Hi my name is Bruce and I am new to this site and the Piaggio family. I just got a 2007 BV 500 and it is great. I have owned a 2004 Aprilia Scarabeo 500 a 2007 Kymco People 250 and a couple of small Honda scooter as well. I just got into the scooter life a few years ago. Before that I was an older go fast biker. My last bike being a modified Yamaha V-Max. I really like the scooter I have now and I have settled down to the more relaxed scooter life. I do all my own repairs and if you live in the Tampa, Florida area I would be glad to help you out if needed as I have been repairing motorcycles and scooters for myself and other for a long time (I am not a shop or dealer).

Welcome Bruce.

Close MV-watchers may have seen his original post vanish - the original content (now edited) had unfortunately raised 'flags' among readers - now sorted.

So sorry for the bumpy start Bruce, now dive in and have fun.

Hi Bruce, welcome to MV. I've ridden the BV 500 and quite enjoyed it as you are. Here's to many happy miles with your BV.

Hi Bruce
Glad to have you aboard.
I am sure you will find loads of helpful info and friendly punters, esp as you are into your own maintenance.
Good luck
