Took off his morning early, went to Ohio, came to terms and loaded it on

traffic. Sounds great to me. I told him that Mrs Herring might ride it
and commandeer it right out from under him. He told me not to give her any ideas Lol!


Gosh, I drove a Lambretta scooter around about 60 years ago. Much
smaller engine.


And do not qualify for highway as not enough horsepower. Buddy in high
school had a 175 Vespa. Convinced the highway patrol guy that meant 17.5
HP. Required 15 for freeway travel.



The Lambretta was fine for put-putting around New Haven and environs but
not for the highway.

The Silverwing is plenty powerful enough for the highway.



Congrats on your "find". Hard to come by.

Thanks. This thing has only a bit over 1200 miles on it. The dealership did change the oil and trans
fluid while they had it. Even showed me the work order. Rode it for a couple miles up there. Great
acceleration. It takes a second for the auto trans to kick in, but once it does the thing definitely
wants to scoot. Of course, the first thing I did was pull in the rear brake lever and search with my
toe for the gear shift!
