Just got a 2006 model
. It will reside at the shop until April or so since there is no point in picking it up now. At least their garage is insulated !A little about me. I grew up in Spain and started riding a Vespino (49cc) when I was 14 and moved on from there every 2 or 3 years or so . . . Vespa, Bultaco, Cagiva and the last one was a Yamaha SRX 600. Then I met an American exchange student, sold my bike, crossed the pond, we married and here I am 18 years later.
Recently moved to a house only 4 highway-free miles from work and for the last year or so I have been scratching the 2 wheel bug again. After reading all the info out there on the Blur I decided it would be a nice way of getting back on the saddle and a fun way to commute.
Why the BLUR? I wanted bigger than 10" wheels, front and rear disc brakes, European type design, enough speed to do short highway stints and enjoy curvy roads, local dealer support, and the reviews were great. Took a while to get over the orange, but then I thought it might be an asset to improve visibility.
Now I am looking forward for the Winter to end and start riding. I noticed there are some scooter groups in the Minneapolis-St paul area so it will be fun to meet more people and go on group rides.
As far as my wife . . . nope, she does not approve of my trip 20 years back in time. Oh well, this might be part of the "for worse" for her . . . for me is part of the "for better", Ha ! I am sure I will have her come around by the time April rolls around
.See you on the road !
