Charlie: Still working on that review. Slow but sure.

Conchscooter: Hmmm, excuse. Well, things have been hectic. Weather bad. Work intense. And the Governor of Pennsylvania proposed cutting our appropriation by 52 percent.

So my mind has been elsewhere of late...

Hey- I'm under all sorts of presure at work during spring break and the blog is a pain in the ass. so what's your excuse, mr unmotivated?
If riepe and I ride to the sticks this summer you will be in bad trouble. I am a dog whisperer and Junior will follow me home. Take pictures now while you can.
Call that a motivator.Capisci?

Steve,

The looks on the Victory don't appeal to me....and it sure looks heavy. It's looks are definitely love it or hate it with no in between.

Looking forward to your review of the Piaggio and sidecar rig.

Circle Blue: I made it through the day without turning the rig over. Beginning to pull my thoughts together and finding a wide range of things turning in my head.

Low Buck Rider: you are exactly right about the Jetson look. A bubble machine would complete the look.

Shark and Remora--I'll get my eyes open for that.

ToadMama: Show you’re husband the new BMW K1600 tourer—nice bike. Or the new Ducati Diavel or a Triumph Thunderbird–anything but a Victory…

I guess I don’t like the Victory too much. Sorry.

SonjaM: I try hard to be open to just about any motorcycle but there are a few that just seem too eccentric for my taste. The styling on the Victory line leaves me cold but I know others feel the same about the Vespa. Plenty of room on the road for all kinds of bikes.

RichardM: I too was interested. My first sidecar experience and with an MP3 as the tug. Rode it today.

Interesting...

I loved Sonja's comment. I not thought of it before, but it does look like that.

I, too, am looking forward to the MP3 review. I can only wonder with it's tendency to eat rear tires what the consequences of pushing a car would be. Alas, I suspect the test ride won't be long enough to tell :)

Be safe on this odd beast.
