So how far do you ride on a typical morning from home to YS then?  Seems it takes around an hour?

Yeah, a little more, or a little less....I have a couple different routes. After storms I avoid the route through so many tree covered roads.  Even with the very good lighting of the Liberty dark wet branches can be hard to spot.
Another route has the rough pavement which I figure is eating my tires.....but more open spaces and less overhanging trees.
Another is a full wot route straight down a 70 then 55 mph state Rt. which will get me there in @ 40 mins. Early mornings it is manageable with light traffic.
I roll out @5:30 and am back to my driveway by 8:30 on the very cold days (I'm never inside except for 10mins at Dino's)...about 9:30 or so on typical wet or warm days.
That three hour scooterin' 'fix' will "do me right" for a couple of days...

On the Forza and Burgman I'd often go a completely different route - ending up at a distant, rural, McDonalds for a coffee outside, or Tim Horton's outside.
Can't remember the last scooter ride where I sat indoors.

Except when my daughter drives us to the Underdog for breakfast. We went two days ago. The jazz band joined us at noon. Reg. Weds thing.


I picked up my coffee from Dino's, she got an expresso/steamed milk from the Dog.
But then trespassed into my Dino's with her muffin.


Muffins, all baked goods, from the Dog are all-natural locally sourced, gluten-free things made from wood pulp and leaves. Actually these blueberry/lemon things were surprisingly good.

I mentioned to my daughter that, in the 60's and maybe the early 70's she would have been just one of the 4 or 5 young gals in here with long hair and a turtle-neck.
She said, "Yeah, but they would have been wearing bell-bottoms, not skinny jeans!"

Always the pithy rejoinder with them isn't it?
