Just joined the RH50 rodeo circus

Post by jaeger45 »

New proud owner of a '12 RH50. Did quite a bit of research on this forum before buying. Tons of great info and knowledgable people here. Thanks.

Never thought I would be "seen" on a scooter - real men ride real bikes (right?).

Quote from wife: "Shut up and stop talking about things you know nothing about. Have you ever ridden one?"

Quote from me: "Nope".

Went by the dealer, test drove various models, had a blast, bought one. Now you can't get me off the thing.

I should listen to my wife more often. LOL.



P.S. Now I understand Lotrat's avitar. The owners manual is hilarious...

Post for reference only.

Yeah, the manual is great. The service manual is just as fun.

Congrats on the scoot. If it has gas, I'll ride it. I don't care what it is. It's all good.

Oh, freaking, effing yeah! Add another RH50 to the mix and let the party begin. I'm very overly happy to see another RH50 owner/poster. Welcome to the forums.
If you have question's, this is the place for answer's. And real MEN ride scoot's because we don't care what anyone else thinks.

Yup, you will enjoy the RH50 quite a bit. It's my third scooter and I think 9th motorized 2-wheeled vehicle. I love running around on the RH50. Did some number crunching the other day... I hit about 112 mpg over the last three fills. That's going to plummet though as I start doing my serious upgrades soon.

Wow. 112mpg? How do you manage that? I have no idea what my mpg will be but never thought about that kind of number.

What's your secret?

No hills and gentle break-in period. I'm almost up to 500 miles where I'm going to start opening it up quite a bit. Right now it is just neighborhood only.

Thx. That's my enviroment also (side streets and no hills). Will keep it "cool" and below the radar until 500 miles also.
