General Discussion / Re: Hi. New Kymco owner in Deleware.

Hi there - I just bought a used grandvista 250. I live in Felton Delaware. I previously have owned motorcycles but due to a physical condition I had to get a scooter. I did have one scooter in the past a majesty 400. I am Chaplan for a motorcycle group in our chutrch called HonorBound. We have about 50 from our church that ride but get about 12 - 15 bikes out on any given ride. we have had as many as 2o bikes on a ride. I get alot of kidding about my scooter but all in good fun. I can still beat most motorcycles off the line for a short distance since I don't have to shift. I also don't have to struggle with carrying things like I did when I had my motorcycle. Anyway check us out sometime. We generally cruise around 55 or 60. We have organized rides  on the first sunday and 3rd saturday of each month, weather permitting. I do find riding the scooter much more relaxing then a motorcycle because I am not always worrying about shifting and so can concentrate on other things. Take care and feel free to contact me anytime.

Age is catching up with me. Have ridden motorcycles off and on for years. Came back to riding 3 years ago. Started out on a Suzuki c50 then went to a Yamaha Majesty 400 because I was having problems with the clutch due to hand tremors. Got on the Majesty and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was more at ease riding a scoot and not having to deal wiyth shifting and the weight of the bigger motorcycle. But as time went on gave in to peer pressure from friends and the feel of a motorcycle. Sold the majesty and got a virago 250. nice bike and alot of fun but still was not comfortable due to the worsening hand tremors. So after dumping the clutch at an intersection a couple of weeks ago decided it was time to return to a scoot and a gentler and more enjoyable ride. So this saturday I am picking up a 2009 Grandvista and am so looking forward to it. I will never go back to a motorcycle. I truly loved my previous experience with a scoot and now regret I did not stay with it. You've won me back. Will share my new enthusiam with anyone who will listen in the coming days,months and years ahead.
