What did you do during our summer recess?
« on: September 04, 2026, 09:56:44 PM »
I blame it on drones... 8)
Frankly, I rode less.
I kept up my photography hobby & trips to my fav little destination village.
But - for whatever reason - I used my scooters less; my truck more often.

I continued with a little activity on the Vespa forum - with my Piaggio Liberty as a foot in the door - but, let's just say, I get a different response there. Too many hall monitors? (why do you ride in the rain?, In the dark?, There are more cows and deer than people in your photos?)

 :) the Liberty has proven to be 100% bullet proof since I had it delivered in the summer of 2017. We Liberty owners on the Vespa forum have little to say. You can only expect Vespa owners to tolerate so many Liberty owners congratulating each other.  ;)

I'll circle the county if I can't find a parking place like this. Never was much good at parallel parking - even more of an adventure now that I've vision only in one eye.


Anyway - big thanks to skadamo for getting this forum up and running again. I have $ subscriptions to several things not half as much fun as this forum!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

So glad our soft playroom has reopened Stig thanks to you and Skadamo!

I’ve made the most of a glorious UK summer having almost unbroken sunshine and 6-7 weeks with next to no rain! Now wondering how to clean up a very sweat soaked leather jacket… Recently rode through a monsoon like downpour which at least washed the bug squash off it.

Had one long ride on the Triumph too when I did my annual stint on the charity relay ride which was good fun. When I’m on the laptop I’ll upload the photos. Anyway, it’s good to be back here!
