AF1 in Austin, TX

I'd been trying to stop in @ their new shop/dealer in downtown Austin for some time now.

Wow. To be a scooter (Piaggio, Vespa, Aprilia) dealership & be amongst all the 'foot-traffic'? Especially during the work week. Not too bad a decision IMHO.

With at least one Guzzi available to DEMO, the 'new' Tuono V4 (next week?), and a copy of models of the electric motorcycle (a ZERO motorcycle dealer) available to DEMO, I'm definitely coming back w/ my gear.

Jon who used to race for them is there for sales & tech along w/ a couple of others from the Austin scooter scene. The main tech on-site came highly recommended from an aprilia expert in his own right out-of-Cali (Amauri?).

Anyhow, any Italian bike fans here...they're literally two blocks west from I-35 on Cesar Chavez.

Had them tune my DL/1000. Took it to the New Braunfels shop location. Great job! Bike runs great and no more "shudder". Very professional folks. Loved the new vintage Vespas.

I recently traded for a new Bv 350 Piaggio the first week I rode it to Hico , for pie.Today I just rode it for fun . It gets 60 to 65 mpg and it is fast enough for me. When I had my K1200GT a great bike , but the devil lived in the right twist grip and I would find myself riding way to fast. I do have my eye on am Aprilia if I can take my CFO into. So far I've created room in the garage and darn near worn the carpet and vacuum out. But I'm retired what have I got to do?
