Well, it's been a while since I posted. Here are some pics of my main squeeze and the other mistresses during last Thanksgiving ride through south and central Florida... http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AbNmTlu2ZN2bmwhttp://share.shutterfly.com/share/receiv...0AbNmTlu2ZN2bk4...and my restored 1960 NSU Prima III. I had this ride since I was 20. BTW the scooter is older than I am. Shot these at a recent mods vs rockers bike show.

Wow, Harry! Gotta say I don't recall EVER seein' a scooter as beautiful as yours there!!!  Bet this particular "mistress"(...or is she the "main squeeze"?) has won ya a few trophies over the years, eh?!
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thanks, Dwight! No trophies so far  , but I'll have another event to go to in January here in Dania Beach . I sure get a lot of comments, though.

Beautiful scooter you have there... I would love to see that in person. Btw... from what I could see your Trumpet looks very nice too!
Live to love, love to live.

Nice scoot Harry. I was able to correct the links to the photobucket photos. I cannot do so for the firefly images however. There should be a way for you to be able to obtain an image link from the firefly website when you are logged on, not just a url hotlink.

you have the blue bike market covered. nice work.
i rode a scotter once and when i pulled in the clutch the rear tire locked up. so i figured to be safe i would stick my speedy.
If it isn't broke, I haven't messed with it.

Seems like Shutterfly does not have that option, but I think I got it now.

Had a Lambretta GP 200 from the 1980's a few years back (it was a bag of nails but I loved it). Your Scooter looks amazing.

The scooter is cool but that America is pretty darn sharp also.  I really like the saddle bags. What brand are they?

Yeah, and the rails on 'em really add a nice touch there! I don't think I've seen anyone else around here have those(at least those particular ones) on their hard bags.

how in the heck do you keep the running boards so WHITE on your Prima? The more I look at it, the more beautiful it is. I bet its stunning in person.

Thanks for all your kind comments.
I found "goof-off" works well on white rubber.
The TBA got the Tsukayu "Strong" vinyl covered hardbags and guard rails. I don't think Brad or Fasteddy carry the rails, so you'll have to get them from Tsukayu direct.

With nobody else getting in my way while I'm on the road...about 50mph.

Ever consider getting the luggage racks for the tops of the Tsukayu bags? Nah, me either...

I agree with him...
Also will you be attending Amerivespa in New Orleans this coming June. Lots of vintage and modern scooters will be there.

My first bike was a red prima - 1956 maybe. This would have been 1966 or so. I drove the heck out of that thing and learned many of my bad habits on it.
