

I am a large man, 300 Plus but losing it a little at a time. My friend said she thought I would look unusual on a scoot but when she saw me on it sad I looked fine. Don’t worry about what people say about how you look have fun. Save that money, and ride safe as I had said.

Welcome to the black sheep side of Genuine. I was pushing 260 for awhile and I'm sure I still look like an elephant riding a gazelle, but if you really cared more about what other people thought than your own joy throughout life, you wouldn't have bought a scooter in the first place, right?

thats how you can tell a happy scooter rider.
by the bugs in his teeth.
at least they are fresh.

Great place to do business with. Doug and the gang are top notch! You will love your new scooter too.

+1 on the FF btw.
