I fired up the scooter Saturday for the first time in I can't remember. It was nice, I think high 50's with sun shine. I took it out for about a 25 mile ride after wiping it off where it had been sitting in the gargage. It did feel good after such a long time too. I almost was tempted to exceed the speed limit on the interstate, {I'll never tell!

). I'll take you with me a second. I am close to where I want to get off the exit to make the loop to head back towards home. I had just a few seconds before eased over into the right hand lane maybe even doing the throttle hand only on the handlebars,, doing let's say the speed limit. I am really sure if it is loud because I wear ear plugs

. Then suddenly I noticed a passenger van on my left easing by me and I glance over with longer than my wife likes it gray beard splitting at the chin almost on both shoulders to ( you won't believe this!) the thumbs up :2thumbs: by several passengers in the van,, even in January ! The week before it is close to 0" degrees friggin cold. Before I excited the interstate I passed them again and as I got on to the exit maybe down shifted for the full affect. The I just eased on back to the house. It was nice to be out again,, almost like leaving the crazy house if just for a moment !
