| 40 years off bikes. Previously rode Vespas, Hondas, Moto Guzzi. Not much touring, but basic transportation and day-trips. Did some road-racing (Summit Point West Virginia), and one of my Vespas was my only transportation for two years, living in Northern New England, so a lot of winter riding. It was a 180cc 2-stroke, 4 speed transmission, magneto electrics with no battery.
Moved to Southern AZ 3 years ago, and retired at the end of December 2019. I've been thinking about getting a scooter and doing a lot of research. Love to have another Vespa, but they've become relatively expensive. I'd love to have a twin cylinder maxi, and stumble across a Silverwing. 2004, non ABS, 20500 miles. No service records, but at a Honda dealer who replaced both tires, tuned, fluids, etc. They replaced the drive belt for me at a discount.
I'm anxious to pick it up, get it home, and start having fun.
