Spokane, Washington ?

BMW K75 parked in garage for 10 years. Goes on the block this spring. Have decided to downsize. Now have new plastic Chinese scooter. The badge proclaims it AS: "MERATO 150-T9". It runs. Great looks [ for a plastic Chinese ], lots of pretty coppery-colored plastic, 150cc, air-cooled, four-stroke, 11.5hp ( I think ), waiting for dealer to ship replacement headlight switch
[quality-control looks poor], too much snow and ice on the roads here to see what I have yet. Am eager to run it, but am trying to keep my expectations low.

Purchased [impulsively!] on ebay, one month ago, for $1000.00 plus $380 for shipping & insurance. We won't shop at Wal-Mart - so, you see - hypocrites abound. Figured leaning-down on gas use was good for something - so here I am.

Anyone else out there in the ether, with a MERATO 150-T9, your support group awaits you, such as it is.

Seems like a stretch for this part of the world to be able to cook up a scooter club of any sort, but here's trying . . .

I'm in the Spokane area, too. The Minions are an invitation-only group (except for their rides), and focus pretty exclusively on Vespas. I'd love to get a group of scooter enthusiasts together around here. I've now got two little bikes, the second of which is almost back together. My spouse and I would love to ride with a group and have people to share tips & tricks with!
