Learning the hard way but having fun doing it

[Mikestib1]

I live in a small city where mopeds and scooters are the way to go. I like CVT transmissions because I don't feel lie shifting 3 times between stop signs. Bought a Bintelli 50 gy6?as it was reasonable and there was a local dealer. Way too slow on hills. Had a 72cc kit installed and while better. As I have a motorcycle license, I'm not limited. So I tried two Wolf 150 cc scooters bought locally but the quality was not what I wanted. So I decided to buy an Adly Bullseye 2t after I road tested a Genuine Buddy 50. Bought the Adlly for $1599 vs )1999 for the Buddy. Anyhow sold the Adly yesterday and bought a leftover Buddy 170i for a good price. Took a long time to figure it out, but a lot of people in town got good deals on the scooters they bought from me. I'm 67 years old and been riding motorcycles and scooters for 51 years. From BSA, Ducati,moto Guzzi, all Japanese brands plus a Sportster and a Superglide. Once I got over the need for top speed and didn't have to commute to work on interstates I'm happy with the scooter and my Yamaha R3..., OK at least for now

I think I would be happy with a scoot and an R3 as well. I just commute and run errands.

I'm on my 170i more than the motorcycle these days. So much easier to get in & out of my cluttered garage & past the cars in the driveway. Riding motorcycles since 1973 but if I'm not on the highway I'm usually on the scooter.
