Yep.... but when you get off of the ferry, turn left on RT 5 and run it straight to Richmond. I've cruised it countless times in the S2000. Nothing but winding country road with plenty off passing zones for 'tards that think you are going to slow.

Just got back from riding around Ghent/Norfolk... after parking it I realized I had done over 75 miles. Beautiful night.

You must be on a phone or something, the fella's in here pretty much answered all that a few posts ago. Here's a pic of the inside of my CVT cover anyways.




SN: I wasn't trying to be an ass-hat. Everyone in this thread IS NOT the typical 'driven tools. This is one of the few zero hostility spots to post. We are like "scooter family" if you will. So if anyone is being a smart ass, it's just friendly banter so no need to take it badly. Just a lil' FYI.

Ya know... I'm pissed right now. This bitch ran perfect in the house (room was same temp as outside) Started it outside to ride it around the block, about the time I latched my helmet it just cut off... and now it wont start. The battery is to dead to start it now. Tried starting with the kick start back on and it won't. Got a few sputters but no start.

Nismo- What post were you responding to? i don't remember anyone saying anything in a hostile way to you, like Fobangah said we are a "scooter family" and try to be as helpful as possible.

Fobangah- Assuming you cleaned out the gas lines and tank? You would be surprised at the crap that gets stored in the bottom of the tank and will clog the jets really easy. Also if I remember correctly, if the battery is so dead the scooter will not run correctly.

Oh and as a side note, I will be passing through Richmond around 10ish tonite, possibly stop by and help if you need it.

Southwade- Making my bottle look good.

Scooter Familia- That ride looks extremely sweet, couple nice bridges, long scenic route. That is close to the ride we did with those Richmond bros, defiantly worth it.

AfricanChild- Zumas are sweet scoots, not to mention they are really easy to modify to get power out of.
