The 125cc DTX360 is sold alongside my 320cc DTX360 here, price differential is £2,750 vs £4,500.

That 125 Kymco , in the UK, looks to be about $300 to $400 more than a new Piaggio Liberty ABS with the 155cc engine.
Last count - Piaggio had built over 900,000 Liberty's in the same basic configuration.

In Vietnam, 1960's, they fashioned 2 bedroom homes out of flattened COKE and Budweiser cans.
Probably tourist attractions these days.... "COKE Suites by Marriott".

Buddy in Yellow Springs offered me his nice old 'proper-red-HONDA'. and I have to turn it down.
No room for it - as my wife frowns on scooters in the living room - even red Hondas!

Buddy has aged out of 2 wheelers - is keeping his 1951 BMW w/Sidecar.




Mine's the red one. Joe's is the other.


Seriously - if anyone would like to make an offer, please LMK, it is leaving soonest if Joe can swing it. (offering it to dealers, etc.)
He pd $3K many years and 20K miles ago.

A couple of years ago I paid forty seven cents ($.47)  for a gallon of gas..... with my dollar a gallon discount from my grocery store!
I don't much trust the gas, so I only use it in my truck, which depending on gas prices can cost me nearly a hundred dollars to fill the tank.

I remember the shell station in Massachusetts. If you bought three dollars worth of gas, you got a free car wash. I had to drive my beetle in there on fumes, in order to get that car wash!

It had been a while since I'd started up the LIKE200i (built 2012, 20K miles) - and after the fuel pump finished its meow - I touched the starter button and the scooter fired instantaneously!~ (LIKE200i owners know what I'm talking about!)

No issues with the front brake following my amateur refurb.
Scooter ran like a Chinese swiss watch!





Hotel put the tables back out after our wild winter. Umbrellas coming soon I hope.






Yellow Springs anecdote
I was in YS a few days ago, on a rare solo mid-day visit. Picked up my coffee and had a seat on a bench in front of the bookstore - people watching. (saw Chappelle get in his GWagon and drive away)
 Bit rough looking guy approached me and asked for "a couple of dollars". I stood up and dug out my wallet as we partially blocked the sidewalk for a handful of strollers. They spectated as I gave him a couple of dollars. He took it, turned and walked away - .... I tossed a fairly quiet "you're welcome" his way. Folks shook their heads - I shrugged and went back to work keeping an eye on things.

no, the photographer hasn't had his coffee yet

Here in Italy we do have a little bit raised fuel price too.
 Diesel  up to € 2.20/ ltr and Benzina  around € 1.80/ltr.
We are used to high fuelprices here, so not that much of surprise. Not a huge prob for me as an individual driver, but for people who HAVE to use their car/ moto its getting pricey.

$3.20 today at BP.... down from $3.99 a few days ago.

Key on - pull brake lever - tail light on ??
