| I went to a new dentist here in Ely, Nevada and rode the Forza to my appointment. After my appointment we were talking about other things and he looked out the window and said "is that your scooter"? I replied that it was and he informed me he has a scooter also!!! His is a Vespa 300 (really cool dentist eh?)
Small world as there are not a lot of scooters here ; are no dealers within 200+ miles.
Wow. |

| I've seen very few SWings here in my area and I'm the only trike version I've seen here. A couple of years ago I went for a cup of coffee up to Garrison, MN which is by Mille Lacs Lake and met two SWing riders when I was filling up the SWing. One of the guys had over 85K miles on his SWing and if I remember right the other guy had around 50K. They hadn't seen a SWing trike and were interested. |

| Glenn,
Do you know why the dealers are far? With a Silverwing, we rarely need them !!!

Michel I agree Michel, when I bought mine it was going to Honda for everything! All that plastic so I decided not to do any work on it, LOL. But living over 50 miles from a dealer made me think. Following JeffR's pictorials on here I have done tons of maintenance on my scooter! Air filter, oil and final drive oil change, coolant spark plugs etc. Really not that hard and I know the work is done RIGHT. I draw the line at tires and ride in to Honda to purchase and have them install! |
