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. ROFL emoticon

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.

Glad to hear that you are riding again.
We all get a similar smile when we get out on a nice day...or any day.

Thats really good news. Don't know why you were off the saddle in the first place but getting clearance to fly again is the best news you can get. Enjoy and keep that smile.

It is a WooHoo!!! I read about your accident and dilemma about purchase of a 300. The Woot/fart sounds will become familiar and especially when strangers mention it to you ... do as I do ... say, it is trying to tell you, you need to keep riding it rather than let it rest. The more it woots/farts ... the more it needs to be ridden. Razz emoticon
