Motorcyclist may become Scooterist

Hi all,
I'm an old fogey who's been riding motorcycles for over 50 years but after chatting to a couple of maxi scooter riders on a recent tour of Eastern Europe, I'm thinking of changing to a Silverwing 600. I currently ride a V Strom 650 and a 60 year old Matchless G3. I'm going for a test ride on Thursday with Mrs D so we'll see how it goes.
Are there any regular meets in the North west?

Hello and welcome. I saw the light 4 years ago when I got a Burgman 650 and now hooked.

All scooters are motorcycles, so you've been doing it longer than you may realise.
