| Hello, I'm Meldrew and I've just changed scoots from a 2008 Suzuki AN650 Burgman to a brand new black 2010 SilverWing. I've had the heated grips, wind deflectors, and a Givi rack fitted already, and I'll fiddle about and fit a front mudflap, Optimate leads, and seat hooks for my Airhawk seat cushion in the next few days.
I'm from Cumbria in the UK, and like a few other Brits on here I'm also a member of the Maxi-Muppets. I would have liked to have registered on here last month, but I had to wait a lot longer than expected to take delivery of the Honda. After the bulk of the big Burger, it's a bit like riding a 400 again. |

| Welcome to the forum! I would have bought a Burgman, had one come along, fitting my specifications. I sure do like my Swing and the local Honda dealer is a scooter dealer, though not "into" them, they at least know what I'm talking about. Not all Honda M/C dealers are scooter dealers. Again, Welcome! |
