You appear to be a little slow... Define where the misinformation is. I stated my personal experiences with Makos, which is pretty much un-arguable. Most people would also consider that useful information. Your axe-to-grind may cause your mileage to vary... I'll repeat the question: do you own any scooters? Do YOU have something to contribute to the thread?
