New old guy from Ohio

Postby gkgeiger » Mon Mar 26, 2012 7:06 07

Hi,
Just bought a new 400 and will be looking for help with questions. I've been riding for over fifty years and currently own a BMW 1200RT, Tiger 800, and a DRZ400. I'm excited about my new scooter. I will pick it up some time this week. The 80deg weather we've been having has left us. Going into the 20's tonight.

I just updated my profile, and I live in Akron. I do hope to hear from other riders. The Burg will be my new everyday ride.

Yah, that place is legendary around here. I haven't been there in years but I still go to Angie's in Barberton. I went there for the first time in the 60's.

Hey Gene,

Memorial weekend has the Ice Cream Festival going on which would make a nice ride from Akrom down to Utica.
Nice flea market with home made Velvet ice cream :-D

I think Saturday that weekend is set aside for a motorcycle show/competition that's pretty neat to see. 8)

The wife and I haven't discussed the holiday yet but I'll keep it in mind. If we go I'll let you know ahead of time.

We usually try for a Saturday visit, but have been known to make our way there on either Sunday or Monday as well.
I believe that Sunday are the classic & antique car show!

Greetings and welcome. I hope you find your Burgman to be the perfect ride. For your information, there is a group of scooter riders called the "ACW Scooter Club" mostly from Akron, Canton, and Wooster. We just had a meeting today in Wadsworth. We gather monthly, at different locations, and plan rides and other organizational things to improve the club. You would be very welcome to join us. We can be found on our web site at "http://www.meetup.com/A-C-W-Scooter-Riders".

Whatever you choose, please be safe and enjoy that new scoot.
