bobskoot: I had to re-read the post to see where you might have gotten the impression that I don't already have the dream moped, I mean motorcycle.

A motorcycle wouldn't increase my radius. It would only decrease the joy.

Mr. Riepe: I'm not anti-social, just selectively social. But I suppose to social butterflies like yourself I seem like I live in a shell or under a rock.

Yes, I am running straight pipes now and burn nitro fuel for top performance. Most of the other riders are a bit put off by it all, fearful of being shown up on the road and miserable because their masculine egos can't handle the acquisition of a machine like the Vespa that their body and soul craves so strongly.

It must be a terrible way to live.

I do spit when I arrive but my technique needs improvement -- it doesn't always achieve escape velocity and ends up on my jacket or shoes. But I'm determined to transform myself...

Steve:

I like the idea that you are preparing for the day when you will purchase that dream motorcycle, the one you have been thinking about. Doesn't hurt to increase your radius and find some new roads farther WEST (Hint)

Dear Scooter In The Sticks (Steve):

I am amazed that you have emerged from your shell to routinely appear at two of these events. I expect to see you billed as the guest speaker at the next one.

Rumor has it you have replaced the muffler on the VESPA with a Vance and Hines straight pipe. I also heard that you pulled up in a sweeping stop, spit, and got off with a swagger. Then again, I have been predicting this for years.

Fondest regards,
Jack/reep

Charlie6: (dom) Two Ural’s on one continent is a bit much don’t you think? Besides, showing up on a Vespa is statement enough for me. Just not sure what the statement is…

another great gathering of like-minded individuals....now if only someone would just bow to the inevitable, pick himself up a Ural Sidecar Rig, and really make a statement at the next gathering.....

hint hint nudge nudge

c'mon, you already enjoy life in the slow lane.....
