Well “for good” ended when the price of gasoline went to $4.39 but now it is a Honda Reflex. It doesn’t roar.

Ah, so you're "that" guy. When my daughter was 5 or 6, she'd look over at a guy riding a scooter when we'd pull up next to him and say, "Ciao" in her best Italian accent, which really wasn't very good. It was funnier than hell though.

It is a scooter and doesn’t do what my Virago did 30 years ago but it will do the speed limit comfortably anywhere in the state and gets 80 mpg +or- a couple. My very first machine way back in 63 was a Vespa. In 3 decades I was all up and down the size spectrum and all different types. I rode rats. I got what was cheap and would get me up the road. I rode a CA250 Honda coast to coast and half-way back and a Victor from Texas to Spokane to Florida as well as the Al-Can ride on the CB750. I left another Victor in the water in the Everglades when it seized up and then I put my thumb out to get on up the road.
