We've got a Rattler down
The Rattler went down tonight going through the toll booth....everybody is OK, but we all have a few scratches. Thank goodness I was wearing the appropriate gear, including GLOVES!!! I am gonna take a break from the scooter tomorrow, but mostly because it is gonna rain!...
Remember to be careful out there!!!

That's one of the things our MSF instructor mentioned - toll booths are some of the slipperiest places on the road! I've only been though one so far on the scoot - I kept a SmartTag on my old bike, but I'm ditching the tags at the end of the month. I think I'm going to stick one of those change holders on it somewhere instead. RMA ain't gonna keep MY money for free.

The one handed quarter toss often works,
but it sure is risky with one hand on the bars (the throttle!),
on a slick and congested bit of road (nickle bridge).
I always felt like having a handful of change stolen off the
scooter would be far less hassle than having a smart tag lifted.
When it goes up to .35 next month, that will be too
much change to be fooling with.
I've been wondering about mounting a smart tag
under the front panel of my scoot.
Figure it should be able to transceive from under the plastic.
Anyone with experience? I'll be posting mine shortly.
