I wanted to go for a ride but waiting on new tire install this week, just had 6000 mile service ✅ over here in NE Ohio. Thanks for a great video no matter how jealous I was!
Congratulations on your 6000 miles! A lot of people never reach that point. Waiting to get your scoot back from being serviced is no fun! Hopefully it won’t take long for you and you can be back out there ASAP. NE Ohio is a great place to ride; I had the opportunity to enjoy scooting around Cleveland last spring. Thanks for the kind words about the video and ride safe!
Fingers crossed! I have to credit our local moto shop for keeping the GTS going. Having the right gear seems to be the key for winter riding. It took me a few years to get it figured out.
Watching, my first reaction was to say what the hell were you thinking?! But then I remember the excitement, exhilaration, and sheer challenge to mind, body, and spirit riding in those conditions. Thankfully we have many, many options here for lightly trafficked routes. Hopefully you're done with scooter repairs for awhile!
Admittedly, the snow squalls caught me off guard a bit as the ride over was clear. Just like you said, though, the beauty of the falling snow was exhilarating and my new tires did a great job. My fingers are indeed crossed that it will be a while til the next round of repairs!
THANKS. Our roads in France are much narrower and much more saturated with cars than in the USA, hence the interest ( or rather the pretext 😉) of riding a Vespa ! ... See you soon for new adventures !
@@VespaRiderenPaysdAuge That makes sense. One of my favorite attributes of the Vespa is how nimble it is, especially in traffic. Thanks for following along and be safe out there!
@@heckadude It is with pleasure that I follow you and your friends. As for caution, we should point this out to all these bad drivers who travel our beautiful roads, because there are very many bad drivers here in France ... have a good weekend ! ... 🛵🏃 ...
@@heckadude21 miles the first day riding new 1970 Kawasaki G3TR 90 home, in Michigan, day after Christmas 1969. Gotta love it. I was 15, didn't even feel the snow or cold.
You’re 100% correct and I appreciate your comment. I wouldn’t typically venture out in known conditions like this, but this snow squall was not in the weather forecast. At that point, I made the decision to simply enjoy the adventure.
