I blame cookees .........
 

When I responded to this thread the Cali Classic wasn't on my radar. Good looks but retro is not my style.

Then while I was looking for a scoot for up in NJ I test rode one and decided to break out of my " normal rut" and go for something different. For my use it will be great , low to the ground and a certain "cool factor". I've been on big wheel scoots as of late so this will be different, flat footed landings.

Here she is in the color and dress I bought.

She comes home Tuesday.

Hey cookees this dealer owes you a "Bird Dog" on this one !

Al, Very nice !! & Congrats on the new ride. :tup: . :cheers:

Thanks brother.
I've been going thru scooter withdrawal up here. I didn't relize how much I rode until there was no bike to ride!

Very nice! I am not much into the retro scoots... But that one has more of a Honda cub retro style as opposed to an Italian retro feel... I kinda like that!

Enjoy it!

Yeah it kinda grew on me as I've never been retro. I like that I was able to get the feet a bit more foward on it.
But I think it's the "naked bars" that got to me !

Sweet little ride. (Looks good enough to go with a glass of milk) Sic Friatur Crustum Dulce....The way the Latin "Cookee" crumbles.

Hey Al, Today is the NEW scooter day. :clap: . :s . :yay: . :cheers:

Weather.........
Not a fan of new bike and monsoon. I've never minded the rain but heavy rain and unfamiliar bike may not be the best choice.

Bummer !

I like that a lot, congrats Alan! :tup:

I rode a Cali today on the lunch run... damm that thing is sweet.

The thing that really impressed me was the comfortable seat... great for us guys with boney-butts. And since the Havana is the same scoot from the neck down...it too has a great ride.

I like that scooter a lot. I have a similar retro but it has a covered handle bar and I wish I had got one like this one with the chrome handle bar. Mine is the one that has the diagonal chrome bar on the engine housing. I ride mine every day to go eat lunch (my breakfast) with my friends. My ideal would be an retro design, flat floor, 200cc aircooled engine possibly a bit more. some thing you could run 55 with out going wot and hit 65 for a short burst. A short wheel base and smallish wheels (12"s) gives quick handling and I like that, makes it fun to ride. john

Hi Alan
Outstanding
Congratulations
May she bring you much joy in the years to come
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

Another attempt to get her home on Friday.

Like I said its a different scoot then I normaly go for. Yep the seat is soft and low and she'll have an easy life as a local beach cruiser. Odds of seeing a road posted faste than 50 mph will be rare.
