3950 Voltage garage ramp too high

A fine scooter indeed.

I have 8 or 9 iron horses. A scooter is a fine choice on some days.

Wow someone who kind of knows what I ride.......but it's a Burgman
Yes its a scooter....one on steroids that is.
I have 35k+ miles on it. Will keep up with most iron horses that is until about 110 mph. Of course you wouldn't find me riding it that fast. Too old & smart to do that.

OK, I typo'd. Shoot me.

Yea, it's got a cult following and deserves it. Much like the SV650 did\does before they kind of sissified it with that gladius image.

Now I am going to have to go and look at the Burgman... I have had Vespas and Honda CH's. The fastest scooter I had was a 1979 Vespa Rallye 200e, 105 mph on 10" tire? Wish I had not sold that one. I still have a couple of the Honda CH's floating around. Only one running is a 1987 CH-125, missing a few body parts.

I use the clutch with motor RUNNING. Brakes are useless when backing out. Clutch works just fine once you get used to "braking" with the wrong hand!

I have also added a 3 foot aluminum checkerplate extension to my ramp to reduce the angle.

I usually do better (nervous for video?) and I have since added reinforcements to the ramp extension.

I've got a 3305 Voltage and it does the same thing with my RoadKing
but it hasn't been a problem for me so far.
