|  Hi, I bought my 2006 Silverwing in August and have put over 500 miles on it. I have only been riding for a little over 2 years and started on a 1981 Honda Express SR (49cc). Last year it wouldn't start (no compression) and I upgraded to a 2008 Yamaha Vino 125. This year I decided to move up and bought the Silverwing. After getting used to the size & weight difference, I have been riding it exclusively. I have been enjoying it mainly in town but have taken it on a short poker run (about 50 miles) around town. I plan on taking a road trip to the west coast next summer and am really looking forward to the adventure!  Adrienne |

| Welcome Adrienne.
The Silverwing is a lovely scooter for touring, though it has one downside: you never want to get off of it ;-)
I bought mine last September and have done over 2000 km already (1250 miles) |

| Thank you for all your welcomes! I haven't had a chance to get back on the forum to tell you I appreciated the warm welcome. I had a screw in my back tire so ended up replacing it. I could have ridden it one more week if that hadn't happened! |

| I am in Billings. Got to ride my S'wing 2 days last week as we have no snow. A bit chilly in the morning and gusty winds during the day but that didn't stop me!  |

| Hey there fellow SWinger
I just relocated to S Florida after 38 years in Montana. Still go back and forth.
I'm tellin ya....wish I had my bike in Montana. I'da been doing the Fire & Ice tour - and I highly recommend it!
Fire & Ice = Yellowstone and Glacier.
The only way to see the parks is on a bike.
Can't encourage you strongly enough to give her a run. Carefull in Jellystone though - those Bison can be cantankerous! You could outrun em though.....
Have FUN! |

| Back in Montana myself for a few weeks. I'm about 350 miles North of you.
If you putt this way at all - give a holler and look me up!
Helena/Lincoln/Missoula area is where I'm at.
Watch for the dang deer though! They can pile up a rider and hurt you BAD. Don't fall for the deer whistles or flashing your lights.....use your horn. Startle response works better - and they usually run to get away, rather than jumping in front of you.

| MamaConnect - Helena/Lincoln/Missoula is more northwest! I was thinking you were by the Canadian border at first. Weather isn't good enough for a weekend road trip yet or I might have taken you up on it!
Dennis - got the GPS mount on and it looks great. Now to work on the wiring! |
