My New Ride

I have been looking for a second scooter for a bit now.

Last week one came up in St. Louis that was really to good to be true.

2005 Burgman 650 with 5,700 miles for $2,750.

He also was throwing in 4 helmets (Nolan N102 NCom never worn, AGV Migilia Modular never worn, Bell Mag 8 OPen Face and and HJC CL-31), Givi E45 with back rest, Set Up leather boots, Fox Creek leather gloves, Repair Manual,First Gear jacket and a Givi windscreen.

One of the guys from the scooter club went down with me this morning, Jerry. Jerry owns a 650 so was perfect for him to come with me.

I loved it first second I saw it, as it has been painted black. Pictures I first saw were a tad matted looking but in person it looks really nice. Additionally Jerry said we could do something to give it a more umm what's the word.. shiny look.

Only thing I dislike is the new Burgman 650 decal the guy put on it.. easy fix...

Why so cheap? He bought it over his wifes objection and he said it was time for it to go.

He knows he could sell it for more but he did not want the hassle of people in and out looking at it. He was offering to people in our Scooter Club first before raising the price and advertising elsewhere.

Jerry said it rode perfect. I did ride it.. yikes it is bigger than mine :)

I am leaving it at Eric's house this week. Pete is out of town so once he gets back we will go down and get it. But I am going to feel more comfortable with Pete getting it home first then me learning to ride the bigger scooter.

Gee now to come up with a new name..

New ride! yeah! And you will look big on it and Pete will stop "bullying" you. Can i suggest a name for you? Sounds creepy but i think Scoocat.... Why scoocat? because you keep on bumping onto cats any time you are riding your scooter! So you can call this, Scoocat. All the best with your new ride.
