irondad: All is well. Just busy. Have a big new job responsibility that is taking far more of my brain than I thought it would.

Still riding but not as much. Will post more soon.

Thanks for checking up on me!

ewald: Bavaria would be a wonderful place to ride a Vespa. My mother was from Germany and I spent a lot of time in Munchen and in the Alps as a kid. I miss those days.

I'll keep visiting your blog. Gives me a chance to practice my rusty German...

witewater: Thanks so much for your kinds words about Scooter in the Sticks. Please forgive my slow response. Still shaking the holidays out of my head and just want to remain lazy.

Good luck on your two-wheeled thinking. A lot different than canoeing but a more instantly available experience. Both are great ways to live.

bobskoot: Interesting collection of videos. What's up with PISS???

As he pays a "welfare check" visit and hears an echo inside the house in response to his knock, he asks:

Are you ok in there? Your friends hadn't heard from you in a while and were concerned.

Sometimes I wish I had not sold my Vespa to feed my BMW craving. Just think, I could be freezing my knuckles every day if I still had the Vespa, which ran well in cold weather even when the coolant had all leaked out (the R1100 which needs something fixed so it will start at all).

Hello Steve!

From Munich in Germany! My wife and me are Vespa users, too. When ever there is some time left and weather does allow it, we do little tours to our Bavarian mountains and lakes.

We love to ride outside even by low temperatures as well as you do.

Perhaps you want to drop by at my blog Vespamenschen at http://vespamenschen.blogspot.com

I am sorry, it is in the moment only in German language. VESPAMENSCHEN is a little bit like People on Vespas

Many greetings from Europe! Ewald

Hi Steve,
As a constant reader and an (very) occasional poster, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank your for eloquent blog. It hasn't gotten me to make the jump to two wheels yet, but the cogs are turning. Also, I appreciated the reference to Otto's Brewpub in one of your posts. I am always on the lookout for new and interesting destinations for Lager quests and with my Daughter starting at Lock Haven again in a month, I am within striking distance of capturing a nice Red Mo.

Thanks again for your outstanding blog and best wishes for the new Year.

bobskoot: Editing video can be a real chore on a laptop. I used to do a lot of it with Final Cut Pro on a Mac but always struggled to get things to work smoothly on a PC.

I have been thinking again of making some riding videos but then I realize I am too lazy for that. Video is work!

I'll keep an eye out for your videos.
