Naw. Instructor follows you in a car: “Turn left, then right, then right. Then pull over and wait for me. Then do 2 left hand circles in the road, 2 right hand circles in the road, and 2 figure 8’s. Don’t put your foot down.” ---

and if you decide you’d like something other than a Chinese scooter, LMK, I sell/restore/and supply parts for vintage Vespa and Lambretta scooters, and often times get vintage small displacement motorcycles and Japanese scoots as well. [www.buffalo66.net](http://nyspeed.com/forums/www.buffalo66.net) (piss poor site, but gives you the idea) the way I look at it is that in 5 years, when the manufacturer of the chinese scoot is out of business (many have folded already) where are you going to get parts? I have access to this brand of scooters as well-I’ll have them on the floor come spring. tried and true, and manufactured by a company that has been around since the 60’s [http://www.genuinescooters.com/scooters.html](http://www.genuinescooters.com/scooters.html) Percy. ---
