Hello everyone,

Just thought I'd say a quick hello as a new 500 owner. Picked it up earlier today and you guys were right, I'm still smiling now!

Jody

Great time of the year to enjoy fresh air motoring and cold air provides a few extra bhp (as if you need it) and crisper throttle response. But it also means less grip, so take it easy.

You'll get great advice from the guys/gals here - always a bunch of helpful suggestions as you find your way through the learning experience.

I got my Chim exactly around this time last year - one tip I got then which I appreciated and will pass on, is to be careful when folding back the rear section on those frosty days - easy to crack/damage the plastic rear screen (bit of a giveaway that I keep mine outside - maybe yours has the benefit of a warm garage!). I just let the amazingly good heater warm the inside for a while to soften it.

Great to have you join us
