Good policies. Scooters in Minneapolis seem to be gaining more popularity recently, and I think a lot of people are going to be in your same situation, if a little less well traveled.

Lucky: I would likely fall into the same pattern as you if I had two machines. One would get ridden a lot and the other not at all. Parallels my experience with second cameras...

Had a backup Leica M6 for years and used it twice. Eventually sold it.

So for now, one scooter for me and that's it. Simple.

Seems to me that you wring out that Vespa pretty well and it returns to you great rides, wonderful memories and fodder for entertaining stories. That's a pretty good deal.

As an owner of an '09 GSA, my bike offers some of the same rewards, although just yesterday it returned from the shop's 36,000 mile physical along with a tab exceeding $900.00.

I suspect neither of us would trade either but believe that - because of the writing and photos you've shared in your blog - having both would be beyond cool.

Cheers!

Having a spare bike is nice, but it does mean you have to ride both of them regularly. I found that one would be left sitting most of the time...

That might just be me, though.

And lots of times, it's nice to just have the shop do the work while you get one with your own life.

Charlie6: Yeah, a weak moment on her part. And a few minutes after she expressed some positive leanings Craig Kissell called and said he had sold the bike and I needed to bring it back to the dealership.

Since then no other motorcycle has caught my imagination as that one did.

Lucky me.

Wait a sec, you've got spousal approval for a 1200 GS and there's not one in the garage as we speak?!

OTOH, I'm trying to sell my "spare" sidecar rig, no longer vowing to ride every snow day....so this winter if Valencia breaks down....I wonder if Martha will let me borrow here car then?

RichardM: I’ve thought about that bike more than once. But it was the 2005 BMW R1200 GS in yellow and black that I really wanted. And Kim gave the ok too!

I’m like Galadriel in Lord of the Rings — i’ve passed the test and will fade into the West on my Vespa…

Just think back to 2011 when you turned your back on the nice '88 R100GS in yellow...

You could've had a spare bike.

(Sorry, couldn't resist)
