While we have a forest fire every now and again they are insignificant compared to what has occurred in California.

Those riding exercises to 31 Flavors and other similar establishments are causing some midsection bulge for me. I need to pay more attention!

Ride safely.

I wish I had your riding environment. Just so happen the best strip of road in Orange county for two wheelers like myself and others..Santiago Canyon Road. You know by now its not looking all that healthy. Like Bill I also enjoy a slower pace riding on my scooter. I need to keep my physique in shape by visiting 31 Flavors 🙂 and have a great time doing “Errands” both before and after.

They all probably appreciate slower rides and being escorted to bakeries. I know I would.

This is the kind of real macho work that isn’t seen often enough in the two-wheeled world. It takes really fortitude to keep the speedometer needle below 40! Keep it up!!

Lea: I have lots of pictures and stories to post but run short of time to put them together. Hopefully it’s just a momentary energy loss that will soon be plugged.

Congratulations on your new Vespas. Whose Vespa had the problem?

Hope everything gets straightened out right away so you both can keep riding.

rob: Thanks! It’s dark now when I get up and almost dark when I leave work. I think I’ll have more dim pictures in the near future.

Great photos and visual images that you paint with your words. Thanks for the inspiration.

We put around 70 miles on our new Vespas over the weekend. But one of them has a faulty motor mount so it is in the shop waiting for a new part. It was making a squeaking sound and more vibration than normal. Since we have two it was easy to make the comparison and know that something was not right with one of them.

Looking forward to your next entry.

I took a slow wander yesterday like yours, and really enjoyed the pace. I’m putting together a little route for the Geezer cronies to ride on an upcoming Sunday. If we break 40 mph, were going too fast. And the ride will include a bakery visit too!

Have fun,
Bill
