Piaggio Fly 150 Scooter Review

Here is my Piaggio Fly scooter review... I lived in Bermuda for a year and while I was there my boyfriend and I had a Piaggio Liberty scooter, which I LOVED AND ADORED almost as much as I wanted a Vespa scooter (only I couldn't afford one).
Anyway, when we came back home we realized we really missed our scooter, so we bought the new Piaggio Fly with a 150cc, which I am also equally, if not MORE in love with. I'm not usually a driver, but a passenger most of the time, but I can say that it's a nice smooth ride and is perfect for local commuting.
My boyfriend is a bike mechanic by hobby, so he insisted on getting a new pipe for it to give it some more power, which we did and it's got a quicker pick up to it now. I couldn't care less about the additional noise and would have stayed with the original pipe, but everyone who likes bikes and scooters enjoys the added purrrrring 
.
He also is the type to prefer shifting bikes, but since I don't shift we chose the Fly and he tells me all the time he doesn't know why he loves this scooter so much because he usually hates automatics- clearly this says something about how awesome our little scooter is!!!
A few things I like... the Piaggio Fly isn't too heavy, like the BV250 (one we were also looking at), which is important when a small person like me handles a bike. I like to know I can pick it up if I slide out and I also like knowing I won't look like an idiot trying to lunge my body weight into it to get it off the kickstand!!!
The Piaggiio Fly is not too bad on the wet roads when it rains; I don't get much sliding or skidding, just really wet! So make sure you pack those rain jackets!
I'm also known for carrying way too much stuff on the bike with me so the added compartments are nice to have. Also, the price on the Piaggio Fly is affordable compared to the other bikes we were looking at and it's AMAZING on gas, which makes our lives even better.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
