Bought a blue 2018 Like 150i there today.  The owner Peter is a very nice guy and took the time to show me all the various Taiwanese scooters that met my criteria.  He carries Kymco, Sym, Genuine, and Lance plus a bunch of PRC scooters that I didn't look at.  Quite a few models in stock and he can order anything available from that manufacturer's US distributor, most of whom are in LA, so turnaround is only a couple days.

Good to hear they're open.
I don't get over to that side of the valley often, so I'm glad you posted.

So the Vespa was abandoned at her wreck site?
Stig

Yes it was abandoned at the wreck site, for a short while.
Some friends she made up in Alaska were advised of her accident and saw to it that the vespa was picked up and  transported to Anchorage Alaska. 
From there, thanks to a GO FUND ME PAGE

 Stephanie was able to U-SHIP her Vespa back to Massachusetts for repairs.

We talked a couple of times then the guy disappeared. No opportunity to meet. Not sure what happened.

Strange,  MJR is still active on Burgmanusa forum.   

Here in Vegas, the local Kymco dealer closes about a year and a half ago. I still have my bike. However, it was the new law that forced them to go out of business. For basic work, I have a local scooter shop I take to in Downtown Vegas. The husband and wife team who own the shop are honest people.  There are not as many scooters here as there used to be because of the new law. The new requires all 50cc scooters to be registered and insured. Now many customers they should just buy a motorcycle instead of a scooter.

Las Vegas scooter law passed in 2015 SB404 inacted Nov. 2016 Does NOT require insurance
You must have a Driver's License or Driver Authorization Card (any class) to operate a moped on public streets.
Moped owners must obtain a moped license plate and pay one-time registration fees to help combat moped theft in Nevada.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 26, 2016
MOPED REGISTRATION IN NEVADA BEGINS NOVEMBER 1
Registration and license plates will help combat theft

Moped Laws at a Glance
Vehicle registration and a license plate are required in Nevada.
Owners must register their vehicle one time only. The registration will remain valid as long as the owner retains the vehicle. Annual renewal is not required.
You must hold a driver’s license (any class) to operate a moped on public streets.  A Class M motorcycle license is not required.
Helmet use is not required
Liability insurance is not required
Riders must ride in the extreme right-hand lane of a multi-lane road unless preparing to make a left turn, it is unsafe to do so or if otherwise directed by a police officer.
Moped dealers and rental companies must obtain a DMV business license. See Occupational and Business Licensing.. This and the fact that if they ran a repair shop, that had to be Licensed too is what forced a lot of small shops to close.
Definition
“Moped” means a motor-driven scooter, motor-driven cycle or similar vehicle that is propelled by a small engine which produces not more than 2 gross brake horsepower, has a displacement of not more than 50 cubic centimeters or produces not more than 1500 watts final output, and is capable of a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on a flat surface with not more than 1 percent grade in any direction when the motor is engaged. (NRS 482.069)

Took our dog to into town yesterday 12/30/17 and we stopped at the park.  We were there about 20 minutes when what did I hear,  an ice cream truck and 7 or 8 people were lining to up buy ice cream outdoors end of December in Las Vegas.

I am really pleased to hear the Memphis Belle is now in a museum worthy of her history. She spent many years in Memphis deteriorating while all the societal climbers used her for their ladder to local prominence. Much like the Spruce Goose going to McMinnville, OR to the Evergreen Museum saved that one of a kind from the chainsaw. Both now are in a safe place to be admired for their history. I have been to Oregon. Dayton is next! Thanks, Stig!

Sorry Karl,
I think we owe THANKS to Memphis. 
Regardless of how she was stored, we still have her around to restore.
Without Memphis stepping up and taking possession the "Memphis Belle" in 1946 she would have been chopped up...
From Wikipedia, Display in Memphis.
After the war, the Memphis Belle was saved from reclamation at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma where she had been consigned since 1 August 1945, by the efforts of the mayor of Memphis, Walter Chandler, and the city bought the B-17 for $350. (That would be $4,642.92 today (2017)). She was flown to Memphis in July 1946 and stored until the summer of 1949 when she was placed on display at the National Guard armory near the city's fairgrounds.
It would have been great to have nice pristine building to store her in.  I'm sure in 1946 in Memphis Tenn. discretionary funds weren't just lying around. Memphis took the first step, saving The Memphis Belle....now she's restored.

Don't come down too hard Memphis.
Which one would have been the better alternative, having the plane, even in bad condition OR just the memories of her?

Bump
Starting to worry too.
Does anyone have MJR's phone number?

The thirteen mile ride i..........
.........You should post pictures of Mount Charleston and the Bowl of Fire at Lake Mead. Even Hamlin Peek has great views of the Vegas Valley.

David, I have been here almost 25 years, I have never heard of the Bowl of Fire at Lake Mead  

I'm going to The Valley of Fire tomorrow because it is FREE Sat Sep. 30, 2017
