Nervous? No, but I do check my mirrors when coming to a stop now.
The scoot runs like a champ. It is very solid, runs true and quite strong. The guys did a hell of a job at fixing her up.
Now I am getting in shape for the Talimena run.

If you showed up in Eureka Springs this weekend, we would do our best to get you all bent OUTTA shape!
I bet that is all relative to which side of the computer you're sitting on.. lol.Glad to hear your back in the saddle.
Thats nothing short of amazing.It hasn't been long.
So what does SWMBO think about it? I think mine has finally realized it's something in my blood.. and with so many of my finer points.. *Cough choke* she knows this one is useless to fight.
TodTry your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
