Pretty much like all of the sub-forums on FTE you can click on the name...in this case "Arkansas Chapter" and it will show you everything in that sub-forum. There might be more to it...but that's all that I'm aware of.

I've had it since 2001 and it is pretty much my main source of transportation most of the year, but the F350 is the one I pick if the weather is funky. Seems the older I get the bigger sissy I become when it gets cold outside;-)
When I bought my C50 in the fall of '07 it was my first scooter. I had riden a buddies Honda around some backroads...I think it's an early '80s something vintage 4-banger...about 350cc??? At the time I was commuting 45 miles to work and my old Exploder was killing me on fuel. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it enough to justify too much of a monthly payment. The C50 was within my budget and so far I've enjoyed it. Though on one trip to Tulsa, I discovered about 30 minutes into a 2 hr ride...it isn't well suited to the Super-Slab. Talk about squirrely
...and at 70 it sounded like I was riding a milkshake mixer.

I wish I could ride more than I have in the last 6 months. Part of my unemployment is we keep the 4 year at the house with me. Momma and I both agreed that she doesn't need to be on the scooter...not to mention it's against state law. So finding somewhere for her to go every time I want to ride is a hassle. Hopefully I'll get back to work soon and everything will return to "normal" and I'll get to ride in my spare time.
