Open House!
« on: May 18, 2018, 10:23:44 PM »
Dealer in Memphis is holding an open house tomorrow to drag some people in! He is the closest Kymco dealer and a good guy. He is Tony Siano and his shop/store is Performance Plus+ Motorcycles. He employs a guy named Tim Adair who sparks rides with the Memphis Kings scoot club which includes chasing the Scooter Cannonball Run anually. I am gonna go, weather predicted good, got the DT300I washed and shined with over a half tank of non-ethanol! Will try to take and post pictures!

Wish we had a serious motor scooter dealer in our area. Piaggio/Vespa close their doors and the other dealers seem disinterested in motor scooters for the most part.
I hate this because I love motor scooters.
We will be watching for your pictures.

Several riders showed up. They had some pretty good eats and I saw them sell a motorcycle each to two young women. Tony is no longer the main man there since he retired to Florida last October to sit on the porch. Did not know that was even in the works. New guy is his brother Martin and a general manager from Nashville that should spark things in a down market, maybe.

Thanks for your pictures Karl.
(sometimes I don't comment on peep's pix because if I'm logged in I don't see some of them. If see a mention of pix, then I log out and then can see them)
Anyway - thanks for posting.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
