This will be a short post. A notification for myself as much as something for you to read. As I rode home this evening it was with a fine anticipation of nine days of vacation. I’m not going anywhere or doing anything. Just nine days to hang out at home with Kim and relax. And take the opportunity to ride. I’m pretty excited about it.
I stopped twice just to look at the sky. Fall is upon us and the leaves are changing and falling fast. The late day sun and broken sky just cry out “Autumn!” to me. For any of you who live in places that don’t experience a dramatic seasonal change like this you must add it to your “See before I die” list. And to ride through it is magic.
As I approached home I saw a rainbow. By the time I stopped and got the camera out it was nearly gone.
You can see a bit of it above the Vespa. The rainbow is obviously a signal of gold to come.
Nine days of vacation!
Steve,
I read through your entire blog today, something I rarely do when I browse a blog for the first time. You’re very in tune with what it means to go down the road on two wheels whether it be on a scooter or a motorcycle. Nice work!
Doug
Steve,
I hope you enjoy some none pre-consrained time on your scoot… as well as some time snuggling up to your to your cutie-pie.
I look forward to seeing some posts after you get some ” perspnol privacy poin t of price resolution time esolved resollved@@@@@
Doug: Thanks for the kind words of support. I’m trying to catch up on the last few decades of not riding. We all have to live with our decisions….
I have lurked through you’re blog for awhile and as a fellow old fart it rings true to me. And I was especially drawn to your review of the Triumph Scrambler since it could have easily been in the garage instead of the Vespa and I would be writing “Scrambler in the Sticks”.
I’ve put a link to your blog on my main page and for anyone reading who has desired a new Triumph classic check out Doug’s post:
