My Vespa experience definitely has some aspect of Zen to it. At least as I understand Zen. But what I bring to the scooter is probably more influential than the scooter itself. Not sure.

Hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!

Mon expérience Vespa a certainement un aspect du Zen. Du moins si je comprends bien le Zen. Mais ce que j’apporte au scooter est probablement plus influent que le scooter lui-même. Pas certain.

J’espère que vous et votre famille passez une merveilleuse nouvelle année!

tout d’abord, bonne année 2020.
Que cette nouvelle année soit faite de belle promenade en Vespa.
Concernant ta réflexion, je suis entièrement d’accord avec toi.
Nous sommes zen parce que nous rouons à Vespa.
La Vespa aurait pu être une invention des moines Tibétains…
La Vespa, c’est prendre du temps au temps.

Hello Steve,
first of all, happy new year 2020.
May this new year be a wonderful ride in a Vespa.
Regarding your thinking, I fully agree with you.
We are Zen because we drive at Vespa.
The Vespa could have been an invention of the Tibetan monks …
Vespa is taking time to time.

The BMW got hammered by salt and grime on Friday. It’s a lot harder to clean than the scooter. More places for things to hide. I’ll modify my riding habits I think.

You’ll have to share links to the riding videos!

Sinus infections. Ugh. Seems I get one every year that requires a Z-Pak or more. I’ll have to look around for some elderberry juice.

Have a great New Year!

And a BMW motorcycle too. I have more caution about the damage road salt does to my bikes so they have sat and get started once each week. Fortunately I can view motorcycle and scooter videos on Youtube to satisfy my love of riding while I’m housebound. I have a few there that i made in the past to stir up my riding fantasies.

Am also battling a sinus infection. In the final stages now. Elderberry juice does help along with all the other time-tested health recommendations.
