I hit 10K on my 2009 Buddy! Yippee!
This weekend I did a super fun ride. Started at the Ocean, went up and over a mountain and had lunch in the desert. The mountain was only at 4k feet and in 17 miles of super tight and very windy twisties at a very steep angle, we got down to sea level again and when from 55degrees to 85degrees. It was so much fun! I hit 10k miles somewhere along the La Jolla Indian reservation.
This is from about 3950ft, look off into the distance - there's a patch of civilization out in the desert and that's where we found lunch:
this is us infront of the Ranchita Yeti (I'm the cute one on the end in a white corazzo):

Yes, the shop keep at the Ranchita store was very helpful in the picture taking. He insisted all women had to get an "attacked by the Yeti" pic and that I need to crouch under the hands and look up scared. Of course he didn't zoom in so it looks like i'm doing something else to the Yeti. Joke was on me:

Congrats, looks like a great ride!
You're racking up the miles pretty quickly.

Schweeet! Congrats! I'm about 250 miles from hitting 10k myself and have been looking forward to posting!
by the way - my wife is a member of the La Jolla indian tribe and her folks still live on the res - just below Mt. Palomar.
I met my wife at Palomar Hospital and all 3 of our kids were born there!

I'm lucky that I can scoot year round and have a terrific set of scoot friends willing to get out and scoot at any time. It's my only means of transportation, too, so there's that. My commute is only 14 short miles round trip, though, so many of these miles are about exploring.kneil67@yahoo.com wrote:awesome i had to take a double take on your miliage wow

Wow, you almost never see MP3's around here. Only once in a blue moon. They're just not that popular in this area.jijifer wrote:yeah, in the San Diego Scooter Squadron (the name of our meetup where I met all these fine scooterists) we have about 10 MP3 riders. Zandro's on a 250. Most of them upgraded to 500.Irishrover wrote:Gosh!! you guys have MP3's over there also.
