She’s doing great! Such a smooth scooter and it looks fantastic, I like the looks of those motorcycles, it has that adventure bike look, very sporty, clean lines
Outstanding job! I loved how one of the first things you taught her was using the rear brake to trail-brake at low speeds. I don't even know Mrs. Herbie, but I am very proud of her! Thanks for sharing Herbie. Your channel has become my new favorite. And, just so you know, I am no creep 😃 I'm actually a retired U.S. Border Patrol Agent and a transplanted Mississippian to the Pacific Northwest. God bless to you and yours ❤
Thank you Michael I really appreciate that, very much!! If you’re a Mississippian you are definitely a good guy 😁 Wow, impressive job and retired now I’m jealous 😂 God bless to you and yours as well
@@herbiesgarage681 Thanks, My dad and my brother are both retired Feds...I was the black sheep resisting the "family business" until I reached 30 YOA and then jumped in 😀I pulled the plug after 24 years and 9 months. It was a good move for us in the end. Now, I just like to take long trips on the FJR all summer long 😎
Great job,hope she continues riding an gets more comfortable before going on the road,God bless an can't wait to see your next video of you both riding together.
@@herbiesgarage681 ,she looked like she was having a blast an picking it up pretty well, always nice to watch when someone gets the hang of it an enjoying themselves an smiling,which I couldn't tell with her helmet riding a bit away, smiles an her picking up speed nothing too crazy an her taking turns around the lot says a lot you know,made me smile that someone else was enjoying learning to ride,I love it,I'm gonna have go my privet parking lot area to practice my drills an turns an learn more on counter steering without a crowd watching me practice before my road test,I get way she didn't want anyone but you watching her ride,it makes me nervous when I see someone watching me besides family,at least until you get in your comfort zone.
Exactly,baby steps first for anyone who's never rode before,I did that same technique until I was comfortable enough to take off an using the breaks and then learning for the curves,for a few days,then a week later after I broke in my bike then I put it on the road an got comfortable riding by cars,I was so nervous at first,but,as I was riding for about an hour it was like easy peasy,just had to watch out for others.
@@herbiesgarage681 ,your welcome,yes sir I agree,I almost got hit 4 times in Walmart parking lot when looking for a place to park,as I passed,I looked dead in lady's eyes on a up an down aisle,an she kept heading my way as I was going slowly watching for pedestrians an I swerved an ride down to the lawn an garden area an parked,so I could calm my nerves.
Thanks, it’s been my experience with these Lifan bikes that the oil that gets shipped with the bike is good oil and I usually keep it in until about 35 miles until all the parts play together for a while. Then I drain it and refill with my favorite oil. In years past on my first bike I had shipped to me the oil in that bike was different and had an odd smell so I drained it immediately. That was about 8 bikes ago and 6 years ago. But honestly if you have any question about the oil then yes please do change the oil, it doesn’t take very much so it would be less than $10 in most cases. Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately things do happen, I have a Yamaha FJR 1300 that I just replaced the engine on with only 37k miles and they normally go well over 100k miles. Maintenance is the key to longevity of an engine, changing oil regularly, valve adjustments, coolant change and flush, cleaning and adjusting the cvt belt and things of that sort help tremendously. Of course there are still times when things just happen, if it’s mechanical it will fail eventually. Our hope is that it will last as long as possible. Thanks for sharing the information and I hate that you had to go through that.
Hello, is it turning over on its own with the ignition off, or starting on its own with the ignition off? If it’s turning over with the ignition off then a bad starter relay is what I would be looking at. The primary side of the relay would have to be stuck closed and that would spin the starter until the battery went dead I would think. If it’s actually starting on its own, I don’t even know if that is possible. Too many things would have to go bad at once for that to happen. Do you have a remote start added onto the bike?
@@Here4apurp0se Thanks for asking, but she hasn’t been riding very much at all. I had hoped she would ride more, maybe this year. I’m over 60 myself and I believe this scooter would be perfect for you to learn on. It kind of depends on your health and flexibility I guess but it’s probably one of the easiest learning bikes you’ll find in my opinion
@@DominatingMoose She is 5’ 2” tall. I think you’ll be happy with this scooter, it’s really pretty awesome and Venom will take care of you too. Let me know if you need anything
@herbiesgarage681 thank you so much. I was just waiting for a reason to purchase, so I ordered it this morning. I'm so excited for it to come in! I think it will be perfect for my 2 miles commute to work on city street lol
@ You’re welcome, congratulations on your new scooter when you get it! You will be happy with it I’m sure. Let me know if I can assist in any questions on assembly or anything
@herbiesgarage681 I actually got the fully put together package. I wanted to make sure the professionals put it together and then figured I'd have my husband take a thorough look for added safety. Thank you for your responses! Your channel helped calm my anxiety so much!
I think the two of you guys sharing this together is a beautiful thing! Way to go Herbie family! Mrs Herbie you're doing a great job 👏
Awe, Thank you Billy we appreciate that! She says thank you, she appreciates the support!
Great job by Mrs. Herbie! That is a great place to practice. No one wants to go to school on Saturday!
She appreciates it, yeah that’s for sure 😂

