Um, aren't chinese scooters UNDER 50cc DESIGNED to get no respect? Isn't it by DEFINITION not a licensed vehicle when under 50cc? <BR>
<BR>
Regarding the vintage bikes, Ian over at Georgia Cycle Depot will tell you about taking a restored Norton to Daytona bike week and getting treated like royalty. However, he will also tell you how unreliable many of those bikes were even when brand new. I'm thinking the vintage Hondas (boy is there an oxymoron) were more reliable. <BR>
<BR>
Best wishes, good hunting, and safe riding to Richard. Please pay attention to age of tires, no matter how little the wear. I dunno regarding bikes, but with motorhomes the rule is you replace around 7 years no matter how much tread is left. <BR>

They're a good bunch and mostly really laid back. I have seen real scooters (<100cc) show up and they don't hassle (much :-). The old Vespas get some respect. The newer Chinese 49cc scooters get none.<BR>

Jim,<BR>
I went to Twain's last night. Pretty cool joint. Thanks for the lead.<BR>
I met a lot of guys. I learned a little bit about bikes and how to<BR>
choose the one I want. Most importantly I saw a few guys riding<BR>
vintange beaters and treating it just the way I intended to do. They<BR>
all had the, "It's not pretty, it's not big, and that's the way I like<BR>
it" attitude. Even better was that everyone else there would show them<BR>
a lot of respect and compare them to bikes they used to have and wish<BR>
they never got rid of. So that's great. I was a little worried about<BR>
getting, "don't bring your moped around here" attitude if I got the<BR>
kind of bike I've been looking for. Now I'm confident that won't<BR>
happen.<BR>
<BR>
Now I'm off to find the perfect Honda CB500 or similar.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again, Jim.<BR>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.<BR>
