Greetings from Nova Scotia

Don't own a Silverwing just yet ... but will test a 2007 on Sunday.
Glad to find this forum.
Mike

Welcome to the forum Mike.

Hey there, Mike, I'm from N.B., practically your neighbor. Welcome: good stuff to be had here and the company is super.

Thanks for the welcome Hi Yo ! Nice to see someone else from the Atlantic Canada here cotetoi! I found the forum through a search for windshield removal. Really simple I find. If I buy the scooter Sunday I will need to store it beneath a sunroom with a space of 4 ft high. I think it will fit, without the windshierld.

Take care neighbor !
Mike

Mike,okay, I'm back from the garage. 4 ft might clear with the windshield and mirrors removed, but just barely. I would hate to try it. Now, if you move the furniture in the sunroom into the storage space.........  .

Hi Mike Nova Scotia is a lovely place almost moved there from Ireland a few years ago but it fell through stayed a week in Halifax and loved the place

Ivan

Hope you buy a SWing - you won't regret it. Just curious as to the riding season in NS? And does it vary much as to where in NS you live?

My guess is you wont take that scooter out from October to April

Hoping to hear from a NS native!

Hey Mike... Did you get that Silverwing? By chance... if you did... whas it from a guy in Port Williams near New Minas?

Oh... and Hi!

Just saw this Tim. Yes I bought it from the guy in Port Williams. But it isn't a 2007 but rather a 2005. There was supposed to be one someone where in Preston .... heard through the grapevine and Kijiji.


Diamond;
Nova Scotia riding season late April to late October but if you are tough add 3 weeks either side of this. Hope that helps. Also .... mid October is the time to ride the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton ... North - East end of NS. The colours are breathtaking.

Hi there Ivan,
I spent a week in NI in 1997. We stayed in Sheleven House in Bangor overlooking the Bangor Marina. Traveled from there to Belfast, Bush-Mills, Giant's Causway and other northern areas. Daft Eddy's was one of the coolest stops. We also spent some time in Pota-Ferry. Visited several castles as well as Carrick Fergus. Had a great lunch at The Stables near Bangor, I recall. Stopped into a posh hotel for a pint on the return from the Ulster Folk Museum and the Museum of Transportation. Now that is a cool place !! And we took in "Guys & Dolls" at The Old Opera House in Belfast waiting after the play in the Europa Hotel for out drive to Bangor for the night. Yep ... memorable trip ... several more stops too. Had the best shandy at Betty's of Arundel. It was a busy week!
Mike

Yes Mike i know all the places you mention except Bettys of Arundel.i live ten mins ride from Bangor and ive been in Daft Eddys manys a time i think Nova Scotians are very similar to Irish people very welcoming and friendly would have loved living there.

Thanks Mike!

Ivan, my error ... Arundel was part of the second week of the trip which was in England. Must check my photographs ... but Arundel may have been on the Leeds Castle day. Most Nova Scotians have an Irish heritage to some extent. 3 of my 4 grandparents came from Ireland. When we visited in '97 it was with Irish dance (ballroom) teachers who came from Bangor and moved to Canada many moons ago to start their married life here. Many great memories from that trip.
