It&#039;s been a few years now since I&#039;ve ridden a motorcycle.  I can see how the mood would vary depending on your goals I suppose.  Or if the machine seduces you.  I remember &lt;a href=&quot;https://scooterinthesticks.com/2009/09/ducati-hypermotard-engineering-meets/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;riding a Ducati Hypermotard&lt;/a&gt; and how often I would feel the urge to just twist the throttle and have the motorcycle leap into motion.  The difference from the Vespa was dramatic and the Ducati resisted the manner of riding I usually did.  I didn&#039;t have a lot of desire for power and speed.  Or perhaps I just didn&#039;t trust myself with it.  But I certainly can understand how various motorcycles and scooters will change a mood.

I&#039;ve always admired the Honda 750 Nighthawk.  Particularly the yellow one!  Ride safe!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I took the scooter out today in honor of Ride to Work Day. I find my mood varies with the equipment. The scooter is quite peaceful next to the motorcycles so the mood differs. If I&#039;m in the mood for adrenaline I ride the Nighthawk. If I want to become totally involved with controlling a beast I take the 750. In all cases I become aware of my relationship to the road and the world. Just at different levels of thrill.]]></description>

Melting bullshit.  I like that.  I need to make a T-shirt:  Why do I ride?  Because it melts the bullshit!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Choice is a funny thing.  It&#039;s a word yes, but I find understanding what appears to be a choice that&#039;s real (choosing to relax the mind and enjoy god&#039;s scooter riding world) versus a choice that is an illusion, to be helpful.  I mention this because in one of my groups a person tosses the word &quot;choice&quot; around all the time and they don&#039;t realize that sometimes what they think is a choice is an illusion.  The reason riding a scooter in the forest feels good is because the BS melts away and the real is what remains.  But you&#039;ve written about that 100 times.  That&#039;s in your wheel house.  pdruby]]></description>

I confess a thrill at sitting down to a hot cup of tea after a cold ride.  The best temperature for that would be in the 45F to 55F range.  Holding a hot cup in cold hands brings a striking awareness to life.  For me anyway.

Wish you and Bill could have spent more time here.  Lots of things to show -- some of the coffee shops a small part of the riding experience.  

I&#039;ve been looking over the few pictures I made of you guys.  Trying to balance them with a post title like, &quot;Riding Legends&quot; or &quot;Two-Wheeled Superstars.&quot;  Probably would be best to tag it something less dramatic and allow the reader to invoke the legend status!]]></description>

I agree with the sentiment you share.  Easy to say though hard to do at times.

Index fund it is.  At least with this round of investment!]]></description>
