They look like this.
Yes, that's the one, Leo. A few ornamental changes since the one I had way back in the '80s, but I think the basic design is still the same.

Thanks for the nostalgia, my friend.

Congrats on 7K Leo

Love the scooters guys!!!! The last time I cruised around on one was in Italy, now that was an experience and a half.

But environmentally friendly

Glad to see you on 2 wheels Leo....Very fun looking collection, I'm surprised to see no Bergman's or Silver Wings?? Most guys I know with scooters eventually get one of the big boys.

Thanks Justin, these are just toys.

When my leg is ready I'm going to build myself another FLSTN.

Scooters are very practical that's for sure.
They are everywhere in some asian countries like Taiwan.
With that many scooters you could start a rental company.

I personally like a little more power, hence a motorcycle.

Congrats on the 7K
