Even the rain cound not get that grin off my face. I would be riding in the rain. You going to wash it anyways it might as well be dirty when you do.

Congrats on the new scoot.

Evertime I get a new or new to me scoot it rains, has never stopped me, I would go crazy looking at it all day long and not getting in the wind.

What is different on the rear suspension between an '9 and '10?

30 seconds after they pulled my 2010 out of the showroom it started to rain. It continued to rain the whole way home. I just looked at it as a way to get to know my bike by washing it later.

Not sure if anything, but I would like to know if it still needs as much air in the shocks and if it's bottoming out less than the 09.
I love my bike but hate the factory rear suspension. I have to run the max of 50 psi to keep from bottoming out when I'm 2 up.
