10,000 Miles

Ready for anything.

The Beverly is fine.  Due to who-had-what-vehicle-when issues I had to truck the bike home from my grandparents in Gentry.  Note the ratchet straps are on the back of the bike and that I backed it in.

I ended last season with just under 10K on the odometer.

Doing the math, I've saved:
Over 61 metric tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere
Over 350 gallons of gasoline or 17.5 barrels/735 gallons of crude oil
Over $1,000 in my fuel costs
...and I've had a blast doing it.

From a blogging perspective, I believe BV 250: the next chapter of scooting has come to a close.  If you absolutely can't live without these posts, I am considering a mixed blog that features stories from my other hobbies - sailing, SCUBA, scootering, and more. 

Thanks to the readers for the kind words.

In the meantime, watch out for motorcycles - I will ride on.

Patriotism

Your SUV has room for Osama.

Cabin Fever

Me before I quit smoking.

We had a long rainy fall that shaved off more than usual of my riding season. I also did some traveling for work (Twin Cities, Hotlanta) that took a couple weeks. So, the Bev has been garaged for months now and may be for a couple more. The past couple days have brought a cold front with record breaking low temps (oF). So, with riding out of the question, here's some fun stuff I've come across on the 'net -

Concept Bikes (I'll take the Beamer and a current will)

And don't do this - (though I can see how her thought process went)


If you didn't get the memo - Vespa of the Ozarks is in it's new larger location across from the Rogers Walmart - check 'em out.
