Don't say winter JR. We've been out in the boat the past couple days. Hi around 70. Fishing is poor but Barb really enjoyed seeing the eagles, heron, ducks etc. It was really nice yesterday but the day before was windy and the lake was kind of rough. It is ending soon tho. They draw the lake down starting 11/15 and we have to have the boats out of the water by then.

Good luck to Zack. Barb has decided she wants to get a little 50cc to ride around here in the spring.

Yep - and why is it that the critical things are in that fuzzy area between lenses?

I went for a little ride around the lake yesterday. The bridge at the dam is closed so I did a turn around at the marina. There were a bunch of kids on bicycles just pulling in at the snack bar and 1 waved me down. "nice moped" he says. I told him it was a scooter not a moped because mopeds have pedals. The kid proceeds to ask me about my scoot - the usual stuff like how fast, what did it cost etc. He asked if I could do burnouts. I said I didn't think so. I proceeded to tell him about the engine - 250cc, DOHC, quad valve. When I told him it was fuel injected, he had to tell all his buddies. He couldn't believe a SCOOT was EFI.
Maybe a scooter rider in the future?

I'm glad I went and read the joke thread. I thought you were talking about me. Hey - along those lines, I saw on the news last night that George Bush the 1st considered Clint Eastwood for his VP running mate.
Did you see last nights news about the protesters in NYC. They showed "Motorcycle cops" who were actually riding scooters.

Ok trivia folks - where did the term shoddy come from? In the 1800's, rag pickers in England would gather scraps of wool and sell them to cloth makers to make a cheap wool cloth known as "shoddy".
I learned this last night. Remember "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang"? Guess who wrote the original book? Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books.

Zug - glad to hear it. I went to an auction yesterday where they were selling some scoots. I worried about titles but they were brand new with MCO's. The dealer was from up M/C's way. Don't know why he came all the way down here to sell them.
