General Discussion / Re: shipping a scooter - advice ?
« on: August 17, 2017, 05:06:32 AM »
I'm the buyer. Bike arrived today via http://1aamotorcycles.com/, who had the best quote. I bit my tongue with all the comments here about what kind of scam I must be pulling, but held off responding until everything buttoned up. Stig's bike was by far the best condition, low mileage AN400 I could find at a good price, low enough to offset the shipping cost. I felt comfortable buying sight unseen because of Stig's above-board public profile and reputation as very diligent about maintenance, much of the service history documented in another forum. That's worth a lot to me for my first motor vehicle at age 51 (I'm a bicycle guy).
I picked it up at the freight terminal and rode it 70 miles in rush hour traffic to a campsite where I'm currently hanging in my hammock admiring the milky way. First ride on any motorized 2-wheeler! The wind buffeting at highway speed was a bit scary, but i'll learn. Twisties fun! I let tailgaters pass because taking it slow until I'm more skilled. It's been a pleasure. Thanks Stig!
