Or not.
Hello everyone.
Long time scooter rider, but new to this particular forum.
I'll try to be brief. Male, 39, Married w/kids, Las Vegas.
Back in the day, I was a bicycle messenger in Washington DC and NYC. Back before the fax machine and email when we could actually make good money.
Moved to LA and bought a Kymco 50cc and a Honda Nighthawk 750cc. Had to sell one, sold the Nighthawk. Scooter was 10x more fun and practical.
I hate, loathe and despise cars.
Obviously I have a large amount of 2 wheeled experience. The caveat is that I always lived in the inner-city, and always had to have someone work on the bikes for me (I have never had a workspace and/or mechanical knowledge). You can't work on your stuff when it is parked on the street or in a public parking garage.
Now I live in Las Vegas. I live a few blocks from the strip. Just bought a 2007 Tank Sporty 150, but it's been a mechanical headache so far. Yes, I know ... what did I expect. I actually expected the 2007's to be better, people told me I was nuts to buy a Kymco in 2001, so I have always gone against the grain a bit. Might be trading the Tank for a used TGB, not sure yet (thread about this in main forum). I still live in a large hi-rise with a garaged parking space and cannot work on my own bike, so I am still dealer-defendant for work. Probably always will be. I am a mechanical moron. Luckily the dealer is 3 miles away.
Anyway, that's my intro.
I hope it wasn't as painful boring for you to read as it was for me to type.
Later.
