Hello, I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the former beer capital of the US.I'm 65 this year and I just got my first scooter after riding mopeds for a couple of summers and all too often pushing them home. I sold all my mopeds and found a Honda Elite 80 is in absolutely mint condition with very low miles. I haven't ridden that much yet but so far am liking it very much. The ride is considerably easier on my bony old back side than the mopeds were. I'm not sure what kind of speed or acceleration time I should be getting but it seems to top out near 40 and takes a while to get to that as well. Scooter runs great, no complaint there. I've read a bit about the elites and how there is little to improve performance as the valves are small. If that's not true I sure hope someone will point me in the right direction. I plan to do a search very soon for relevant information, I'm sure it's been discussed here. I mostly just wanted to introduce my self and read what's being discussed for awhile before I jump in with both feet.
