My Lambretta Uno 150cc would run a indicated 65 mph but actual speed was 59 mph the Kymco 150 was about the same.

Well that was a number I wasn't expecting!  6+ months before they expect to get one!  Had a long chat with Karl the Sales guy and Roger the owner during which they admitted that after a 50+ year relationship with Honda they're ready to throw in the towel.  Seems they can't get anywhere near the numbers of machines they are ordering so today when I visited, the showroom was stuffed with (readily available) Royal Enfields, Benellis, Sym and Royal Alloy machines.  Have Honda lost the plot?  Shame because I really liked the look and specs on the X-ADV.

So where do I go now?  Probably back to the Kymco dealer who advised "next day delivery" for a DTX 360!  Watch this space.

At this point who ever has a scooter in stock. DAN'S Cycle is having a difficult time getting inventory and long waits on parts.  If it hadn't been for my large collection he wouldn't have had much inventory to sell.

All my scooters have sold with the exception of the 3 in parts in my garage. I still have 3 BMW'S  on consignment with him for a premium price. My Majesty sold for double suggested NADA.

Neil we've been having some extreme hot weather here as well. Like another poster said early morning rides are usually very pleasant.  One of favorite things to do in the past was to go in a early morning Sunday ride through the countryside.

A Crown Vic and a Town Car.....you purchase only from the Carrier fleet! 🙂

Your correct,  they are built on the Panther platform that was discontinued in 2011, the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Marquis and LincolnTown Car were all built on the same platform.  They have plenty of room and don't get that bad of mpg.

I couldn't afford a Bentley or Rolls-Royce, LOL.

Yesterday Dan and his wife came by with supper and picked up the last of the running motorcycles and scooters.  Difficult seeing the Majesty and BMW GS'S being loaded up. The end of a Era,  I've been riding since I was 8 years old. Difficult to admit it's over. Still have the project scooters in the garage to deal with at a later time.

Right now I'm not driving but even if I was $6. Gas would not be a deturent.   Poor farmers having to pay for Diesel right now. That price will be passed on to the consumers purchasing food in the future. 

Nice ride!
