Well, it is done...... Just ordered with Steve at GS. I am getting the Milano 150 in Cherry Red. I have been flipping between pictures of silver and red since I got up this morning. My son has been laughing at me, all he can hear in the kitchen is " red? silver? red? silver?" But it is a done thing now. Looking forward to doing the PDI and getting to know my scoot. Got to get the daughter a helmet ordered. Better let her pick it out, 9 year olds are SOOOOO picky! Call the insurance agent etc etc etc. Kind of funny, I spent more time researching this scoot than I did my new washer and dryer, and they were 3 times as much! But then I am trusting my life to it and my driving skills. Can't be too careful!

Sweeeeeet! Steve and John @ GSMW will bend over backwards to make the purchase and ownership, warranty issues, everything work out as smooth as glass to YOUR satisfaction.
Good selection of scoot too.
KZ1000st has one, great guy to talk with about GSMW too. If you call John at GS, tell him kliff said howdy.

I will do that, thanks Kliff for the words of encouragement. I am a basket case! I am so excited..... so emotional! I did tell Steve that the Rebels sent me over. If it would not have been for all the information and postive experiences about scooting in general, I probably would have kept putting it off yet again another summer. Silly me! I can't wait for those summer evening rides when it is so hot you can't stand to be cooped up in the A/C any longer. I hate that! Plus looking forward to going out with NaTasha, she is excited too! Thanks again Kliff!

Cool! You will really enjoy riding around as the weather warms up. Red is a great color. Will be seen much easier. Mine is silver, which kind of blends into the background, and isn't easily seen at any distance, but I consider it an open canvas, so I'll take a little artistic license with it. ;D

Red is the fastest color you know. Watch out for these with Barner heads.

Are they marked? How can I tell? My scoot hasn't even arrived yet and I am worrying already! Are you happy with yours? I wonder if Steve at GS can tell me. Thanks for the heads up.

Now, isn't this the one that the 50cc motors were actually 70cc from the factory, or was that another scooter.

Nope, mine's a 150 with a head reworked by kliff. New springs, a little port work in the exhaust and a magical chant to make it last. The scooter runs better than new since I put it in.

Yea! Got an email from GS, my scoot is on it's way. I bet they lose money on my shipping. My city is on the way to nowhere! I bet they have to bring it from Minneapolis or Omaha. No tracking information yet, I just got the email about an hour ago. Snow is not melting quick enough up here!

No worse than me. You've heard of the "Middle of Nowhere"? I live on the edges of that Town.

I went through there once! I waved HI and you waved back remember? Where are you anyway I am in South Dakota, of our 54" of snow we have about 18" left. The mud is horrible out back, can't even get my car to the driveway out back. Will have the delivery guy put the scoot in my neighbor Bill's garage, heated, three stall.... great place to work. I think Neighbor Bill is excited to work on the new scoot too. Hopefully the lake between my house and Bill's will go down a bit by then.
