Just think of them as caged hyenas jealous of your freedom. 😉

It’s always good to see how others are using their scooters to haul everyday loads others put in their cars or trucks. It sure sets a good example that I think a few folks will follow later in life when they realize more isn’t always better, or they see that gas prices have gone too far. One-of-these-days, when I get a digital camera, I will begin to document some of the loads I routinely carry on Beo.

Steve,

I'm impressed with what you can carry on the back of that scooter. The Christmas tree that your took on the back of your LX 150 in December - now that was incredible!

When I'm riding my LX 50, I get people looking at me, sometimes, I think, just because I'm riding a scooter. I smile at them, think of money I'm saving in gas, and think of the good feeling riding a scooter creates in me.

You're a lead by example kind of guy. I'll bet when the price of gas starts to rise fast again, at least one of those kids is going to seriously be considering what that guy they saw at the stoplight was able to do with his scooter. You're the first domino hehe someday the people who see you ride will realize that.

Steve — Stacy and I would have pointed and smiled (and, if it were you, waved!), and it would have been because we were impressed. We are always amazed at what you can haul around on that Vespa (thinking now of the x-mas tree post). I need to make the First Spring Trip to Lowes, but I’m not sure how much is going to fit in my little Miata MX-5. But after reading your post, I feel more confident I can at least get some potting soil and maybe a few plants.

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to say I've been following your blog for the past month and am really, really enjoying it. Aside from the fact that I'm a new convert into the world of scooters (bought a TGB 101R 150 back in February), I absolutely love the introspective, cathartic nature of your reflections on the landscape and the people you meet.

Thanks very much,

Michael
