Thanks Brent. I’ll keep riding and writing until I can’t. At least that’s the plan!

Thanks for the kind words about my posts here on Scooter in the Sticks. I’m happy to hear they helped inspire you to rev up the GTS. Having had my eye on a Street Twin for awhile I can only imagine the agony of choosing between them.

Good luck and be safe riding. Hope you have many more years ahead on the road.

You’re on your own path David. Don’t follow me — who knows what trouble that will get you in!

Seriously though, while it’s nice to look back at where I’ve been I’m more interested in what’s along the road ahead.

I can’t argue with anything you’ve written and I should do all of it.

I’ve already done the mirror thing. And with the camera. Self inspection and portraiture was a common theme in art school and something that I’ve continue to engage from time to time. I’m fascinated with the aging process — the things you can see and those you can’t.

Disposal, burial, plans, etc — much to do. I have made sure my kids have access to Scooter in the Sticks to make the final post.

Thanks for sharing this. Lots to think about.

And an early Happy Birthday to you!

You’re right — it is an extension of my life.

Making pictures is a well worn habit so it’s no surprise I have it at work with the scooter rides. There are rides where I’m kind of writing and creating while I ride and the experience is definitely different than when I’m just wandering.

The Triumph is still in my head. Who knows what will happen in the future.

I did go for a ride but skipped the tea in favor of a bowl of soup. Will post something tomorrow. Best exceptionally lazy today.
