Name's Randy, but you will all know me as Jeepmaster322. the screen name describes my other passion, but this is a scooter forum, so...... I am an avid rider, who lives in Western WI. By avid, I mean that I ride all year round, yes even in the cold, snowy midwestern winters. If there is a day when the roads are bare, I will get in a few miles. Some call me crazy ( my wife ) but if ya dress for it, no prob. I ride a modded 250cc Chinese toring scooter made by Znen. Have been riding for years and perfer scooters to motorcycles, most days. Hope to share info on this site with fellow enthusiasts. Ride-on...

Welcome Jeepmaster322, Good to have you on the forum, I am from below you in suburb of chicago. I too will take a short ride in the dead of winter as long as the streets are dry. And like you said if you dress for it is isn't bad and besides our butts always stay warm we have heated seats . Alleyoop

Welcome jeepmaster22! I'll say one thing for sure I'd rather ride in the cold than this miserable heat we have now it's 10:00 p.m. and still 92F! Yuck!
there must be a great interest in scooters in Wisconsin as just yesterday I talked to a young man from that state that is having clutch problems with hsi 83 Yamaha Riva 180 and I hope soon he'll post a rebuild on the forum.
Again welcome to the forum and tell us more about the 250.
JR

Welcome, jeepmaster322. A diehard scoot rider with many years of experience who likes to do some wrenching. I bet you have a lot of interesting stories about your scooters and riding in general.

Hi again, thanks for the welcome comments..... Here are a couple pix of my ride. She's gotta CDI upgrade as well as a K&N filter, performance pipe, and Dr. Pulley variator sliders with a kevlar belt. Some "luggage" upgrades for utility and a GPS mount for trips. Oh, and a lighting/charging system upgrade for night time. Currently at just over 4500 miles, easily does 75mph and averages 67MPG. Lovin' the Lance Attachments:
