New Roads

We took the Beverly to Gentry to celebrate my grandfather's 90th birthday. Clean living and physical activity in case you were wondering.

We is Robin, Oscar, and I. I removed the hard case trunk and ratchet strapped the small pet carrier in it's place. It may take a few trips for the dog to get used to it.

It was warm but windy. Robin had discovered a new route to Gentry. It's a country back roads starting in Vaughn that eventually connect to HWY 59. It's 55 mph most of the way with a couple 90 degree turns thrown in for good measure.

The country road was hard top and cut through horse ranches, cow pastures, and farmland. The landscape was like a video game it was so perfect. No litter, well-manicured, white picket fences and all. A superior route for a scooter. We even saved at least 10 minutes.

On the way home we "low waved" another couple on a motorcycle. It turned out to be Robin's friend and her husband. The next biker started flashing his lights as we approached and instead of the wave he popped a wheelie at 45 mph. It seemed reckless but I couldn't help but be impressed. We waved at a few more bikers and we even saw an MP3!

I forgot to mention that I gave another friend a ride to lunch. A co-worker that you wouldn't expect to ride felt comfortable braving a quick scoot to lunch. It was fun to share an experience with someone who may not have tried it otherwise. Good day for the BV 250.
