Modern Vespa

I will be cheering you on!

Indeed, and if you join the Amerivespa Thursday morning "long ride" you can join the Cannonball riders for the last leg. Or if you are riding into NOLA you can join everybody on the inbound leg at Abita Brew Pub. The return to New Orleans is scheduled for 4:00 PM

That's exactly the view I saw the last time I flew into SFO. Magnificent. Wish I were there...

Good luck everyone! See you in NOLA!

Trailerinabag.com. Their website was down on Monday but you can get their phone number from the Google cached version. We actually have the double trailer but here iris configured as a single nice thing is when we get to Hyder 10-15 minutes after unloading it is disassembles and in the back of the SUV. No need for trailer parking or pulling an empty trailer back.

Today was much less eventful. Trailer lights fixed without having to resort to anew one from Wally World, clear skies and smooth roads. Later I'll post a couple photos. Did discover cable is out at our Colorado house so we are sitting at Ollie's sipping Breckenridge Vanilla Porter from a nitrogen tap waiting for a Philly style cheese steak. Have a tracking number for my K66 tire to arrive tomorrow and have an idea on how to reattach my windshield so visit to Lowes while we wait for FedEx tomorrow.

Best of luck to you guys

I'm massively jealous

Wish you were going to be there as well. I'm hoping y tire arrives early tomorrow so we have time to stop and use the camera onthe way up. Who knew I maybe inspired todo some tier portraits but I not likely to be as good as yours.

Good luck friends.

Ride fast.

Stay sharp.

Sleep all you can.

Arrive in one piece.

Judy- SPOT service doesn't cover Hawaii... believe me, I tried for over 2 hours to check in while I was packing stuff the Sunday night before I left. So my first check in was when I was in San Diego.

Right now I'm in Vancouver WA. We drove for over 12 hours from Woodland CA yesterday to make it here a day early. Got to sit in a 2 hour long traffic jam on the I5 because the freeway had been closed down to a single lane and I guess traffic just bottlenecked. At least it was pretty.

My netbook still isn't working. I was able to download antivirus software to a thumb drive and then install it, run it, and clean up some of the stuff, but now the damn thing won't even start up. I'm frustrated that I might will have to go and buy a new laptop which means a hefty CC Bill when I come home. But hey, at least Oregon is right across the river and I can take advantage of their lack of sales tax.
*shameless plug* (btw, still offering those metal prints for sale if anyone is interested in helping me defer this unforseen cost and have a cool picture to hang on your wall in your scooter cave or display on your desk at work to make sure everyone knows just how much you love Vespas.)

We're starting to become expert scooter loaders... The windshield is covered in bug guts right now.

Ol' Whitey rides again! And will get to retire in Hawaii one of these days.

Scoot arrived safely to Portland, OR

I'm just across the river right now! Are you riding the rest of the way up?

A 20 year old dry erase board drawing my aunt has that I just saw today. Looks like it was just drawn yesterday!

According to FedEx my tire has arrived in Denver and is being sorted onto a truck to arrive here later today. Internet is out at my house called Comcast who say " hardware issue, we can sed someone Rhurs" yeah right, I Effie hate Cocast. New modem after two weeks if hassle in Jan. I really need an alyernative but there isn't anything better inBreck.

Off to Lowes after my coffee so we will be ready to roll when FedEx arrives.

Eventually I will start riding north. Today I am exploring the Portland area since I have never been here before. Tomorrow it is Canon Beach, Astoria, and Olympia. I start riding true north on Friday.

I'm not picking favorites or anything because I wish everyone a safe and fun Cannonball but...hey Yanobobano...

Yano woot. How are things? Did you get the computer fixed. Hopefully you got everything done. Say hi to dad for me. Excited. Haven't missed much. Rained like a MF sunday. Worst thunder i've ever heard here. Rained 4in an hour!!! My power went out for 2hrs. Pun'a'lu'u got swamped. who knew there was a waterfall by the side of the road before Kahana park going your way. Safe travels my friend. CD glad you got the tire. 8)

Hopefully you are planning to go North on US101 from Astoria to Aberdeen then East to Olympia. That is a fun ride as long as the weather is dry.

If you are a beer drinker - You are in paradise there... (Don't miss Cascade Brewery - though there are a lot of other excellent places besides just them. Japanese Gardens are pretty spectacular too...

I don't want Feb31st to win, I just want him to finish.

I have a vested interest in this scooter and rider.

Unfortunately, there is no fix other than to wipe the thing and reinstall a new OS. I will be going to buy something today after we swap out the rear tire and finish installing all the bits and bobs I had to mail to my aunt's house.

Light speed is too slow! We'll have to go ludicrous speed!
I am a big fan of Spaceballs.

oh..?

You'll be hitchhiking to JFK if I don't!

I'll have to show bit of leg then.

Bring that kilt. You will get rides faster.

Bill was stumped when I asked him if he'd considered a Plan B.

Yeah I may not do that again or maybe....

Hehe

He tried that but said it didn't taste very good.

Probably end up growing boobs from it. But that's another thread.

I like the idea of an emergency contraceptive.

Paging Dr Beat.

You don't need to be getting pregnant Bill. That will just ruin your figure.

In that case just install Ubuntu on the one you have. I mean, if you have to start over may as well ditch windows.

Yes the figure 8.

The kilt will come to NOLA for a fee.

Bill x

I got this for free.

Oh Happy Days.

Edit - If anyone apart from Rick knows what the 103 refers to they get a special prize.

Even prepared with knee pads... Spectacular 8)

Rollergirl knee pads I'd like to add.

A very kind person from MV sent them to me.

Everything about this picture is both wrong and right and wrong.

But right.

I've posted this in the Amerivespa thread but I have a room to share at the Hilton in NOLA from the 12 to the 16th if anyone wants to go halves.

pm me.
