I always take the top box off and use bungee cords to fasten the tree to the end of the seat and part of the rack. Weight isn’t the issue. Balance of the tree is. And I’ve hauled an eight foot tree so you need to remember that you’re as wide as a car now. Don’t want to run into anything. I ride slow and stay off the fast trafficked roads.

How did it ride and do you think I could fit one with my top box on?

You’re right about family Bill — in the end it’s what matters. How it’s embodied is varied. I’m dreaming of teaching my granddaughter to ride a scooter. If I live that long…

Christmas has changed for all of us, but I find that spending time with my family is the best part. Oh, and riding scooters too.

Thanks Karl. Looking forward to the video. I guess I need to take one out again that doesn’t have any problems.

Have a great new year!

It has indeed be weird weather-wise. Tomorrow will have us in the mid-60s again at the end of December.

Thanks Dom. Always interesting to look in the rear view mirror and think about where you’ve been…

Thanks for all the great photos and thoughts you have contributed throughout the year to my experiences.

I’ll be sending you soon a video my son shot of one of his travels through the Arizona desert on his Motoped Survival. That thing really moves!

And, have a good New year.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Steve, and all the best for a healthy happy 2016.
