It's been a while since I have own or even riding a scooter, at least 8 years. I am not getting any younger so I thought it was now or never time to get back into it. I put down a deposit for a Royal Alloy 150 (class grey) way back in April through the fine folks of Sportique Scooters in Denver. I am told that the scooter should be delivered in a couple of weeks.
Since I put down the $ I have been reconnecting with a passion that's always been there but has been ignored. The anticipation reminds me of what it was like to be a child waiting for Christmas. Part of my daily routine is to log on to the forum and see what people are doing with their scooters these days. I feel as if I am now once again a part of a wonderfully colorful cast of characters and beautiful human beings. I have always known that owning a scooter is much more than owning a machine. The connection is there, the connection is real.
Hope y'all have a wonderful week.

3 months to wait for your new bike... that would kill me.

That first ride will be so very nice!

Take it easy out there till you’re back in the groove.

Now... we expect pictures!

Super Awesome! Did you happen to talk to your dealer about when or "if" the 300 might be here? I am finding precious little about it on the interwebs.

Wow, three weeks would kill me, too. But-you-will-have-a-ball on your new ride. And it’s such a classy looker.

I was told that the 300 will be here later in the year. I feel like I need one of those!

It’s only natural. Resistance is futile.

And if you live in the NE and don't want to wait 3 months for a Royal Alloy 150 (or pay full price).

Sportique Scooters in Denver have been selling the hell out of their inventory, so Im told.
Rising gas prices and hot summer weather has people scratching for some rides.
I could have bought a bronze Royal Alloy. The color reminded me too much of my Grandmothers casket. Im looking forward to the steel grey.
