Just wnated to say that I am moving from Edmonton, AB to Windsor, ON in the next few weeks and was thinking serious about riding my Yamaha BWS50. I was usure un till I came across your wonderful inspiring story! I now are totally going to make the trip, as you 2 have inspired me and givn me the confidence that my 49cc 2 month old machine could quite possibly make it!

Well, the Olympics is over here in Vancouver, and I was sure glad I had my scooter during all the traffic jams. The sun was shining & the crowds were incredible! I just get between the cars and boot it (I know you’re not supposed to do it in BC, but the officers are so busy reading their email that they never notice). The big scooters can’t scrape thru traffic like this.

Go Canada Go! You’re one lucky …… Larsen. I wish I could have been in the middle of that chaos for 3 weeks. Not sure my liver would have survived though. Did you have a chance to watch any of the events live?

I ride my scooter year-round mostly because it can park anywhere, unlike a bigger bike. There’s scooters out any day it’s not icy, which is almost every day. And, yes, there’s lots of Yamahas on the road, usually BWS models. The Yamaha sales dudes are always trying to up-sell me on a scooter cruiser, but they’re way too big to park in a bike rack! The best scooter is very small (moped-size) but with a really powerful 2-stroke motor 70cc overbores are awesome!

Thanks for hosting a users’ blog!

Good to hear from you, Larsen. Where are you from? Where do you ride? DB

I don’t get it! It’s a lovely sunny day, a cool +10C here in Vancouver. But still a great day for scooting. I ride my Honda 50cc (sorry about that) to work every day, year round (except when it snows).

Aren’t there any Yamaha scoots riding in February? Have you all parked your machines and switched to video games for the winter?

I don’t get it either, Joseph! I’m not surprised we don’t see more people riding scooters in TO during this time (it is quite cold!!), but surely you must be seeing a few Yamaha’s scootin’ along the streets of Vancouver? We won’t hold your Honda against you, we’re always happy to hear from any two wheel enthusiast! DB
