I inflate as the tag in the glove box indicates. 29 on the rear and 26.5 up front. Others have suggested higher rear tire pressures and I’ve experimented but don’t see a difference.

Friction — that’s the name of the game when it rains. I’m with you in being more careful. Besides, we’re waterproof right?

It always surprises me how far away I have to be from the scooter to get a 200x2000px crop. We can catch up sometime this week to look at photos.

Strong winds are no fun and I avoid them. And when caught in a sudden change I can almost always find a slower, more sheltered route around here.

Deer season, especially the opening two or three days, is like a holiday event in Pennsylvania. It’s a reason or excuse for families, friends and others to gather together. I always thought the hunting was secondary to the social side of hunting. At least that was what I witnessed as a kid when I would hunt with my father and his friends.

Even on three wheels, strong winds in hard rain can become “not that fun” when the wind comes at you from the sidecar’s side…..

Good idea avoiding the woods while hunting season fills them with hunters….besides, even the quiet hum of the Vespa might scare the deer away. Or worse, hunters cause deer to try and escape by crossing a road, right into traffic.

There’s a lot calling to me to ride. Things do get in the way though — work, dogs, family, sleep, eating, etc. It’s a hell of a situation.
