| Hi Folks.
I've been lurking here for a few weeks. It looks like a friendly and helpful group. I am a 65-year-old new rider -- just completed the MSF course last weekend and got my motorcycle license yesterday. No bike yet, but I think I'll be shopping for a Swing over the next few weeks/months. I look forward to conversing with everybody.
Mike

| Welcome Mike.
I'm new here also. I am 66 and have a 2012 Silverwing. It's a great machine.
I'm sure you will enjoy one. |

| Mike,
Welcome from a fellow Texan!
Saw this one on Craig's List here in San Antonio at CycleRider:

Beautiful color and has ABS - price seems fair.

| Thanks Ed. You're right -- that's a mighty pretty color. I'm still a couple of weeks from making a purchase, but if that's still around, I'll give him a call.
Thanks to everyone for the welcomes. |

I bought my then 7 yr old S'Wing for $3,250 so that $6k tag seems really high to me. In either case, welcome, Mike. :-) |

| Well, after test riding several scooters, I've decided. I committed today to buy a Burgman 400. It's a 2008 with 15,000 miles. Will take delivery on Tuesday (after the bank opens). So I think this means I'll probably be hanging out on the Burgman forum more than here. I'd like to continue to read everyone's experiences with the Swing, though, so I'll be "listening" here, too.
Mike
