Just a bad stretch of weather.

bill: I’m sure you’re right. Commuting isn’t commuting on two wheels. It’s fun. And I get to do it everyday when the weather is good.

doug: I gather ideas and scribble them down on scraps of paper but when I need them I can’t find the papers… You’re right though, it makes sense to stockpile.

hrw115: I think I’ll pass on the keying. I’m getting over the preciousness of the new scooter as it gets dirtier. And I am getting more comfortable handling it too.

Monica: I try to remain honest about the risks posed in riding. In snow I only will ride if I don’t have to compete with cars and trucks. That means routes confined to seldom traveled back roads where I can manuver along at my own pace.

Gary: I still sense the difference but the more I ride the bigger GTS the more I realize that it has opened some new doors. The smaller scooter was really nice though. It seemed as if you had absolute control over it.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Ride well,

Your personal safety is SO much more important than riding your scooter in risky weather. There are many scootering days ahead!

Do you not feel safe driving the scooter in this weather because it has more power and handles differently? Or do you worry about messing the scooter up, getting it dirty, etc.? If you are worried about the last item – I will happily volunteer to come over and key the scooter for you so that you can just get it over with!

Anyone who writes runs out of ideas and inspiration sometimes. I’ve gotten into the habit of “stockpiling” a few ideas and stories for those cold winter days (here in Arizona…) when I feel like I need to make a blog entry but don’t have anything current and “amazing” on my mind that week. It’s not always wonderful stuff but it buys you some time until the inspiration fairy taps you with the magic wand again.

Congrats on the new scooter, by the way. I still think you should have gone for the Triumph Scramble but then I don’t have to live with the payments.

Doug

Have fun,
Bill
