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
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.

always start with the simple, it may end up costing you little to nothing
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?
