I liked a lot of things about this scooter.
Glad I had the experience!
Genuine 'made-in-Japan' bike.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

My daughter (ol' #2) has the Burgman in her garden shed. She cleaned it up and it looks pretty nice!
She said I can come by and ride it whenever........

I think not. I only comfortably rode my Burgman prior to sun-rise. 11 yrs experience of work commuting on a scooter (LIKE200i, Forza, Burgman) in this town soured me on riding any other time of day!

Maybe a therapist could explain why I prefer to ride in the dark, in the rain, through deer country - before breakfast - rather than joust with F-150's at 2PM?

In the 1960's and 70's it didn't bother me.

And Joe - is still living with his lovely old red Reflex. He complains about Dino's small price increase, too - but he hasn't quit him either!

sometimes he rides his German 'scooter'.



I tell you - when I walk in there, smell the fresh coffee - and am greeted by a grumpy gang of old peers - it is heart-warming.
I had a 2 week gap - and the next visit made the mistake of describing my order to Dino.
"Large please, with light cream."
He was already picking up a large cup.....glared at me, (Dino does and paint withering glare), and scowled, "'like I don't know?!"

I nearly teared up.
