| I have been riding Hondas since 1965-everything from a CB160 to a GW Aspencade. Never had a scooter before. I just bought a used 2007 Silver Wing. I have only had it one day, but I already love it. |

|   Welcome aboard. Northwest North Dakota. Is that like southern Canada? Could you ship me a cold front. Dennis keeps stopping them in Oklahoma. The only nice time to ride is early. Over 100 degrees for a week and no end in sight. Oh well, when I'm in shirt sleeves on Christmas, I won't complain. |

| Welcome Bugman... great looking Swing. Jeff, I think we need a "new" word to use for "used" scooter. Unless a Silverwing has been thrown down a highway at 30 MPH, they tend to look like new. Even after the highway sliding, you pick em up, crank em and drive them away.
Bugman, your scoot looks really great, you love it already. You will soon love the family here on this forum. Welcome brother.

| Pre-Owned is the expression for Second-Hand in the UK/ Used where you are.

| Gary, I think it's a result of the PC Brigade - the new owner may be the third or fourth so one mustn't say 'second' because it may mislead.
