Ghost Writer: A good idea. The simple things I pursue on the scooter should transfer to diet, exercise, and such. Right.

Thanks for the idea.

Glad to hear you were given a chance to get things right.

Have you thought about mimicking the health regimen you have for your Vespa, it might be an improvement?

Orin: I think you’re right. I don’t often meet riders who use their scooter or motorcycle for routine transportation. Recreational riders have a lot of fun but have different goals and expectations for themselves and their riding.

RichardM: Hah. I doubt I will define anything for Vespa riders. Certainly not fashion!

bobskoot: Seasoned rider. I like that.

The picture really was a fluke. Like the blind squirrel who finds an acorn every now and then.

But I love the magic of flukes...

Aurelio: Heart of Darkness covers a lot of categories. In order to sell it to my daughter I will have to call it travel/adventure.

SpannerX: I’m with you. As long as stuff is functional — covers me up, keeps me warm, keeps me dry, I don’t care a lot about how it looks. I do have a leaning towards yellow and black jackets though.

Conchscooter: Haven't given my daughter the book yet. It's still sitting here in the livingroom waiting for her to come and visit. We''ll see how adventurous a reader she is.

Key West. I'm not against it though Kim and I have been talking about moving to Altoona. Similar places.

Dear Mr. Riepe: Thank you for your insightful comments. I've made a note of the proper response should someone inquire about my appearance.

The Vespa marketing image is a far cry from my experience. Not sure the two are compatible. Maybe that's why Piaggio quit responding to my emails...

Perhaps it is time to change the name of my blog to Vagrant in the Sticks. Has a dark ring to it.
