But I guess one never knows for sure what the next curve in the road will reveal.

It snowed here today for a short time and the temperature is headed towards 30F but that won’t last.

That rhythm was good for me.

I understand riders who have limited time and want to go to a faraway destination have little choice but use the freeway but I hate to drag all that weight and power around for those few times.

And the Vespa is comfortable. I don’t have any trouble with 10 and 12 hour rides. Can’t say the same for some motorcycles I have ridden…

First that you’re out riding again, second that it wasn’t a huge problem (though probably a huge PITA!), and third that we can anticipate more of your posts and photos ;o)

Some day I will upgrade my ride and join the “big boys.” Still love being in the Vespa camp regardless ;o)

Awesome, and I’m glad that you have yours working again. Looking forward to more of your posts.
