I really enjoyed riding the MP3-250 and didn’t feel as if it had any performance issues — was peppy and went as fast as I needed to go. Certainly not a racer or freeway machine but that kind of riding doesn’t fit in my world too well.

Good luck with the new leg and I hope you find the machine you want.

Hello Brent,

The heart attack post was titled ACCEPTING THE PATH AHEAD. It was an interesting experience and wake up call for a lot of bad decisions in regard to food, exercise and stress. Still working through those now.

Anyways, I was shocked to read it as I value your post, writings , thoughts and all your input. Please take further care of yourself.

While a new 2015 model is too rich for my blood, I’ve noticed used ones are quite cheap. And I don’t know where the idea of the 250 version being a slug came from… I rode one at Amerivespa in Seattle and found it quite peppy. We shall see…

The dance, like the journey, is exquisite isn’t it?

Glad you didn’t have a heart attack Mike though bad reactions to medications can be dangerous too. Physical health is easy to take for granted until you can’t…

Like you, the heart attack has me thinking about a lot of things — work life being one. Not sure where I’ll end up with everything but it’s an interesting puzzle.

Riding to diners is going to be really tough. I was at a restaurant this afternoon and there was NOTHING I could eat that fit into the “healthy” category. Kind of surprising actually.

I will push on though and see what tomorrow brings. Hope things are going well with you Richard!

We know this, but only when it suddenly changes do we KNOW it. Now comes an opportunity to live even more well. May this be a blessing. It sounds like it is.

Nice being able to juxtaposition your experience the sudden constriction of the future in your ER experience with the expansiveness of the new granddaughter. Ah, the dance.

Thanks for sharing,
