| My name is Greg McCormick I am a Locksmith by trade. I used to ride scooters when I was 18 but stopped riding them in 1994.I have not been on one in 19 years.I just purchased a 2012 Honda Silver Wing feels strange.I am still trying to get my bike legs back. lol There are a lot mountain roads up so I will be having some fun. I am glad to have found this forum as I am looking forward to meeting scooter owners like myself.
Thanks Greg |

| Welcome Greg, I, like you had ridden motorcycles for 20+ years and then got the scooter itch. At the same time, I wanted to get a motorcycle so I read Proficient Motorcycling by Peter Egan, and found out about CounterSteering and that led to taking the MSF course and those 2 things will make your riding again a lot Safer and more satisfying for you, your passenger, and fellow motorists... best to you with your new to you Swing... billc. |

| Hi Greg, Welcome aboard. Back in the early 60's, in winter, my family use to go on day sledding and toboggan trips to Frasier Park. You live in a beautiful part of S.Cal. I always had a great time in your neck of the woods when I was a kid. Again, welcome |
