Here's my lovely ride parked with a view of Long's Peak. I completed my first ride to Boulder today (13 mile drive, kept mostly to roads under 50 mph.) And I passed my motorcycle driving test, which means no more riding dirty!

It felt terrific today, a day of firsts for me and my scooter... First time over 55mph, first time riding in the town of Boulder (which is much more scooter friendly than Longmont where I live), and first time I finally have my endorsement. And that's when I found this quote ...
“Drive a scooter for even a little while, and she becomes strangely yourself, yourself grown swift and powerful and untiring. In turn, you feel what she feels - a quirk in the wind, a difference in the road surface, the rise and fall of the land - and her sounds become like the noises of your own body, her vulnerability becomes your own.”
On a day like today, it feels more like it found me.
I found it at the terrific site here...

He is a regular poster here on these forums, I think. The quote is from this book
