| I guess folks are supposed to introduce themselves as they join the forum, so here goes. We are on Wilmington Island near Savannah, GA. I have a 2005 Swing 600A that I recently acquired. The scoot was in reasonable shape with only a couple of visible scuffs on the Tupperware and some Tupperware rattle up front. Candidly, I was most surprised at the acceleration offered by the Swing. I have had more fun at red lights than Carter had Liver Pills (old time product - that only the grey-backs will probably recognize). Anyway, based on what I have read on the forum to date, the lack of vitriol in the vast majority of posts and the individual respect for others shown in posts, I look forward to MOS. If fate should offer the opportunity, I would enjoy getting to know some of the "characters" a little better regardless of whether or not they deserve it (paraphrase of Bilbo's parting address).
Cordially,
Dr. D |

| Dr D,
Welcome to the site and congrats on your new SWing. The SWing does have a surprising amount of acceleration and it gets up quick. If you need to do any maintenance then just look in the maintenance section or just ask us any questions. We are a good group of people here too. Again, welcome. |

| Welcome and Hi from Medford Oregon Dr. D. You aren't a real coot yet. If you were you'd remember it was originally 'Carter's Little Liver Pills'. |

| I too just bought a new silver-wing, have enjoyed reading the site. Maybe we both can learn a lot on the swing.
I also live in Ga, but across the state near Alabama line |

Welcome to the site Dr. D. I'm sort of a coot but haven't figured out how little a liver is yet. LOL |

Welcome to the site Dr. D. I'm sort of a coot but haven't figured out how little a liver is yet. LOL I never was sure whether Carter's pills were small or designed for small livers until they changed the name to Carter's Little Pills. |
