This is not reason enough for me to not to ride; love riding in the snow. But not very comfortable as in the dry season.

An excellent Vespa and one I have in my head as the replacement for my own GTS when the time comes. I’ve ridden them before and they have a bit more power through the entire range. No more top speed but you get there faster.

Your blog is great. My wife and I chuckled at the baby video and were impressed with the Russian avalanche one as well.

You have some great images of your Vespa S50 on your blog. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures in Sweden.

It reminded me a lot of what life was like in high school for me in 1970. Can’t believe how young Dennis Quaid and Daniel Stern are in that film.

And you were a stuntman on top of all your other accomplishments?

So far I have managed to have the scooter under cover when hail has arrived.

When my schedule eases and the weather tempers I’ll ride down and entertain you with Vespa stories.

Hope you feel better soon.

Glad you were wearing a helmet. I see bicyclists on the road all the time moving at a good pace, without helmets, and in those tight little riding shorts. A fall to the pavement would be trouble.

Best of luck for your recuperation!

When it is cold, wet, and snowing and you walk into a place with a helmet on people do probably give the insane a wide berth…

chessie: Please clear something up for me. Do witches float or sink in water?

The temp was about 5 degrees Celsius but I survived using snowmobile gear.

I usually ride in all weather but when there is ice on the roads I get a little nervous. I put the bike away for the winter once that starts to happen.
