Seeking the Christmas Spirit…

Merry Christmas to all and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!

      Damn. I had never heard of Pinlock. A bit of research and checking my helmet I see the visor is Pinlock ready. I wonder how many years it will take before I actually purchase a Pinlock lens??

        Pinlock lens should have been in the box with your helmet.

          It wasn’t. But I ordered a Pinlock screen from Revzilla. I have it in my hot little hands. I just need to install it now. Thanks for the head’s up!

    PS. Really liked your still shots, especially the lead shot on A Merry Vespa Christmas 2022! Wishing you and Kim the best for the new year and many more happy miles. Keep making those memories.

      Thanks Robert. I am itching to ride but since Kim is recovering from a major surgery I am staying pretty close to home as chief cook, bottle washer and nurse. But she’s recovering so I’ll be able to get out soon I think and shoot more pictures and make more videos.

      Happy New Year to you and Lynn!

      Thank you Larry. The Christmas Spirit did return after I let go of my expectations of the holidays and just accepted the days as they unfolded. God is always with me though I confess I sometimes forget that…

      It really was too bad in terms of staying warm. The roads were a problem though. I’m hoping to go for another ride soon.

      Best wishes to you and your family for a great New Year!

    Touching Video Steve. I’m coming back to your blog after a little Vespa binging hiatus, watching your Christmas videos the day before Easter. I respect and share a lot of your thoughts. I think a Vespa can in fact save Christmas. It’s the spirit within us that brings the Christmas joy, and a love and passion for something/anything can help hold that spirit within us. I have a lot of catching up with your blog and youtube videos, which I’m looking forward to. I know this requires a lot of effort on your part to put this content out, but just know, it IS being appreciated and may even help hold some Christmas spirit in some of us’s heart. Cheers for now. And Happy Easter!

      Sorry for the delay in responding to your comment. I missed it waiting in an approval folder.

      I agree with your thoughts about how love and passion for something can affect the spirit within us. Riding certainly has done that for me.

      Thank you for your supportive words about the things I create. The process remains helpful for me.

      Hope all is well with you as we now enter May!
