….for a couple days only, until the shippers came for the Burgman to start its 2,500 trip to the west coast.

(the Burg had cool mirror extender - see the small joint on stem, from U.K. motorcycle shop; adjustable levers; French Ermax sport screen; 3M red reflective pin-striping. A hunk of a scooter @ 500lbs)

Just going thru some old photos.

Yes, but it was and is a beautiful bike. I loved riding mine. I just wished that they had given it a larger rear wheel. Otherwise, it was and is a great riding machine. I did not hesitate to take mine on the freeway.

Bless you. What are your family doing when you are taking the interminable pictures of your scooters.


I’m suspecting they are having a great time.

Since I'm usually back home by 8:30 AM, they are usually eating breakfast in their jammies.. ..or still asleep.
Sometimes there is time to change out of the gear and still take the pup for a 3 mile trot (her, not me) at the reservoir....and they're still sleeping.
I've been getting up at 5:30 AM for quarter of a century.

So did I, but when I retired I gave myself a gift...more bed time. Sleep is nice. The first few days after I retired were an adjustment. We would get up and get dressed, drink some coffee, and .... and then we would look at each other and wonder what we were going to do between then and when traffic died down enough to go riding. Between 6:45 AM and 9:45 AM we have a hard time getting out of our subdivision because of the crazy drivers who ignore the lights.

Now, we just get up later and have less time to wait for the craziness to die down.
