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

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.

@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...

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.
