Gee Casual...*snif* you bring a tear to me eye. LOL I'm an old biker also and I ride scoots. frankly, I love scoots. I love the look and shape of a cruiser better, but honestly, I love the way a scoot handles. Totally light and responsive yet you can ride it clear to the ground.
I had a passenger scream into the back of my helmet once that we were going to die because I leaned us over so far in a curve. LOL
Not to mention, Twist and go makes for a much easier ride when you have nerve damage in the lower back. Don't have to shift gears.
If you see a bully, then click on the ignore feature of the forum. I use it myself. There are one or maybe two that need to be ignored. The rest I don't have a problem with. We do get an occasional spirited debate here though... Like does Alley Poke HER or POLKA? Still in the air on that one...
So feel free to drop in some mental ramblings on occasion. They are always welcome. Even off topic ones. As long as they are not mean spirited.

They are always welcome. Even off topic ones. As long as they are not mean spirited. I am over 60. Started riding at 15, but much larger bikes. I spent some time as a mechanic when much, much younger. I helped a friend fix a GY6. I had to look up some info online and found GY6 engines were pretty fun, and parts are cheap. I went down and bought myself a 150cc GY6 scoot that month. I still ride the larger machines, but my scoot is parked as the "1st ride" in the garage, as it gets more miles than the larger bikes. I will use that mute button if necessary, but I don't think I will have a problem holding my own.

Luke, HINT: It is in this post..... Someone posted it above. Don't think I will be needing it. I will flick back until I am kicked off. If twowheeler gets away with his stuff, there is a lot of wiggle room.
I have a couple of Japanese bikes, and a couple of English bikes. I have a Spanish hill climber. I bought a scoot because I wanted a scoot. I am not afraid to twist a wrench, or to read up on a procedure I don't know. GY6 engines are pretty much lawn mower engines compared to auto, or large bike engines. I like the simplicity, and the ability to get parts from eBay for cheap with free delivery.

Freakin' eh! Good deal. I live in the "Greater San Diego" area, I should get my butt down there. I could also sell some of the crap that is building up. I did dump a Honda parts bike recently. It is a start. It made the old lady happy. She got her garage parking back.

I will check it out. I haven't been there in years. I have new hobbies now. I will be on the lookout for scooters, and dumping computer hardware.
