Another new guy with a Skorpion

Postby Dicer » Sun Feb 22, 2015 4:20 pm

Hello all,
A new guy here in Central Florida. I just bought a one owner '95 Skorpion Tour which I'm looking forward to riding and learning more about. I've been wanting to replace my old Yamaha SR500 which was becoming difficult for me to kick over these days. Most of the bikes for sale around here are big V-twin cruisers so when this MZ showed up, I thought it would suit me much better. So far, I'm lovin' it.

Hi Chip,
I'm in Crystal River, over on the west coast but I'm a winter resident. I live in Ontario the remainder of the time. (Glad I'm not there now though...brrrr!)

Thanks Dave but just so's you know, it's not all sunshine here. Friday, we got a hard frost and now we have rain all week. Lots better than up north right now though. :cry:

Thanks but it's gone already. :smt006

And if my knees were in better shape, I'd have kept it for sure.
