You sound like Kim with your clear, insightful and make-sense comments. Maybe the paints should be off limits. I do have a big easel sitting behind me right now and a big canvas in the breezeway. All I need it to learn how to paint!

I may have the eye but not sure I have the patience. Maybe it’s best left a dream.

I remember a young John Travolta in one of those Honda commercials. They were great.

My back is still bothersome but riding the Vespa is much better than sitting in the car. I can stretch and move better on the scooter to keep my back limber.

I hope I’m not looking for a URAL when I retire.

I’m in the same place as you regarding how I came to have a Vespa, and how I’ve reacted to it. I certainly recognize the cumbersome nature of some of the bigger motorcycles as compared to the GTS. Just a different experience. I’ve not stopped looking at motorcycles but nothing has rung the bell. Yet.

I have two guitars sitting in the closet. I’ve had one sitting around for over 40 years waiting for me to pick it up….

Painting will probably yield similar results…

They’re still here but departing fast now.

I agree, the season of colored leaves has been long and spectacular in places.

Mamie’s is a great place for breakfast and lunch. I need to get there more often. Glad I could plant the idea for a visit.

Thanks for your opinion but have no desire to go thru the huge hassle/costs to get motorcycle licence here in canada. Perfectly content on my modified 50cc primavera. In the future who knows, but I live for today not for tomorrow!

Thank you for the kind words John about the posts.

A seacoast ride. Sounds lovely. Even if the weather isn’t all that warm!

And you just might fall in love with a Bonneville Speed Twin in fifteen. Infatuation is instantaneous.

The “addictive and overwhelming good feeling of my Vespa GTS scooter” comes with time. In Steve’s case, nine years and 32,000 miles not an afternoon on a borrowed bike.
