Hiya, Georgia Dawg..
I am sort of new to the forum as well. I have only done one introductory post a couple of months ago. This is really a great forum, I review it daily. I don't post much as I have limited mechanical ability, but I am certainly a great fan; if not a significant contributor to the board.
Sounds like you have got the whole Aprilia thing going on...nice stable of machines. My current ride is an 06 Harley Sportster 883cc low. Shortly after purchase, I brought the scoot to Kelly's motorcycle in Mandeville, La. and he installed low restriction Rheinhart slip-ons, a K&N air filter, and a re-jet to sea level conditions. 7499 miles to date and it's running fine.
Most of my riding is about a 40 mile round trip, maybe 3 times per week; that involves some high speed travel, but also lots of stop and go, slow- speed manuvering. This involves a whole lot of shifting. I am thinking that an automatic scooter would be a more relaxing mount, because of the lower center-of-gravity and reduced weight. I am an older guy (pushing 70 YO) that has been lurking for a few months now and really enjoying Scoot Dawg's site. Big Guy has a site too, and like most forum members, he really knows what he is talking about. I am leaning toward a KYMCO since I am not a skilled "wrench". Welcome aboard.
Happy scootin' and be careful out there!

Welcome SuperDave. This is a great place to be. I am originally a Ga. Peach. ( From the Middle Ga. area. ) If you don't mind me asking what part of Ga. are you from? I'm about 20 miles east of Atlanta in a small town called Conyers. I live right down the road from the Georgia International Horse Park , where thay had the Olympic equestrian events in 96. Thanks for the Warm Welcome |
