Hopefully our 05/B-650 will arrive within a couple weeks. Wife, Carolyn, and I are really excited. Last time I rode a scooter was on a Cushman in the mid 40's. Started riding motorcycles in the late 40's. Since then have riden, raced dirt, motorcross, cross country, competed on trial bikes and raced insanely at crazy lean angles around road courses on my personally modified race bikes. Do all my own work in my private shop. Total riding years around 57. Quit roadcourses two years ago while 70 yrs. due severe back problems that really slowed me down. Continued limited riding till recently when I had major back surgery. Have sold my motorcycles and now excited about the scooter. We are so looking forward to some peaceful touring and the many nice advantages of the Burgman. Finding this site was a wonderful experience and I have spent part of two days reading everything I could find here. Having been active on many forums I am truly impressed with this excellent forum and the interesting and very knowledgeable members. I'll try to be a productive member. At 72 am I the oldest member? Gee...sure hope so. Carolyn is a young trophy wife of only 69.
