There was a time when days of snow would have led to some sort of riding attempt on my Vespa scooter. I was young. Fresh. And stupid perhaps. No longer do I roll out the scooter into the fresh snow to “see how it does.” I know the answer to […]

The weather forecast called for heavy rain so we left the riding contraptions at home.  A non-riding day.
