Hey PianoTunaGuy,
 
Each year, when the weather is getting better and there are no slippery
or frozen roads I
drive my Moto Guzzi, 1000 CC California 3.
It has 2 big cases on each side and taking tools with me is no problem.
 
I drive about 11.000 kilometers each season and its for me having big
fun between my tuning jobs.
Traffic jam is no problem and I don't have to pay for parking places.
Also economical with fuel. A liter fuel is in the Netherlands 1.30 euro!
As a good motor driver I wear special clothes for protection, the only
bad thing is that you have
to undress your self at each costumer................ I have no problems
with that!
 
"True, I'd look a little dweebish, but then, you don't want your piano
tuner showing up on a Harley"
 
Why not?
Many costumers from whom I think they could give me a bad feeling are
mostly very pleased to see me on my Guzzi.
 
Don't forget that it is very important to protect your ears.
Wear ear protection !
 
Many regards,
 
Edward Meijer
The Netherlands

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?
