Hello to all, I gave away my 2012 jonway after 2600 miles, had carb trouble, only HD would finance a new ride. A 2014 sportster, this is too heavy (600#). I'm currently looking for a lighter ride. Easy to ride in town, & do75 on highway. I'm retired now, have moved to Cleveland, Tx. I'll try to check in more often

I've had an Elio on order for 3 years, getting tired of waiting. I still have good balance & reactions at 69, Just not the strength. I have always enjoyed the ride of a 2-wheel machine, even when on 1-wheel on occasion. He, he I've always enjoyed a sleeper. But I'm looking, thanks for the thought.

I am really happy with the preformance of my Burgman 400. Will do 75 without strain, weighs about 420 # with very low center of gravity, great for around town yet good for some open road. I recently rode from Tucson to Yuma and back about 600 miles or more with side trips. Just be sure to get 2007 or later, early models used oil right from the get go. BTW I'm 75.

Traded in HD for majesty, it paid for scooter, taxes & title. With gas money for the rest of the year. The picture is not loading. Would not load in the avatar either? Looking up info on the majesty, found some Manuels posted in 2011, thank you JR.

rich46, fflintstone, crwford, skyrider Awesome ride Mr. Rich! I, myself just started riding, and what better way to start than on a small 150cc moped, right!? I'll be 25 in July but I did want to ask for a few pointers and tips about riding. The highest speed limit here in Beeville, Tx is about 45 so I won't be speeding much. I like my life and don't want to die. Ha Ha Any Advice?
