I am a long time married, life long rider who has aged away from MC's and toward scooters after many years of riding various brands. I'm very familiar with BMW bikes (still own vintage) after near 20 years of them but currently riding a 300 Vespa as my main ride.
I have particular interest in the new 2018 BMW C 400X mid-size scooter given my short legs & arms. I am a former pro-wrencher (helos, BMW cars, industry, military trucks,etc. and my own bikes) retired from tech and public educator, had 5 careers, been around the block, widely traveled and still enjoying an active lifestyle and hoping to ride much longer!
I perform my own maintenance & repairs in my own shop.
I'm going to make some calls toward a test ride of this new scoot to size it up. Many BMW Motorrad dealers don't keep scoots on their floor so I hear. My nearest dealer is 135k away and a few others are near our kids. I've done many fly & rides so my search windows fairly large but still, a test rides got to come first. Very little web information on this new scoot even on this forum!
I look forward to meeting new people here and leaning what I can. I'm often found on Modern Vespa and a regular on ADV too.
Again, hello from eastern KY (I'm really a Kansas boy at heart)
