As much as I would enjoy venturing north for a ride in Canada, I won’t be able to do that. Your invitation did remind me though that I should get my passport renewed!

Lol, no rush.

My energy seems to ebb and flow with the temperature, the light or a combination of the two. Spring can’t come fast enough. Still working on a piece about speed. Soon.

Thanks for the head’s up on the Minnaert book. I’ll see if I can track it down.

I read the comments, and I really look forward to your thoughts on aversion to speed. In many cases, I find I am feeling that more and more lately.

Hope your adventure home on the Burgman is everything you hope for. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Burgman 400. Hopefully those kudos reach through the 200 as well. The extra power from those 50ccs should allow you to be more competitive with the traffic and not feel like you’re about to be swamped from behind.

Best wishes for a storm free, fire free and quiet spring and summer!

Oui, je veux monter la Vespa!

Pugetopolis…. what a great way to describe the area.

I probably give the wrong idea about participation in a community. Our local motohang group is great and I enjoy getting together with them for conversation, support and ideas. But you’re right, I generally ride alone.

The area you live in has always had an attraction to Kim and I. And from looking at maps I can see how you could chalk up 31K miles. My father-in-law rides a 2004 ET4 but only has about 15K miles. After his 80th birthday his riding has slowed but he still gets out. It’s a great scooter.

Thanks for stopping by to comment on Greater Pugetopolis. I appreciate it.
