if you only weigh 150 lbs 6.5:1 gears will be fine.

tall gears will give you the best topend

You will be fine on 6.5:1 if you only weigh 150.

Going fast without the ability to stop just as fast is STUPID at the least and having a death wish at the worst. In either case STUPID! You are the same idiot that rides without a helmet.

Having almost died from a 45 mph crash, saved my head with a high dollar helmet, the body took a major beating, I have a different slant on wearing helmets that the young and dumb.

But a perfect example is the guy that was riding in a parade without a helmet to protest helmet laws, he crashed at about 10 mph and died.

I'm with you Bear, I've always worn a full face helmet any time I ride my scooters. A woman fell on her bicycle 3 years ago in my town, she hit her head on a curb and is now a parapolegic. Humans are fragile. And even at 25mph, crashing against a 25mph SUV is like 50mph into a wall. DEAD..... :imo:
