In reply to Brent.

I remember those old rides so clearly — a result of having the words and pictures. No rotator cuff issues at all right now. Just good memories…

It’s fun and historic to read one of your older posts Steve. Love your writing. I always feel I’m right there with you it’s so good. Thanks for the adventure. I bet that rotator cuff does hurt at all now.

gary: I find it difficult to really let go of my desire to keep the Vespa looking pristine. I say this recognizing a gap between my desire (mental) and my actions that have me using it is ways and places that just dirty it up. I hope to come to a reasonable place in this.

kitkatknit: The shoulder is fine. Saw an orthopedic surgeon and he confirmed a severe strain of the rotator cuff. I am almost back to 100 percent use and the pain is gone. As he said I probably dodged a bullet....

OMG Steve! My husband has had both shoulders rebuilt during rotator cuff surgery. Way in the back of my mind I think that is what is keeping him off scoots. Here's to a speedy recovery.

I've been thinking about how to respond to this post.

Like you, I have a sort of low-grade vanity about the appearance of my GTS.

The other day, someone was offended by my "Rock Star" parking at the local market, and kicked the front of the leg shield, leaving the paint scratched.

I was furious, at first. But then I realized that, when you USE a scooter as intended, shit happens.

Thus it acquires the "patina" we always talk about. That wouldn't stop me from eviscerating the bastard who did it, if I caught him, but it helps me accept the results of his vandalism.

What the heck? You saved the camera, and that is the most important tool of your trade. If your GTS takes on a battle-scarred look, it can only make the photos more interesting.

Ride well,

cody: The shoulder is much improved and rode to work today. That's always a good thing, even on Friday the 13th.

joe: thankfully the typing problem only lasted a few days. Hopefully I am on the mend. Doing all the stretching, icing, and anti-inflamatories I was prescribed.

Don’t be surprised about typing bothering you. I’ve got impingement in both shoulders and on the surically repaired one I was told that small motor movements in the hands hurt the most. Playing cards and reaching into the craps pit seem to bother me the most. Typing hurt at first but got better over time, which is a good thing for a blogger.
