Re: A sign that I am riding the scoot too much.

Not laughing now. At lunch today, three guys about 17 years old were standing looking at the Forza when I came out of the restaurant. One of them asked me...
"is that a moped?" o_O

Re: Will a Forza be the "ultimate" bike for me?

If I were purchasing a ride knowing that I wanted 2-up for long distance cruising in mountains, I too would definitely look larger than the Forza. Even solo, I found the 750cc class and up ideal for long distance cruising; certainly better than my 500/550cc class machines. Having that extra weight a...

Re: What does it take to total?

Those gravel 'marbles' are the worst. They are low on the radar, and often too hard to see before it's too late. Yesterday on my way to work I was traveling 55mph on a back-road, coming up to a turn I normally take at 40mph, but something was wrong. About 50 yards from the turn, it seemed that the p...

Re: Blessing of the Bikes; Baldwin, MI 2014

Thanks, Jim!

Yep, it's nice to have individualism, and a scooter did stand out there in that menagerie. But sometimes, it's also nice to converse with those that 'Grok' both sides of a conversation...! ;)

The Victory is really nice Yes, these are really nice bikes. The lens mm doesn't do the bike's size justice; other than a couple of other monsters here, these are definitely the largest cruisers on the road. http://redrockcomputer.com/Forza/_Baldwin/victory21k.jpg Here is one slug-of-chrome larger ...

Thanks guys! The cowboy, eh? I can tell you that he didn't stare at it and say "...wow, just look over there, a nice little red scooter!" :lol: The guy with the flag bandana is the owner and I heard the cowboy say "...yea, I heard that he did a good job, so I had to see it...". I...

Those white PCXs are really nice bikes. Your upgrades added to the class that is already designed in...cheers to that!

Hey, All-

I moved the thread to "Gallery, Pictures of your scooter, ride reports, and day trips."

Seemed like it fit better there.

Cheers!

Blessing of the Bikes; Baldwin, MI 2014

The rain that the weathermen predicted didn't come. It was replaced by some bitterly cold wind that blew throughout the weekend, but blue sky forced me out to find the Blessing of the Bikes, up in Baldwin, Michigan. A couple of past reports actually showed a Vespa attending, so I figured I probably ...

Blessing of the Bikes; Baldwin, MI 2014

Starts today. Last year, I think I read that 14,000 bikes converged on the tiny town for three days, and they said it was going to be larger this year. Taking off in one hour; forecast is for a rainy 100 mile ride, but shouldn't be too bad. We'll see, and I'll post pics!

Cheers!
