					<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] Dogs and scooters remind me that my life does not exist somewhere else, or tomorrow, or yesterday. It is happening now. Even though we walk through the same places in the morning, along the woods, over a creek, through a field, it&#8217;s new each time. The light changes, the fragrance in the air changes. I&#8217;m not the same man right now that I was ten minutes ago. And if I can stay focused on this moment as the dogs do, I can find pleasure and contentment. For as long as I can focus&#8230; [&#8230;]]]></description>

The only place I have seen speed limits of 75mph are on select sections of Interstate 80.  Most of the places I ride on the Interstate the limits are either 65 or 70.  Within those limits the GTS is fine.  The other vehicles though are often speeding along at much higher rates of speed.  But I can always find a car or truck traveling at the speed limit where I can follow in relative calm.

I really don&#039;t like riding on the Interstate though.  Such a bore.]]></description>

Thanks for the supportive words Jim.

It&#039;s fun to ride with Paul though I often find it hard to make time to go. But when we do the conversations are fun and the landscapes are beautiful to behold.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://scooterinthesticks.com/2023/08/scooters-dogs-and-motorcycles/#comment-53063&quot;&gt;Tom&lt;/a&gt;.

For a long time I was fascinated by making photographs of the Vespa.  Often the blog posts were more a description of the photos than the photos were to illustrate a story.  But a few years ago I found it increasingly difficult to write and the frequency of posting declined.  The move to make videos was a grasping to do something creative.  Now I find it difficult to decide when to make videos and when to shoot pictures and write posts.

Whatever I decide things remained focused on the experiences and thoughts I have while riding.  I&#039;ve surrendered any plans or schemes and just do whatever seems natural to do in the moment.  I&#039;m glad when someone reacts to the things I share.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[... about that &quot;legal limits&quot; and Vespas stuff... so the legal limit on Pennsylvania highways is 75 miles per hour, is it? Because that was my average highway speed on my GTS Vespas. I suspect you are attempting to cover up your Vespa crimes, Steve... just saying.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I enjoy both of your endeavors Steve. The blog has well thought out prose and striking photos. The videos have rolling views of the Pennsylvania countryside and the sound of engines in the background. I mostly enjoy the byplay you and Paul. His attitudes and riding style are much like my own and contrast the different &quot;Why We Ride&quot; beliefs between the two of you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What I appreciate most about the blog posts are the photographs. Congratulations on the development of the YouTube channel as well. It&#039;s really come a long way.
