Ha ha Bob - but not a Vespa - a Yamaha! You don't think I would change brands that easily do you? Even on a borrowed scooter... and the model is Vino - what could be better than Yamaha Vino?
You're right Jon, would love to catch up with more people but time is short and wandering outside the confines of the Beltway is pretty much out of the question on the little Yam. Even getting out to Germantown felt like it should have been a weekend trip!
Missing the Tenere badly, she's under a cover in Reading, UK. It's now been determined, with Bob's help, that she has a bent rear subframe, so fixing that is at the top of the list of things to do when I get back. Not from crashes mind you, just from multiple tipovers (which I don't count as crashes). Could have happened as far back as Mexico and I just didn't notice. But now I've found a crack in it, I need to do something about it.
