Look at my latest blog, I’m feeling your pain. We have great weather now but I can’t ride my Vespa 🙁
But your situation is worse, as you have an injured scoot! So what to do what to do?? Wish I could offer some words of wisdom, but I’m not that wise.
Kim seems to be a pretty wise woman, what does she think? Follow her advice and your heart and I’m sure you’ll come up with the solution.
Good Luck!

I very recently discovered your wonderful blog while searching for fuel tap info for my Vespa P125X.

Right now I am savoring the reading of your “back issues”. What a delight!

I look forward to you resuming “riding and writing”.

Jef

Even though its only been a couple weeks I feel as if I haven’t been on the road in a long time. I too am looking forward to those bugs on the face shield. With the winter we’re having there are plenty around!

bill: Depending on the day the projection time ranges from a couple days to a couple months. I feel as if I am zeroing in on a solution but who knows.

You’re right, “Pickup in the Sticks” is pretty lame.

Michael: The GTS is a fine looking machine. I have only ridden one briefly. Does yours suffer the deceleration wobble that I have read about? And if it does is it tolerable? A GTS is on the list of options.

Keep cogitating – but get a move on!

You know, I’ll read anything that you post, although “Pickup in the Sticks” doesn’t quite have the right ring to it.

Keep on pressing Steve, I’m hoping that you’re up and running soon.

Have fun,
Bill

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog for a few months now. I’ve been amazed at times when you were out riding when I was driving because of the rain here. It is pouring down right now. Cold and dry is fine with me but rain means four wheels for me.

I look forward to reading that you are on the road again with bugs on your face shield.
Cheers,
Art
