I don't want to steal TL's thunder, but I got a new ride,too. This is
a Piaggio motor scooter (Subsidiary of Vespa), and it reportedly gets
upward of 85 MPG.

I know what you're thinking... 74 years old and on a motor scooter.
One of us is crazy....

Good for you I'm a biker too ...Your only as old as you feel...Just do not do that poser thing and not ware you gear... I hope at your age I'm still on a bike ...I'm 43 and have six bikes ...Just got a 05 GSXR 1000 that thing rocks ...I just got my driving record cleaned up..So I'm going to whip and ride till the cops till me other wise ..Lots of mountain roads around Northern Arizona... It beats "flying the couch" when your getting older... CC when I grow up I want to be just like you..
Ride safe
 
...and if you don't mind me asking, how much? I've always thought that scooters were overpriced compared to Japanese motorcycles with much more power, carrying capacity, and technical instruments. I would love to hear a real world comparison of features and price from someone who owns one.

Matt: Yes, on the right side. You can barely see it.

The scooter was $2,395 out the door. I bought it from RK Chevrolet, and
they charged me a DMV processing fee of $299.00 when there is no DMV
paperwork to do !!!

Daredevil days ? You gotta be kidding... Altho I have to admit I have
done some dumb (read: stupid) things in my lifetime.

TL: That's nice looking bike, but outta my league. The man at RK
told me to keep the shiny side up. Good advise..

What I am waiting for, tho, is Adler to see this thread.....
