The Summer riding season has passed. Autumn is here with cooler temps and gas prices have now dipped below $3.00 a gallon. Sales of 50cc scooters seem to have stalled. The 125's and larger seem to be selling for dealers, but Trans-Am Cycle Sales in Lititz has had the same three Kymco 50cc scoots on their floor for the last month, not to mention the little Yamaha Vino they've had for two weeks (I shed a bitter tear).
Lancaster Honda has three Rucks for sale and four Mets. They've been sitting there for the last several weeks as well.
I s
topped at Miller's cycle shop today in Leola and he has some chinese scoots sitting out by the road looking for owners, not to mention a couple older mopeds and a Vino 125 sitting outside the doors to his shop.It truly seems the scooter boom has died down for this year, but this is good news. It means those looking for a 50cc scoot have a better chance of getting a bargain. The odds of getting a bargain are increased by the number of folks who, just like me, purchased a 50cc scoot and realized fairly quickly that they needed something with a bit more oomph.
So, if you're looking to get a scooter, now's a good time!

i go to Barry millers often.
has your scooter ever been in for service there?
No, I haven't. I pretty much tinker for myself and I'll take it to Trans-Am if there's anything major. Leola's a bit of a trek for me, but I was in the area visiting a friend who is recovering from a MC accident.
