Not certain where it will lead. That’s part of the attraction. Like being lost on the road. With the preponderance of GPS devices mounted on scooters and motorcycles I suppose that’s not a common thrill.

Right now the motorcycle is leading slowly toward the repair shop to have some routine service performed. Unfortunately it’s years and years worth all at once. Plus new tires.

The future is fraught with motorcycle and the temptation to crack on..! I wonder where that will lead. I await developments.

Lack of sleep and a martini…. are you at a scooter rally??

Seriously though, I’ve always been more enamored of the rides than I have been of the machine — at least not beyond it’s suitability to get me on the road in a manner that doesn’t intrude on the experience. In that regard, it’s difficult to image a motorcycle being better. But perhaps I’m wrong to think in terms of better and best. Maybe the important part is to focus on the difference between the two as it relates to the riding experience. There’s plenty of room for me to have different experiences right?

Anyway, I’ll try and keep things interesting!

I only go on real Safari’s, I don’t use one. I was using Chrome and the first error was probably sleep induced and the second may have related to a martini. I am sure when you start writing of you knew love the fact that it is a motorcycle will be masked by your great pro’s and photography and I will not even notice the difference

If you have been using Safari as your browser I can relate to your frustration. I’ve lost a half dozen long comments on other people’s blog because for some reason Safari will not post via my Google or WordPress account. So now I just use Chrome when commenting and it is flawless. What has Apple done to us?

That ride occurred before Kim got me the motorcycle. So it was the only choice. But I can reassure you of my love of the Vespa. This evening I went for a ride and chose the scooter.

But you’ll have to gird yourself for those mornings when you open an email from Scooter in the Sticks and you see a motorcycle. Perhaps I should include a warning statement??

Ok, I wrote a comment the day this came out and either got censored or I did not hit the send button. I just tried to recreate the message and this window got closed and I lost all the writing. So, I take that as a message from the gods that I had no place to talk in the first place. Just know, I enjoyed it and was relieved to see the scooter as the ride of choice..

In reply to Jim Thornton. Fortunately bacon didn't put me on the slippery slope. Ice cream on the other hand...

In reply to Jim Zeiser. No K75. The ride took place before it came into my life. And no second blog. The Beemer and Vespa will peacefully coexist in the sticks.

In reply to DOMINGO CHANG. The bacon was good though I'm glad to report it did not trigger any obsession for more. I am safely past the bacon. Think how much better that picture would be with snow-capped mountains in the distance!
