Was a lurker, now a joiner!

I've been lurking and enjoying this forum for quite some time -- finally decided I was overdue in joining it.

I've owned a 2006 Silverwing for three years, and absolutely love it. I owned a couple of different bikes back in the '70's, but dropped out until recently. I use my Silverwing mostly for enjoyment -- running errands, occasional day trips of 200-300 miles, and have taken it on one 4-day 1,250 mile trip.

I haven't done a lot of mods to my 'Wing, other than a Clearview windshield, a custom backrest, 2-way radio, a sheepskin for the seat, rear crash bars, a Givi top box, and a gps. The only maintence I've had to do (other than oil changes) in 3 years were to replace the battery, and new tires. These are great bikes.

In my spare time I have a "project bike" I'm resurrecting. I have kept a pictorial history of the project here: http://picasaweb.google.com/johnownby/ResurrectingA1972HondaSL125?feat=directlink

Hi and welcome, I too had a bit of a lay off from riding - 23 years in fact. Started again in December 03

knife141,

Welcome to the forum - as a member.

You seem to have your hands full with that little SL125. It looks pretty good after the work you've done so far.

Hi Knife141, Welcome to the forum! I just got a new 2009 Swing and the best thing about it is I spend more time riding then talking on this forum...that is the sign of a quality scooter with very little problems. Some of the minor problems I've had the folks on the forum have been great and very helpful. So enjoy and ride safe!!!

Welcome and Enjoy
