Selling like hotcakes
« on: May 13, 2022, 11:50:12 PM »
Dan's cycle has been selling my collection at a incredibly pace. I will lose a lot of money but nothing like the beating I'm taking on the stock market.  I guess the lack of new inventory along with high fuel prices created a hot market. It sure is bittersweet seeing them go, but hopefully people will get enjoyment out of them.  It might be a few years before / if I  can ride again and I will just purchase a new scooter when/ if the time comes.

Taking my therapy 3 times a week  taking my electric wheelchair on the senior bus, has a lift.

Please get out and enjoy this beautiful weather for a nice long ride, take care.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

You make sure you keep the batteries up on that chair! Don't go too fast and don't run yer toes into anything!

Glad to hear you can get out of the house and get around. We bern stuck kinda in the house for awhile with the missus getting bunion/hammer toe surgery. I been doing the "cooking" and have lost 13 pounds! Back to you, mobility and therapy are good keys to training things  back and am so glad you are hot on the trail!

Could you make a spot in your living room for that Majesty?!
Lovely lines on that scooter!

That would be a constant reminder of not being able to ride. I made room in the living room for a Nustep  and a Confidence fitness machine. I like the new Honda 750 adventure scooter. When if / when I ride again I will probably go with a smaller scooter, probably a 150cc machine.it will have

My recovery is going pathetically slow but everyone keeps telling me I'm lucky to be alive with the type of stroke I had.  I just don't feel very fortunate. 

Let me serve as a example to get out and enjoy life we are promised nothing in this life and what we have can be taken away in a instant.

I'm great full for all the support I've received.
