Back in the late 60's I used a Honda CB100 while doing service work for =
Ludwig Music House in St. Louis.  I had a luggage rack on the back and =
was able to carry my tuning stuff and touch up tool box on it.  Worked =
OK except for rain.  It was inconvenient as soon as I had to carry =
something else.

  OK, this is a bit of a non-sequitor, but nevertheless:

  I'm considering buying a motorscooter (Like a Vespa, 150cc) to use on =
my local tuning calls.   65mpg, top speed about 60.  There is a storage =
space under the seat that would fit a rudimentary tuning kit.  Most of =
the stuff I take with me I never use anyway.  If I were efficient, I =
think I could fit everything I need in there.

  My goal would be to rack up 5.000 miles or so each summer, making my =
Jeep last longer, allowing me to get a little fresh air, and saving on =
gas all at the same time.  True, I'd look a little dweebish, but then, =
you don't want your piano tuner showing up on a Harley.  (Any =
Harley-riding tuners out there, no offense!)

  Has anybody tried this?  Anybody out there on a bike?  Any advice? =
(Like "Don't tune pianos on a rainy day.")  Whaddyathink?  Is it doable?
