Reading your comment I am reminded that for me, there is a reward in well being when I choose action over thought. And when I say thought I am referring to the something obsessive that gets in the way of living. Getting up and doing almost anything changes my view and perspective of the world and my life.

Australia is a long way from Central Pennsylvania. You never know when paths might cross. I’ve been surprised how often I’ve met fellow riders and bloggers over the years.

Riding and photography plays an active role in my own well being. I often don’t realize the powerful effect it can have on awareness. And it’s fun. A good mix for me.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences. I appreciate them. It’s always good for me to see how others meld their interests into a life.

Steve – thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
I’ve been enjoy your writing immensely and find your words of insight to ring too true.
Although I reside in Australia at the present, I look forward to one day meeting you in the flesh, feeling that I’ve met a kindred spirit.

Stumbled across your site by accident in searching for a Vespa blog after purchasing a new 2023 Vespa GTS 300 classic.
I can’t wait to venture further then my two legs can carry me and my camera.
Personally I have used photography to help in managing my mental health, and look forward to adding the scooter in to the mix.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, impressions, opinions and musings.
You provide ‘food for thought’ and inspiration to stand up, get outside and move through life, instead of letting life move around us.

I did see Doug’s video but I think he dedicated to a different Steve. He commented that he’s going to have to get more specific with the Steve’s in his life!

Good to hear from you Brent.

A lot of my friends are playing pickle-ball but I’ve not gone down that road yet. I played table tennis on Penn State’s team back in the 70s and a few years ago I started to play and was shocked at the gap between what my brain remembered and what my body could do. For now it’s walking that keeps me moving.

Take care!

Steve, did you see Doug Cooper’s nice little video he dedicated to you?

If not, here you go: https://youtu.be/WTgsZwBeq8w

Yeah, but they like to remind me of how savvy they are and that’s sort of annoying! 🙂

I think of you often Frank and something you said to me when we were out in your Jeep looking for photographs. You said you don’t see anything when traveling over 35mph. I’ve tested that and you’re right. The slower I go the more I see when driving a car. Harder to find a place to pull over in my car than on the scooter though.

Walking seems to have some magic to it. I hope your recovery progresses quickly and you can tour the neighborhood on foot!

I hope PT gets you walking soon. Nothing has been more frustrating for me than when my back is giving me problems. I feel ancient.
