Scooter Tag

The Easy Peasey Scooter Posse has a game of scooter tag in progress. What you do is take a picture of your scooter in front of something and post it. Then you have to find the spot they took their picture and take a picture of your scooter in front of it. Then the person who found the tag posts a new one. Today I finally got one. I have been trying for weeks to get one. This is the picture I posted. I don't know what I did with this picture, but it looks really cool. The sun was doing some crazy things.

Actually, I think the purpose of this post was just to show off Dixie again.

Getting ready for Halloween

Last year Wyatt and Maple chose to dress up as Wyatt Earp and a ballerina for Halloween. This year when I asked them about it they didn't know what to do. They asked me to solicit ideas from my friends. If you have any good ones please let me know and I will pass them along.

Got Dixie back with the new windshield. When I brought her out to take a picture my Vino, Blue Savannah insisted on being photographed also. I need to get her out on the road soon. She is so cute and so much fun to ride that I don't think I will ever be able to part with her. I spoke to the owner of the scooter shop about the Kymco. He liked how I placed my rear view mirrors,(more vertical than horizontal), so I asked him about them. He said that he spoke to Kymco about extending the mirrors a couple of inches. Kymco said that in Taiwan they have to park in very tight spaces. If the mirrors were extended they wouldn't be able to. He said he suggested telescoping shafts. I think that sounds like a great idea. I added a small round blind spot mirror to my left mirror and am very happy with it. The temperature was 37 degrees when I woke up this morning. I am going to wait a couple of hours and then go for a ride. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day,

Wyatt also wanted to get in on the action. He is thinking that I need to add a sidecar.

Dixie's first service

I dropped Dixie off at the shop yesterday for her first service. I am anxious to see if there is any difference in her after the service. They are also going to add a windshield. I struggled with the decision of whether to get one or not. I'm not really into adding a lot of mods to the scooter. She is beautiful just the way she is. But I really want to be able to ride her as much as possible year round and thought the windshield may help. I have a friend who rides a sports bike and he highly recommended it. The shop that I bought her from also said they would install anything at no charge up until the first service. When I get her back I will post a picture. It is supposed to be rainy the next couple of days so I don't know that I will get her back for a couple of days.
I miss her already.

Vacation

Just got back from vacation last night. We went to Wilmington, NC for a few days of rest and relaxation. The weather was terrific. We discovered Kure Beach the 2nd day there, and went back for another visit. As you can see in the picture, we almost had the beach to ourselves. I saw so many scooters. I really wished I were able to bring Dixie. Today I drove 95 KM and had a great time. It is surprising to me how much more comfortable I feel on it the more I drive it. I went to Zoot Scoots and bought a windshield. When I take it in for its first tune up they are going to install it at no charge. Hopefully the windshield will make it a little more comfortable to ride in the winter months.
