Got cleared for riding my scoot again! wooooohoooo!
Funny, there was somebody at work that said they could tell I'd ridden that day by my smile. They said the smile was just a little different than it had been lately.
Even more funny - after I got home last night my partner took the dog out the garage door. She came back in and made a beeline to the back of the house to urgently tell me that I needed to go to the garage -- that my new Vespa was making horrible noises.
I had to show her the multiple threads here for her to believe me that the sound is perfectly ok.
Another day for my special scooter smile today.
