I hope you had a fine Christmas holiday Floyd and are enjoying the approach of a new year.

I’ve been riding and making photographs but struggling to put two words together. I’m still writing but have not produced anything worth posting. Hopefully that will change soon!

Thanks for stopping by Dom. Good to see you’re back boondocking again. And those familiar sunsets over Denver! I need to be less lazy and comment.

Jack Riepe knows how to turn a phrase. And he’s still turning them despite his health challenges. I spoke with him about a month ago. He’s still waiting for me to review his first book. He’s a patient man!

My friend Paul has a ’64 Allstate scooter, two-stroke, manual transmission, and he loves it. Lots of two-wheeled choices out there for fun and thrills!

I wasn’t familiar with Janus motorcycles so I had to look them up. Wow! What a work of art. I watched a review on YouTube and it seems amazing. Congratulations on finding your way to this new machine. As a BMW dealer you certainly would have seen complicated machines.

And bravo for still riding at 88. I hope I’m as fortunate as you and have two decades of travel in me! Thanks for stopping to comment. Stop again to let us know how things turn out with the Janus.

I’m torn about ABS brakes for the scooter and motorcycle. While I’ve seen the demos on YouTube of stopping at high speed on wet pavement tests with ABS and not ABS, I had to wonder if the comparison was relevant to me. I would never ride that fast on a road with that much water on it.

My main concern is being able to disable the ABS. I ride my scooter enough in dirt and gravel in the mountains of steep roads that I want to me able to lock up the rear wheel. I need to find out if the ABS on a Vespa can be easily disabled and enabled on the fly.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Ken 🙂
