Letter to Santa
Big Guy, Small Scooter &bull Dec 15, 2011
Please, dear Santa, bring me a big bag of money to pay for all of my vehicle repair bills. That would be really nice so that my wife isn't bugging me about the great 'deal' I got on my GTS. It's a real sad story, St. You… Full Story »

A Stinking Good Deal or Just a Stinker?

Worth a look, maybe you could get a mechanical inspection. Looks in pretty good shape, if you can test drive it too would be awesome. I bought my scoot off of used Victoria and it was awesome. Christmas is coming up & I… Full Story »

Searching for THE scooter...
Big Guy, Small Scooter &bull Nov 11, 2011
Dave:I would get a highway capable machine, so that leaves you with the GTS250ie, or the Burgman. The size of the Vespa GTS is more in your comfort range due to lower weight but you can tour with the Burgman.… Full Story »
