We are well and were gifted a soft Winter and an early warm and welcoming Spring and as such an abundance of opportunity to get outside and be quiet and contemplate. Thank goodness!]]></description>

Exactly right, it may not matter at all -- motorcycle or Promaster.  It&#039;s the journey, not the machine.  And the journey is fueled by the mind so if I have my head in the right place, any trip will work.

A good friend just purchased a custom Promaster for travel.  He expects delivery in early July.  It sounds like a great way to live.

Let me know when you lumber this way.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Reverse the roles in the opening scene of the TV series (which was quite saccharine even for its day!) and put the motorcycle rider on his way to work and the station wagon off to see Patagonia...That will be you and me next year when I drive by State College in my lumbering van and you will be astride one two wheeled monster or another. Its never too late to sleep rough. Even at our advanced age waking up in a free spot and being answerable to no one is the perfect antidote to what ails us. I don&#039;t care that my wreck knocked me off bikes, my Promaster fuels my dreams now, and carries my broken pelvis where I want to go.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://scooterinthesticks.com/2021/05/scooter-minimalism/#comment-47591&quot;&gt;Gilles&lt;/a&gt;.

I&#039;ve come to realize there are many, many ways to experience a ride.  An e assist scooter is one.  I see a young man in our neighborhood zipping around on a stand-up scooter at a great pace and think how neat it must be to effortlessly and silently move through the world.

Doesn&#039;t matter why or where, like you say, who cares!]]></description>

&quot;Then Came Bronson&quot; is etched in my memory and I&#039;m certain it has had an effect on how I view riding.  Parks had an unusual singing voice.  I enjoy his music and wish he could have made another season or two of Bronson.

I was 15 in 1969 and riding a Kawasaki dirt bike in strip mines, pretending I was Jim Bronson.  What an imagination!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[riding the scooter is now a thing if the past in life but not in my head! I sold my scooter but I have been electrified. I decided, I can get the same feeling on my mini e assist with throttle as I can on my scooter while symplifying things even more. The range is good, no insurance, no gas.. I  can buy a second battery for the cost of insurance for one year. We´ll see though I might go back to a gas scooter. I dont care that others say I am cheating, I love it and it works!!
I dont know where I´ll go, places I´ve been, places I couldn´t go. who knows, who cares..I don´t because it does not matter lol

I think Bonfatto&#039;s will be on my regular stop list.  It&#039;s nice to get out of town.  I have not been inside Saint&#039;s in over a year.  Not sure I&#039;m ready to join the students there yet.

Hope all is well with you and your finding time to evaporate your cares!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Indeed Steve! The ride is so involving, so deliciously freeing and involving! The noise evaporates, at least for a little while. Bonfatto’s looks like a hit?
