New In Dfw

[pohutukawa]

I put in my $1k. Mr. Elio seems to have a lot of people that want to put up a hunk of cash for a blip way off there on the horizon.
This vehicle won't hold a candle to my FJr1300 for speed or fun. But, on those 2 days a year average when I don't ride my bike to work because of ice on the roads... It looks like a fun alternative.

I am looking forward to the fight with the parking garage at work. There is a designated 'motorcycle only' parking area, a LONG way away from the doors. So - the Elio is officially a 'motorcycle' in Texas. When I park my new 'motorcycle' in the motorcycle parking - do I get hassled? If I do, then should I start parking my bike in a closer spot? Ooooh. This is going to be a fun time!

Welcome, pohut! Agreed, there are a lot of people that are anxious to see if it can happen.

Hi and welcome from Oregon, pohutukawa. No matter what the government says, if it looks like a car, drives like a car, etc., etc., etc., it doesn't belong in the motorcycle parking area. However, be very grateful for POV lane use if you need it. :-) Z

Welcome from TN. I can imagine that on the really hot days the AC would be nice.

I have no problems in any parking areas with my three wheel "Scoot Coup" so I doubt that you would have any such worries! My biggest issue is you have to take time to answer so many questions about your ride... I am sure it will be even more so with the Elio! Just enjoy!

Hi and welcome from DWF. Live out in Wylie. There is a strong DFW presence with the Elio. Lots of members here from this area.

WELCOME & CONGRATULATIONS, pohutukawa, from your next door neighbor in the Bayou State and future birth place of the Elio; Louisiana!

Congratulations and welcome from New Mexico. You are about one Elio tank of gas away.
