Hi All, Just a short update on life on a scooter after 19 days of ownership, riding, and having fun. Lots of people have asked me aren't you scared riding in traffic? Yes, riding a scoot can be dangerous and it takes concentration and training to be safe. I have owned motorcycles off and on all my life. I attended a Motorcycle safety course with my last bike due to the time interval between ownership and I plan on going again with my scoot. The course was fun, informative, and made me a better rider. As a retired Commercial pilot I know the value of recurring training and my scoot is no different. I have discovered I am a better rider than driver because I am not laid back in a leather bucket seat with the radio rocking out, answering my cell, or fiddling with the GPS. I am way more in tuned with the road, traffic and all that is going around me. I leave room for the cage drivers, always have an out if someone should shoot into my lane or pull out in front of me. I have 400 hundred miles on my scoot now and while the journey is just beginning I am learning and enjoying every day.
Take care, Chuck
