So, since many of us can't make it to the Camping Trip, Genetics Dave and I are going to be getting together for a lunch or dinner the following Monday.

Thinking Fast Food, cause some of us are poor.

Time?

Place?

TJ?

If it is after 6pm I can make it (off work at 6 Monday). I would suggest something a little more sit down, as there are many restaurants that are no more expensive than most fast food. A BK meal will run you $7-10, red robins will run $12 (just an example). Golden corral run $10 I think.

I am up for anything within reasonable scooter distance (no freeways) of the E-Center for lunch, or anywhere in the valley for dinner. If we do it on Monday my wife can come!

I was more concerned about time than I was about distance. I can easily take a 90 minute lunch, hell even a 3 hour lunch, but I have to make up that time somewhere...

WVC is best for lunch

I would most likely only be able to do lunch. Anyone else interested in lunch, let me know. Otherwise I think I will have to defer to Tuesday night after the Council meeting for a meet.

What kind of fuel economy do you get with the scooter? Do you open carry on it?

I got one too, so I throw out my .40:

Got a 150cc, get 60-80mpg, and I OC on it all the time. $14 a month in gas, $6 a month for insurance, $4 oil change (about 1 a month). NEW purchace price $700+tax. and I can go 55mph.

I am getting about 70 mpg right now, but that is because I push it pretty hard on the way to work. At slower speeds I think I would get 80+ no problem.

Pics are posted on XD Talk (last post of page 3), I tried to post to UCC last night but my internet crapped out on me:

Hmmm...80 MPG = $4 to drive 80 miles on a scooter.

CNG is .63/gge. My four door Contour gets 30 MPG.

$4@ .63 per gallon will give me 6.35 gallons. 6.35 * 30 MPG=190.5 miles!

So a scooter costs more than double to drive than my car!

Have I rubbed it in enough yet? :p
