Couldn't resist - brought it home

Post by breaze »

Well, I had decided not to buy any more scooters for a while. Then I found myself talking to a guy in Bremen, Ga. who just happened to have a Honda in his shed. Turned out to be a 2001 Elite SA50 - less than 350 miles, original owner, had title, not running but gas tank clean and it seems to be all there with the only damage being the left rear taillight lens. He wanted 400 and I gave it to him - what can I say:
