					<description><![CDATA[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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck on your two-wheeled thinking.  A lot different than canoeing but a more instantly available experience.  Both are great ways to live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bobskoot:  Interesting collection of videos.  What&#039;s up with PISS???]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[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).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Steve!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Munich in Germany! My wife and me are Vespa users, too.

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Steve, &lt;br /&gt;As a constant reader and an (very) occasional poster, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank your for eloquent blog.  It hasn&#039;t gotten me to make the jump to two wheels yet, but the cogs are turning. Also, I appreciated the reference to Otto&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks again for your outstanding blog and best wishes for the new Year.]]></description>
