Hello from West Connecticut! By blueboy5000 (Read 630 times)

Hello! My name is Blueboy5000, I'm a new member who found your site to be pretty cool!

I'm 35, live in Waterbury CT, where I am president of The Grey Market Raiders Chinese Scooter Club of Connecticut.

I maintain a small fleet of five bikes (soon to be seven!). I hope to share my knowledge of GY6 150cc and 50cc bikes with everyone, especially noobs, since how are they gonna learn if they don't ask?

I've been riding scooters avidly since 1988 (i was a mere 12 when I got my first Honda C-90). In recent years, due to their rising popularity, I have been mostly focusing on the 157 style engine and the 139.

Currently I ride a 2011 Baccio 13" wheel scooter with a 157qmj engine, and maintain a 2007 Wildfire with a 157qmj, a 2008 Sunl Adventure with a 1p57, two 139 50cc's (a 2008 Roketa Bahama 50 and a 2007 Redstreak retro-style) and a 2002 Kymco Yup 50 2t.

I look forward to meeting you guys and sharing knowledge of this hobby, and helping new riders learn to maintain their bikes, so that the scooting craze grows!

Welcome brother!!!!!!! Sift through the info at your leisure and ask as many questions as you can. IMO that's the only way to learn... besides getting yer hands dirty--- only to find new questions arise. You found the best scoot resource on the Internets. Not the biggest just, the best!!

Welcome Blue,
Good to have you on the forum, nice stable of scoots you have there, when you get a chance put of pictures of them in your corral.

Man all I can say is I thought I was scooter poor with four!

So glad you're here Blue and we welcome anyone who has the desire and willingness to help fellow scooterist and I mean that. It doesn't matter if it is someone who doesn't know the simpliest of things to the folks who have some of those real hair pullers we will try our best to help.

Hope you're getting some good weather for your club and we have a section for that also. Again Welcome sir and glad you're here!

Welcome to the forum, fellow New Englander. New England especially outside the cities has been a hard sell for scoots. There was a dealer in my town, but he went out of business in less than a year which leaves me without a dealer that I know of in a 30 mile radius. This year does seem to be a turning point though. I have seen many more of the 50cc and 150cc Chinese scoots. I'm sure we may even have some scooter clubs around here. Thanks again for joining.

Welcome! 7 scoots?? That's like having a bag full of golf clubs!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I will most certainly take pics of my fleet and post them in The Corral
