The scooter had been blow over in a wind storm. Live in Missouri. But anyhow, it done $550 in damage. Tore off both mirrors, broke windshield, reflect was brake, front shield and dash, the ignition key was bent and big plastic piece was twisted. The insurance company gave me $350 and I ordered most parts that were broken, some like mirrors were not origanal and I ordered led lights from additional turn signal lights. Here is what it looks like today.

 Right after fixing it back up, rode from central Missouri to Quincy, IL.. On 70 MPH highways. It was approx 125 miles. No trouble keeping up with my wife's Honda Rebel. |

1parrot2,
Welcome to the site! Have a bone on the old chopper guy for the quick and attractive repair!
That is a good looking scoot! LOVE the saddlebags... I'm an old-school Harley guy. You don't see bags on scooters too often, but they surely come in handy when the trunk is full and there are still some groceries left in the cart... LOL! Tell us more about it. Must be at least a 250 or bigger to keep up with the Missus' Reb. Let us know what kind/size scooter it is, and your experience with it so far.
Here's my old '07 Kymco Grandvista... Just so you know you're not alone with a "bagger-scooter"... Once I got to messing with old "Minnie Mouse" I couldn't stop without adding wide-whites and fabbing up a fishtail exhaust... I even have an original 1950's illuminated swan hood ornament which will go somewhere on her one day... Old habits die hard. Especially tacky old fifties' ones... LOL!
Ride safe!
