On the road again
Our good friend Andy came over last night to take me on a tour with the scooter. He rides a big BMW touring bike. It’s kind of awesome. I haven’t had a chance to ride the scooter since I got it home. It’s tough seeing it sit there in the yard not being able to be ridden because of a lack of a license. But now, out we went. It was dark now, so the riding was different. Not being able to see the road too far ahead is nerve racking. The thought of an animal coming out of the side of the road and into my path was unsettling at least. We road the back roads for about 45 minutes, and then we went to the high school to do practice maneuvers . That was fun, as Andy is a good instructor. Doing figure eights and u-turns was fun. Quick stops were fun too. Fifty to zero in seconds is hair raising. We had a great time, and then it was time to return home. All went well. Andy said I did great. Now I get to see my scooter sitting just waiting and wondering when I will take her out for another ride. Soon my dear…soon.
