I quietly passed a milestone this past week. So quiet I forgot until two days later. On July 30, 2008 I received my Eagle (Bashan) Milano 150 from GS Motorworks. We checked and assembled the scooter for three days and it hit the road on August 1st.
It sits in the garage these days with 9,800 miles on the clock a victim of my oversize fleet occupying my time. It starts, it runs great and deserves more attention than it gets. Even still, for a scooter that was supposedly built during the "Bad Old Days" it still does the job. It was the vehicle that launched my late wife and my noisy daughter onto motorcycles.
It needs a new rear tire to pass inspection but darn, it starts every time I hit the button.

Not bad for a scoot that cost you way under a grand.

Come on.... slap a new sneaker on it, and give it some exercise. Mine's not 10 yet, but I'm in the middle of its seventh riding season. The guys at my morning coffee joint always chuckle when I pull in on the scoot, and usually make some sort of wise crack....I just smile and say, can you drive your car all week on $3.50 worth of gas? Although I do enjoy the power, and smoother ride of my larger machines..... there is something about riding the scooter, that I really miss when it sits unused for 3 or 4 days. Can't picture myself ever giving up the scoot.
Get yours out and ride it.
