Goodbye Scooter, Hello Motorcycle!


After a summer of fun on the blue scooter, reality set it...it is really, REALLY slow in the mountains (only 50cc). Eric rode it to work everyday, going only 10-15 mph up the hills, so he started looking for a more powerful scooter or a motorcycle. At the end of August, the right motorcycle appeared on craigslist in Denver and the owner was coming through Santa Fe on their way to Arizona. So Eric sold the scooter in the local lemon lot and has been driving his motorcycle to work everyday. It gets the same amazing gas mileage, no one honks at him during the commute to the lab, and it is a blast for us when we can have a little date!

Oh I love you- you funny bird!
Hot couple on the motorcycle and all the babes asleep are priceless.
Your life is good.

Hmm, the choice of motorcycle is always about preference. Some people want the bigger bikes, while others just want a small bike to scoot around town. It’s just a matter of choice. For you, though, that choice of a bigger motorbike is definitely the right one. You can easily speed uphill with that two-wheeler. And it has some pretty good looking dirt tires too!

Regards,
Hannah

I think so, a motorcycle is more ideal than a scooter especially if you are looking for speed. Good choice for Eric! Now, both of you can have a good ride on your dates! Keep safe!
