Fuzzygalore: Lunchtime reading! That's a new one. Hope they don't cause indigestion.

And let me know when you trade your bike in for a Vespa!

SonjaM: I hope you find as much enjoyment from the Vespa as I have. And thanks for your kind words about my writing and pictures. As long as I keep seeing and thinking about things on the road I’ll keep posting.

Dear Mr. Riepe: Hmmmmm. My first reaction when I started to read your comment was that you were setting up a joke. I saw a post on Twisted Roads with you in a cheap hotel with a pillion candy reading you bedtime stories. Such is the reputation you have cultivated. Or at least that's how the seeds have germinated in my head.

But I hope you find some enjoyment in my ramblings. I spread 300 miles over many hours of riding, picture making, eating, napping, and looking around at the scenery. At the rate of speed you travel you would finish the 300 miles off in less than four hours.

I love that you've collected these posts into a list. Sometimes really great content such as this can get buried. Now i have something great to read on my lunch hour today!

@Sonja- Congrats on your new scoots! Steve's pictures really are very inspiring.

Kudos for the distance riding. You know it is partly due to your blog that we are owning a pair of Vespa’s now, right?
And yes, we are planning on riding longer distances as well. Thank you so much for sharing this, both your photography and the tales from the road are very inspiring!

Dear Scooter In The Sticks (Steve):

I am going to read a different one of your rides each night for a week. Some are likely to affect me more than others... But I have decided to include a small notation on how each helped make me a better person. I am amazed at the distances you cover. Over 300 miles would be the upper range of my limit these days, and that would be going like bloody hell.

Fondest regards,
