Scooter as a second?

[Noobie]

Being a bigger lad, most of my bikes have been on the bigger size and mostly sports tourers. Riding them just for around town rides seemed a faff so I also had at various times, a Scooter as well. It seemed to be the perfect match, scooter for local, bike for beyond. If go beyond the learner scooters, there are quite a few decent ones to be had, even second hand.

Anyway, just an example of how new ones have improved.

Noobie, are you indeed ?

I wish I had his hair but not his teeth. I did see aerosmith at the Buffalo Chip at the Sturgis Rally in 2009. Great show, right up until he fell off the stage and broke his shoulder.

I saw them 3 times in the 80` and 90`s, they were great live , their early music was gritty and raw.
I notice you didn`t answer the question though so are you getting back in the saddle ? Bike not bird as per the lyrics.

I doubt it. More likely to buy a project just to tinker

Had one of these a couple of years ago. Mine was the C70 with only < 6k miles on the clock. I sold it for £1200 if memory serves

A bit of a price difference though
