My own scooter takes a beating from the salt and winter grime in a way most don’t. That will speed the cosmetic and structural aging. Even so my Vespa really shines up nicely when I put the effort in.

Lifespan is long for one of these machines.

Kim has taught me to embrace the dandelion along with moss, lichens, liverworts, plantain, and a host of other “weeds”. The only one that causes her to see red is Poison Ivy.

The only plant I keep my eye on is my Phyllostachys aureosulcata. If you don’t pay close attention with a shovel is can take over your world. Someday I fear, when I am old and feeble, I’m going to have to have a backhoe come in and rip it all out.

Riding in heavy, fast traffic has to be a drag. The 300 will definitely propel you along at faster speeds than the 150. Be careful!

I’m grateful for the diversity of riding available to me not far from my front door. Central Pennsylvania really is a great place to ride.

What’s wrong with the world???

Another friendly dig at my URAL riding friends!

Your less traveled roads make it easier to wander and stop more safely than here, where we have few roads saturated with many cars.

The dandelions add some nice colour to your photos but I too am obsessed with getting rid of them from the lawn and garden. Chemicals take too long, the fastest way to remove them is to dig them out by hand

Glad you are once again out on the back roads!
