I’m a little late, but congratulations and well deserved. I may not comment all the time, but you are one of the few riding blogs that I keep in my feed reader. Keep up the great work and keep that shutter going.

My “fancy scooter” has been doing just fine thank you very much:)
Of course I clean it alot, but I’ve alway gotton enjoyment out of keeping things I like nice and purty! Though I’ll admit the chrome wheels and the white walls are a major PITA, but well worth it from the attention they garnish!

It’s kinda’ neat to see how “way leads to way” and know how a blog came about. Great post!

There were three of you in our neighborhood when I moved in, and I watched and paid attention to your styles and presentation before I set up shop with my own little site. As our neighborhood grows and changes, I still look to you guys for the same reasons as when I started.

Thanks Steve.

Have fun,
Bill

Paul: That picture is classic Ruby!

doug: When I get the chance to ride west for a long trip I will make sure to look you up. Thanks again for the inspiration you've provided.

cody: I've learned over the years that while an individual may receive accolades there are usually a who lot of people who are involved. The blog award is no different.

How are things going with your fancy scooter? I would be afraid I would make a mess of it, especially those tires!

Dan: All I can do is say thank you. Because of the things I read on your blog I feel comfortable riding like I do. Monday in heavy fog, about to leave now in gloom and rain. And those rides are part of the attraction I think to my blog. All your fault, and Gary...*grin*

crusty: Thanks for the kind words. You are right about the motorcycle community not really caring about what a person rides. I have found only a few occassions where someone was actively hostile to what I was riding.

Roadbum: Thanks! Keep riding and writing!

Michael: No videos, at least not on a regular basis. If the spirit moves me in some manner perhaps but I think I will stick to words and pictures.

Paul: Riding just provides an excellent platform for photography. the perfect fit in my mind.

Gary: I feel the pressure sometimes, especially when I see so many other great posts. I am trying to find the right balance though...

It's a hoot to blog though! I could be doing this at a local tavern telling stories to three guys at the bar....

DBrent: Thanks for your kind words. I read your post about being denied membership in MBI and you almost had me!

Like you pointed out here I think there are many lessons to be learned from the experience of others and blogging is no different. I just need to keep paying attention.

Steve, congratulations on the award. I have been reading your blog for a little while–a couple of months, and recently joined MBI with my web site, SojournChronicles.com. I started riding more than 40 years ago on a beat-up Lambretta. That scooter got me started in motorcycling, and I have often thought of buying a more modern scooter for the stable. Congrats also on recognizing that no one comes to the forefront without walking in the footsteps of others. It is how we learn, and gives recognition to the teachers of our life experiences.–DBrent

Sorry I'm late to your party here, Steve. I've been down with the Flu all weekend.

We have built up a pretty comprehensive moto-blog community, haven't we? Many of the same folks you mention are my inspirations as well.

I have to wonder whether we would all try so hard if it weren't for the efforts of our contemporaries. I know that I feel pressure about every three or four days, especially after reading some of these other blogs, to post a new entry on my own.

Thanks for the mention here, and keep up the great work.

Ride well,

This post confirms why you so richly deserve the award. Your blog and Doug’s are the finest out there among many great blog sites. But Scooter and 40 on 2 alone have inspired me to get back into photography and carry a camera on the bike almost every time.

I hope you don't venture into video. I have observed the energy scooter scoop puts into his videos and they add nothing to the blog.
I cannot imagine your written blog remaining as thoughtful anmd gentle were it translated into the short-attention-span hyper-activity world of video.
You have a good thing going, a great thing perhaps and we could all stand to see more of this calm, measured reflection.