@@MichaelJones-ir3cc lucky dog 😁 but I’m happy for you
@@herbiesgarage681 I just sent you an introductory email to your email account. Just sayin' hello!
She took to it pretty damn good. Won't be long and she will be popping wheelies with ya!
😂 she’s definitely liking it, she wants to practice again tomorrow 😁
Great job,hope she continues riding an gets more comfortable before going on the road,God bless an can't wait to see your next video of you both riding together.
Yes, she will have lots of practice before hitting the road and mostly remote roads first. Thanks

@@kennywheelus6857 Absolutely understand that, I hope you pass with flying colors, I know you will 👍
@@herbiesgarage681 , awesome, ty I appreciate it
congrats Mrs Herbie!
She said Thank you very much!
Winner winner ! Another great video! awesome place to do all of this also!
Thank you, yeah being away from everything helps her not to worry about stuff and focus on learning her technique of riding
Nice! I got the same scooter from Venom. Just ordered a rear rack and rear luggage trunk. Im planning to turn it into a adventure/touring scooter.
Awesome Dan! 👍🏻 Did you order the trunk and rack from Venom or somewhere else?
@@herbiesgarage681 Amazon. But I got the KPV 150 from Venom.
Exactly,baby steps first for anyone who's never rode before,I did that same technique until I was comfortable enough to take off an using the breaks and then learning for the curves,for a few days,then a week later after I broke in my bike then I put it on the road an got comfortable riding by cars,I was so nervous at first,but,as I was riding for about an hour it was like easy peasy,just had to watch out for others.
Thanks Kenny, yeah watching for others is a big thing, people are more distracted than ever with the cell phone thing.

@@herbiesgarage681 ,yes sir, that's good an will do,thank you,like wise,take care an be safe
Awesome job! She'll get the hang of it in no time.
Thanks Jerry, yeah she’s a quick learner, must be the good teaching she has 😂
@@herbiesgarage681 sure! If you say so. 😂
@@JerryHawk250 😂
If you haven't yet, be sure to drain and change the oil it came with. Its a very cheap oil just meant to prevent rusting while in transport.

I wonder if this scooter is reliable enough to where you can do all the maintenance yourself.
I believe that it is and I will be doing all of my own maintenance on it.
I have the kpv150. I've had it for 2 years. Put 8k miles on it and already had to replace the motor.
Unfortunately things do happen, I have a Yamaha FJR 1300 that I just replaced the engine on with only 37k miles and they normally go well over 100k miles. Maintenance is the key to longevity of an engine, changing oil regularly, valve adjustments, coolant change and flush, cleaning and adjusting the cvt belt and things of that sort help tremendously.

Hey herbie i need your help my kpr200 is starting by it self even if the ignition is off can you please guide me what can be the issue?

How’s she doing? Is she still riding? I’m 60-ish and want to learn to ride a scooter, but I’m wondering if I’m too old and just wishful thinking.
@@Here4apurp0se Thanks for asking, but she hasn’t been riding very much at all. I had hoped she would ride more, maybe this year.

Sorry to hear that. I guess I'll take the safety course and go from there.
@@Here4apurp0se Good luck with everything!
Im late on this video, but how tall is Mrs. Herbie? Im 5'3 and i want to order this from Venom for my first ride!
