New Years Resolutions?

Post by still shifting »

Scooter oriented or otherwise, scooting farther (if not Faster) and assuming that they Don't see me. And in the non scoot area, to walk % miles a day. That is something over 10,000 steps. What is in your resolutions?

Diet as of tomorrow. I have a new riding jacket in my closet that fits me like a glove. I plan to have it fit loosely by spring time

Save for the Vespa 946. I wonder if it can be fitted for a px type glovebox? So far so good....

Only one, and the same as last year. To personally improve my scoot's performance.

This is a good one. I have been pretty fortunate by staying out of cagers' blind spots, driving VERY defensively, expecting that cagers' will make bonehead moves, etc, and haven't had many close calls recently. Yesterday I had one guy change lanes into me when I was right next to him, and another lady pull out of a shopping center right in front of me. Assuming that they don't see me saved me both times.

Amen!

I seem to have a penchant for murdering zippers on my jackets. My M corrazo was very snug, so...

time to burn off the holiday fat!

To not buy another scooter until I sell at least two of the ones I have now. And yes...I almost broke it Jan 4.

Ah, I'll bet you'll have this busted by month's end. :wink:

I'm resolving to get one bike running per month. And no, they don't all have to be mine. :D
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

I don't have any scootery resolutions for this year... that part of my life has no room for improvement. :)

I do have a couple scootery plans though:
1) A 5-day trip hiking along the Manistee River and riding the Old Mission Peninsula. That's picking up a bit of an earlier ride I had to skip to fix a broken brake handle, and also sort of a practice run for...
2) A 12-day trip riding up to the western UP and hiking Isle Royale for a couple days. That will finish my tour of Michigan and also give me a brief visit to my favorite national park.
