Rear view mirror angle - not good

Not all is good in my Sym GTS 125 Evo :(

Since day one that I don't feel comfortable with the angle of the rear view mirrors.
They look good, they retract... but I cannot see what's happening behind me...

If I put them pointing inside I only see my arms... if outside they point too side ways and I cannot see right behind.

Normally I've to move my arm inside my body and stretch my head a little to view anything on my back. This is an issue for my rookie driving skills...

Questions... ask me some...

In a previous post someone ask:

"então man , e mais novidades? comportamento na estrada nas curvas , travões , consumos , médias? revisões , falta mais informação"

Which can be summarized as:
a) road behavior;
b) curve behavior;
c) breaks;
d) consume;
e) revisions;

For a), b) and c) I must remind my readers that this is my first ever motorcycle, and I'm still a little rookie on the road, and since I have no comparison terms I must say I'm very satisfied with the behavior of the maxi-scooter. I'll try to ask a friend who drives bikes for years for an expert review, any time in the future...

For d), unfortunately I've not rode my Symone has I expected to, because of the lousy weather and because I'm at home taking care of my recent born baby, so I only fill up the gas tank twice. So far consume is what expected prior to revision, it's something about 4lt/100kms. After that it supposed to be less, I will post information as soon as I have it, in a few months time...

Regarding e), the first revision is free :) - it was a benefit from the motorbike store. The first revision is at 1000km, I'm still at half of that :(

Feel free to ask me something, I'll try to answer...

Another good Sym GTS Evo blog

Found this great Sym GTS Evo blog the other day:

It's in portuguese so use the Google Translator if needed.

There is some valuable information, take a look...

The passenger's pedals

So you need to take a back rider passenger?
Well, he or she must put the feet somewhere...

Here are the back pedals (view from above):

Close pedal

Open Pedal

Never took a passenger thou... :(

[I guess everyone still afraid of my driving skills... ]

Lets talk storage #2 - secret hideout

This is a small compartment but quite handy.
It has no lock so it's no good to keep valuable stuff.
It's where I keep a simple cloth to clean up the seat from dust and humidity.

I took the photos with a tissue packet and a 50 cents euro coin to give the perception of the dimension.

Scooter Station review

Found a great review from a French site on scooters about the Sym GTS 125 Evo:
