Sounds like a big, happy pack of dogs!

The Vespa loves the barn! It has plenty of company with the Harleys, the BMW, the Kawasaki, the Aprilias and the Buddy.

It was short lived. If I had to ride for much longer in it the roads would have become a problem. But the riding gods shined on the world…

There is no getting around the fact that advancing years changes things — in perception and in actual physical ability. Riding is providing me an excellent truth-meter. Hopefully I’ll accept the readings…

Get those electric gloves. They are a lovely thing.

Vespa and barn. Something doesn’t sound right Bill!

Yep. It’s nice riding when the sky is full of snow but the road remains dry, or just wet. But once the road turns white it’s a different ballgame. I only continue to travel in that environment when the travel is non-existent and I can crawl along…

Not much. We haven’t had any serious amount of snow this year. Used my cardiologist directed snow blower once this season.

I don’t ride as much in the winter as I once did. The daily commute to work has been supplanted by the automobile on many days. This weekend promises to be unseasonably warm for February in Pennsylvania. Should be more than a few motorcycles on the road. Be safe!

It can be wonderful to find yourself in a passing flurry. But I’ve been trapped more than once in a sudden heavy snow that made life dicey for both myself and the cars on the road. I caution anyone riding in the winter where there’s a chance of snow to take a cold, sober look at the situation and lean heavily toward parking the two-wheeled contraption when it’s snowing.

But is is beautiful…
