Finally got a friend for my Uly.
I hated starting up the Uly just to ride 2 miles to work. I found a used Zuma 125 & just couldn't pass it up! The thing is a hoot to ride. I just have to stop using the brake for a clutch. |

That may be a safety problem for you come an emergency situation. I rode my folk's neighbor's Vespa with the 2 brakes on the handlebars and it was a neat scooter but I'm way to ingrained in the brain with the clutch. I'm pretty sure I'd kill myself trying to switch back and forth. Good luck with that. |

It's amazing what your brain can figure out. I had Yamaha dirt bikes and a BSA 441 Victor. The shifter and rear foot brake were reversed but even in emergency situations I never snagged the wrong one. I think the sound of the engine must have triggered my brain to do the right thing. It was strange? |

At least it's the rear brake on the clutch side. I don't think it'll take that much to get accustomed to it. |

Too bad it's not black...you could start to make it look like the Uly's little brother. |

A wide eyed little brother... Hold on, wouldn't it be a sister? I thought in English, most vehicles were considered feminine. Good luck with her/him/it. |
