That 600 scooter is really attractive. I like how he said "no lowball offers" then puts OBO on his pricing. Lol.

No, the MV is getting mor common. There is are dealers about 100 mi away for about anything I'd need. Unfortunately that's still 100 mi. But like Guzzi's they don't grow on trees like the big 4 Japanese bikes.
Anyhow just dreaming. So far....

I'm more of a wuss than you. I need a windscreen in front of me that actually screens some wind.
But, it's a nice looking bike.

Thats a nice looking bike, I've never seen a R75 set up that way.

After 6 months of recoup and replacing the lower leg forks and new rear subframe I rode my r/100gspd 100 miles yesterday. She ran straight and true, but for a cracked rear rim I thought was a badly seated bead.

Heading to SLC for the BMWMOA rally in July.

Glad to hear you're up and about OK. Is the SLC (Salt Lake City?) rally a big one?

Man I hope you have a great time and a safe ride getting there and back. Good to find the faults early. Glad it's coming together...

My wife retired a vista lappie because it was such a hog. I wonder if there weren't updates to 7 or 9 for it?

Thanks Tim, I still have some tweaking to do, and I need to replace the headlight bucket since I broke the brackets, I sourced a new dual round headlight system out of Germany thats made to fit my bike. Not cheap!
