Scooters are for Riding!

I bought a Honda because I wanted something reliable. I bought a Silver Wing because I wanted something with some power. I bought it used because I wanted to drive it to death so I wanted one already depreciated.

I ended up with a 2002 with 4800 miles on it in June. Now I'm at 9600 miles, having fun on every mile.

It took 8 years for the first 4800, and 14 weeks for the next 4800.

I agree completely! I've had mine just 4 days past two months, and I am planning a 600 mile ride tomorrow. When complete, I will have about 4400 miles on it, and we're just starting to get into the good riding season in desert Arizona (not so hot!). I'm actually riding the SWing more than I did the GoldWing. Fabulous!

Keep those wheels rolling!!!

I bought my 2007 Swing new in July of 2008, so it has been just over 25 months and I am about to roll 19,000 miles. If we didn't have icy roads in the winter I would have even more...

The "ifs" are the killers. If I didn't have 3 business trips in the last three months I would be riding more too. I really miss my scoot when I'm out of town. I especially missed it in Colorado when it seemed like everyone else on the road was on 2-wheel transportation.

Alas I am going to New Jersey next week for a few days so that's more time I could be riding that I'll miss.

I could not agree more !!!!!!!!!! I got I think almost 1700 miles on my 09 after buying it 7-27-10. I use it every damn chance I can, I love riding so much. Whats not to like about this bike. Comfort storage relliable great gas milage and more. I did 140 miles on it today SADKY WITH REAL NASTY CROSS WINDS and cloudy skys . This bike was ment to ride and cruise with it I. Many ask me about it many dont know what to make of it and when I tell them the capabilities of this machine?????? they say NO FRIGIN WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This 09 stays with me till the plastic rots off the frame :-) Theres no reason these bikes can last a crazy high milage life with proper and tight maintance. Im a firm believer what you put into it youll get out of it. I me personally every week like clock work I center stand it and wash the tires and rims and belt drive black cover then dry it and dust off the rest of the bike then wax it top to bottom and treat the seat and floor board rubber footing area and tunnel and black belt civer and rear fender wuth black magic tire black. . That also gives me a chance to inspect the nuts bolts and screws. I guess im anal but I love my bike so much then again thats the way i care for all of my things

During my free holidays I was riding my SW every day. Nowadays the weather is so horrible I am a little affraid - but I still ride it in the afternoons and weekends

Try having a job where you have to cart laser alignment fixtures back and forth from work sites every day. Weekends are spent collating data and writing build instructions. Have time for church and little else.
