Riding and Release

April 10, 2006 by Scooter in the Sticks 2 Comments


I just returned from a short ride. My goal was to inspect a large rock and consider ways to move it from a farm field to our garden. The result was a relaxing ride through the local neighborhoods while the sun went down. I could tell spring was near because I could smell the scent of fresh mowed grass. Moving along the roads I could feel all the energy and activity of the day leave me. A simple gift of riding the easy ride…

    I gotta get me a scooter and just go tooling around. There more I read about you guys the more appealing that seems!

    They are nice little machines — solid, nimble, reliable, and inexpensive to operate. But I can feel the pull of the open road where I don’t have a lot of time to meander through the countryside to get somewhere I want to be and would need to ride the Interstate.

    And add to that the touring about on fire roads and such and the Vespa might not be the one.

    That said, damn the scooter is fun to ride. Just got home from a nice commute from work. Fun fun fun.
