I won't be JKJ-FZ6 anymore. You can call me JKJ-Red-Primavera. (j/k)

Congrats!

You're not gong to miss the naked bike? Or did you find you just weren't riding it?

Keeping the BV I hope?

She's pretty in red

Major enjoyment factor with these scoots, I don't think you'll regret it!

I'm keeping the BV. I have been told that if I get another scooter then I have to build a bigger garage with room for a pottery studio. It's a reasonable demand but I'm not ready to start garage remodeling yet. 8) I got lots of enjoyment out of the FZ6 but it's time to move on.

Build the pottery studio, you will be happy you did.

I understand.

I sold my motorcycle last year. Honda NC700X..

After a while I had no good reason to ride it.

Too big, bulky and very uncomfortable on the long rides I bought it for.

I still have two running Vespa GTs that I ride every day.

And I now have an XMAX for cross country jaunts.

As for expanding the garage, it sounds like a great idea.

Especially if you need more pots.

That is an awesome color!

Hopefully this one rounds out your stable nicely, but let us know how the construction project goes. Razz emoticon At least you could get by with a pottery studio....I'd have to buy and entirely new house!

Worked for me! Worth every damn cent, including all the unsold pottery setting around.

Congrats JKJ. How you splitting the 150 responsibilities between Primavera nd Zuma?

Any outdoor structures that can be re-purposed? Left side was a playhouse, is now a pottery studio, right side used to be a garden shed, is now a she-shed.

Nice! That's what she has in mind. My problem is that it would have to be on the far side of our detached garage, a long way to run all the utilities that she wants in her she-shed.

Wow...congrats, JKJ. I think the fun-factor of that Primavera will chase away any lingering doubts regarding your choice.

I saw one that color in a showroom a week ago. If it is the same color, the paint has a subtle metalflake going on as well, that doesn't show up in these photos -- quite striking.

Yeah, this is still in the showroom. I won't bring it home until the weather is decent. 8)
