Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

These things sell for a dime a dozen in the Chicago burbs. No one wants them out my way. Same with pocket bikes and gopeds.

I've noticed 10% stickers on BP pumps for years now. Most other stations around here don't add the eth of death, or they're using ultra-fine print on the bottom of the pumps.

Here's my $160 2002 Yamaha Vino w/ 2.3k miles. All it needs / needed was new gas, a wire brush, mirrors, and a bearing in the trans. Does 40-43mph on level ground. Had it up to 50mph down hill.

I bought a Vino and a Metro, otherwise I'd consider going down there. Only 1.5hrs away.

This doesn't look like any Honda I'm familiar with. I don't remember any of the Elites having round body panels, apart from the SA50's.

3-4 times a week for me, at least - and that's the problem. I need an Evil Kenievel certified coffee holder.

Make sure you wear a cup while... your spree carries one.

Haha, just made a thread about a cup holder. I'm in the same boat. I need a good cup holder. I've thought about making one out of wood and just placing it in my milk crate.

Anyone have success installing a durable / stable / reliable cup holder? If so, which one did you use, where did you mount it, and do you have pics? I'm tired of spilling coffee on my lap while driving with one hand.

What about you all? Anything crazy?

That's funny. I found a weed eater on the side of the road a few weeks ago. I went back to pick it up at 11pm but it went poof . I had 5-6 bungee cords ready for action.

I'd wear one on a scooter, not a bike. It's the type of helmet I expect a Vespa owner to wear. You know, the snooty type that roll up to Starbucks and demand 1% dairy whip cream with sugar free drizzle. From time to time you'll see them scrape the tip of their nose on the ceiling. Me, on the other h...

So, the wheel won't turn at all while on the stand, but the engine dies?

I find it interesting that someone signed for the packages and yet left them outside. Maybe the UPS guy was lazy that day.

Priced well, considering the condition and accessories. I haven't seen a windshield for an FA50 for a while and I can't ever remember seeing the foot shield.

Wow, I feel left out of the loop. I could have saved millions!
