Say it ain&#039;t so Dom!  No new motorcycles in your future?? 

The GTS is zippy for sure but I don&#039;t remember you commenting on it.  I don&#039;t have my hearing aids in while riding.  That&#039;s the problem.

The W650 is waiting for me right now.]]></description>

Steve, not at all, each motorcycle or scooter was enjoyable to ride.  The Himalayan came closest to speaking to me but the seat on the W650 was best.  As to scooters, remember how I was pleased at their zippiness?  I think I&#039;d have been more verbose were I still thinking there&#039;s more motorcycles in my future, alas it&#039;s not something that&#039;s going to happen.]]></description>

I&#039;m glad we get to experience exceptions to our strong sentiments and beliefs. It was a pleasure taking you on a few tours of the landscapes I get to enjoy on two-wheels.  A departure from your rides in Colorado.  And I was excited to see what you thought of the machines in my fleet.  You keep your responses close to the vest.  I sensed you enjoyed the W650 and maybe the Himalayan.  The reactions to the Honda Trail 125 and the scooters were hard to read. Hopefully you weren&#039;t too miserable riding them!]]></description>

The winding road up to Wopsy is still fun. There&#039;s a lot of great riding in that area.  My wife grew up in Altoona and always has tales...

Thank you for taking the time to comment.  I hope you have many good rides before it gets too hot!]]></description>

I am fortunate to have found riders who will put up with me.  Though I don&#039;t often test them.  When I am working on a post I will often ride alone so I can make the pictures I think I might need.  Getting older though, I am pretty relaxed about everything now.]]></description>

I&#039;m glad you could come along.  Stopping for whatever always is nice.  Sorry the Akismet drives you crazy.  Next time I&#039;m at your place you&#039;ll need to give me a demo.  Maybe I can fix something at the backend.  For managing comments Akismet is a godsend.  It handles thousands of spam messages that would drive me out of my mind if I had to manually deal with them.  I would like to see what it is doing with you.]]></description>

After almost two decades of preferring to ride alone I am beginning to change.  Riding with friends is a lot of fun.  I&#039;m a slow learner I guess.

Your Americade adventure sounds great.  And I love watching someone who can repair something complicated alongside the road.]]></description>
