THANK GOD for SCOOTIES!!! By daddue11 (Read 1,123 times)

Hey there friends.
It's been a while since I've posted anything on here, We've had a death in the family and things have been topsy tervy for the last month trying to get things back in order or at least a little bit of normalcy. My mother n law had a head injury from a fall and passed away and it knocked the whole family for a loop,she was dearly loved by all.
Now the good news,I finally got my wife to get on the old blue Tank and take a scooter ride with me and I saw the first signs of life in her since the accident with her mom. We went on a 40 mile trip in the country and around town and when we got back she was just beaming and the fire was back in her eyes.
I convinced her to lead the ride and take us where ever she wanted , then when we got back home I made the best Chinese dinner and desert I've ever made and we all pigged out and had a wonderful night and slept like babes.
I've often thought that I spent money on the scooters foolishly,but,now I know that it was spent wisely and I thank God that we had them because they were the key to us getting back to normal. We even rode them to the cemetary to pay our respects and place a flower on moms grave and talk about what a wonderful time we had riding and I could tell that my honey finally came to peace with it.
I recomend a scooter ride during troubled times for anyone as long as you can drive safely,it sure helped us.
Thank God for them scooties. daddue11,Steve

Great story. Thank you for sharing that with us.

My pleasure friend.

A wonderful story, Steve. A good scoot ride can certainly help you forget your problems and put a whole new outlook on life. I will transfer this to General Discussion.

Thank you my friends.
There is just something about scoots that make you feel warm and happy that you just can't get from a big motorcycle or a ride in a car,it's kinda like having a warm cuddley puppy rather than an attack dog,it's always there just for you. A good one takes you to that happy place.
p.s. I opologize for posting in the wrong section,kinda got lost.

[Cruiser]

Please don't apologize for posting in the wrong section. At least you posted and shared your experience with us.

@dadue11 - It is hard for me to think of scooter spending as unwise. Your spending, from your post, is a bargain at whatever price... My neighbors on each side - one has a $22k bass boat that he uses 10-12 times a year, and the other has a $44k Mustang GT that he drives to work, mostly on roads with speed limits of 40 mph. [sigh]
Last year, my total scooter spending, from the info I have, was about $1200 including gas, oil, insurance and 3 tires...

What a great story, sorry to hear about your loss, you have my thoughts and prayers. I glad the scooter help bring her back, there is something about scoot ride to forget your problems and even help with them.

[daddue11]

Yessir,I whole heartedly agree with that. cliftonc,thanks I needed to hear some logic like that.
Maybe it'll stop raining here now that my scoot is 3/4 broke in and I can put the economics to work for me.
