Well I just wanted to introduce myself as a newcomer to the forum and a new scooter owner in Virginia. ;D
I've been riding for a few weeks now after taking the plunge and getting a Piaggio Fly 50. Like a lot of people I got it for my daily commute (about 12 miles round trip) and already I've got the bug and I'm ready to move up to a 150 or better! I am taking my MSF basic riders course next Monday and Tuesday so wish me luck (two days vacation time well spent!) and my son already is eyeing the 50cc Scoot as his personal transportation when he goes off to college in '09!
The Fly is a nice ride and I think it looks pretty good too, but I see now that the 50cc engine can be a little 'limiting', especially as the road I travel on can get pretty busy at times. But at least I now have a new-found respect for everyone on 2 wheels.
This looks like a cool forum and I intend to spend some time reading up on all the posts here.
Happy 4th of July everybody!
