Also, I haven't discussed this with Ms Miguel yet. She has no idea I'm considering it. I don't expect pushback.

Cheers!

I just start talking about my next toy and she knows I am thinking about buying. She's speak up if there is protest, otherwise I just bring them home.

Got a little push back on my 11th grill/smoker buy, but it was a deal Need to sell one or two.
Are all divorcee's "experts" on marriage? That's an interesting concept.
My wife is good to go as long as she can buy shoes and a new frock now and then-one of the great advantages of marrying someone who had not much when younger is they appreciate "stuff". I get my zoom stuff and she gets to have a deciding opinion in car colors and interiors.
Never got into the grill mania and mine has wasp nests when I do use it. Couple times a year I use my little smoker grill with the little chimney.

Guilty as charged, now back to the BMW C 400 X/GT, etc..


The "other ongoing thread" on this scoot @ ADV/Battle Scooters(where all the scooter heathens lurk?) is now discussing fuel required and my answer there was premium.
An option is a low seat which holds interest for me as it's said to be 30".
I remain curious about tariffs on a Chinese mfg. scooter.
For an interesting and related tariff article, look at the list of tariffs around the world charged on US mfg. motorcycles. India is highest @ 100%.

Meh, don't worry about it. Part of the charm of MV is we have a tendency to go way off topic.

At this point I think we are just waiting for Miguel to get his test ride this week and report back.

I don't know if the government is smart enough to catch things manufactured in China if they come with German VINs. Chinese Fly 150s came with Itaian VIN numbers and Lance dealers proudly declare their scooters as being from Taiwan because they have Taiwan VINs. Anyone who knows, knows they were built in a China plant. Two of my Chinese bikes have numerous non compliant items that I can see yet came with DOT stickers. It took years for the Feds to discover CF Moto had bogus fuel tank setups and fined the company. My 250 Fashion vents its tank without a charcoal canister as does my Bashans.
