I got my scooter... earlier this month for a couple reasons:
My first wife and I road a Honda scoot of some kind in the Cayman Islands in 1989. We rode all over that island (I think it is 40 miles all the way around) for a week. The marriage ended, but it was one of my fondest memories.
Second reason: I am a tinkerer. I have built firearms, two story sheds, rooms, wired houses, install bathrooms, built furniture, r/c airplanes, installed car clutches, rebuilt laptops, cellphones, you name it. Because a got a 2013 scooter with 300 miles .. and a helmet and cover... for $400.Apparently nothing wrong except loose steerer bearings. It is a perfect "project bike". Low cost of entry with a good chance of success. I have wanted a scooter for years and years, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to try them out.
