Update (Oy)

I'm neglecting this here bloggie, I know.

Truth is, there's not a lot of joy in cold-weather scootin'... but I'm committed. :)

Anywhoo! Some handy news you (Dear Scooterist) can use!

Having trouble with tailgaters? Yes, I do the left-hand low, palm facing aft, gently pushing. But here's one that's a hell of a lot more effective for me, in Gnashvegas, anyway: Spank the rear fender with your left paw, as if you were "whipping" a horse, urging it to go faster (h-YAH!). It's never failed me. I can imagine that it causes the tailgater to laugh, and then realize that I'm going as fast as I can! :) It has the desired effect, at any rate.

Over 5K Miles, Now

... on the Vino.

Cold scootin', these days.

Just figured: It takes me 15 minutes at work to pay for my week's gasoline. 15 minutes.

Almost Want Cold Weather

... so I can try these puppies out. sittenpretty sent 'em to me (She Who Safeguards The Kymco)! I bet they will rawk the fingers to warmth.

Apologies for shitty photo -- my Canon doesn't focus well on dark/black objects unless they're brightly illuminated. They're Gordini mittens... dunno the model; style sez 2M3004, Men's large.

James! Sell Me Some $h1+!

Yo, dood! Yo!

I was gonna call ya from work today, but got busy.

I'd like to order some tires for the Vino 50. They're both 80/90-10 35J (whatever the hell that means). I'll call ya about what I'd like to get (something taller, something "stickier," maybe whitewalls), and find out how much you folx will charge for mounting/balancing, etc. I'd like to do this by month's end, if possible.

Also need to talk to ya about a bigger scooter, for this spring/summer. I want your pitch on something 250cc+ (I'm looking at Bergmans, Majestys, etc.). I think I wanna try interstates.

Also, any ideas for storage for the Vino 50 that don't block the fuel inlet. :)
