An introduction of sorts

Hi Guys, I'm somewhat optimistically counting myself among your number. I have a partially disassembled silverwing that I'm hoping to get up and running. I've been seriously thinking about getting a scooter for about six months I guess and finally decided I wanted a silverwing. I was NOT planning on getting a project bike but I really enjoy fixing stuff and this scoot was dirt cheap. If I can't easily fix it up I'm planning to try and find one that's in good running shape.
Motorcycles used to be a big part of my life but it's been 25 years since my last one. I've always had a soft spot for honda but I like different brands too. My first bike was a Honda cb360 that my Dad and I pulled out of a barn and got running. My last bike was a Yamaha FJ1200. I've never owned a scooter before though, so I'm looking forward to a new experience.
I first became interested in maxiscooters after noticing a honda helix for sale a couple years ago. I fell in love with it's practical simplicity and usefulness and I was hooked on scooters!
Anyway, I hope to be riding a Silverwing soon,
Andre'

Welcome form Norfolk, VA! I'm not super savvy on these Swings but my wife has one and I've rebuilt a few things on it. Great scooters that are very reliable. Panel removal can be a little weird. I think there is a pinball arcade out by you we intend to check out. If the wife and I head out to play I'll hit ya up via PM. Meet up for lunch and talk Swing stuff like nerds!

Sounds good. It'll have to be a Saturday or Sunday but I'd enjoy that!

Welcome aboard the board André. You have to think "glass half full" in that you have a partially "assembled" not disassembled SWing. Get to know "search" and you'll have a good friend for your project.

Don't get sidetracked with that 'glass half full' or 'glass half empty stuff; what you should be asking is 'whose round is it?'
