Best local brew in town, duck fat fries and Bree with Marmalade. A small town jewel

Sad day, leaving Portland and the west coast back home to the south. Been on the move scooting around since Hurricane Katrina. I will miss the scene and quality scooter people from the Rip City. Time to make new scooter friends and begin again.....

Where abouts is the next port of entry? Is always tough leaving a place, but exciting to open a new chapter in life. And with luck you can go back and reread chapters with a different perspective, and often you find those details which make it all the better.


Killer scoot though, just looks mean sitting there 😎

Thank you for your kind words and perspective, it really helps. I'm going back to Louisiana, haven't lived there since Katrina. Super excited to see how the scene has grown. First rally in March in NOLA so life isn't gonna be so bad. It'll still be frigid & possible snowing in Portland.

And my scoot is my world, so much time and effort transforming the beast.....

Absolutely, and congrats on getting back to NOLA. Absolutely love the city, few like it that are simply saturated with history as well as culture. Hope your first rally back is better than expected, willing to bet it will be!

Should of asked in my other response, but what group is hosting the ride in March? Got the sudden urge for some cafe du monde coffee and figure will a be good first long distance ride on the Liberty.

Work is cancelled due to weather being 21f and roads frozen and kids can't learn cycle training at school here in Ceredigion.
Plus I am also a pensioner and responsible adult I think so what better to do than enjoy the snow 🙂

Looks frigid! 🥶 Can't tell but, studded tires?



Fall is coming to an end, streets are full of leaves and I feel like a kid again blasting through them! Best enjoy now though, calling for snow in just a week.

Not studded but Anlas snow and mud tyres.

Hero's Work Here, but only on Tuesday

Really need to get my camera out..

I've found myself rather fond of this two wheel little shit.

I stare at Google maps to find roads I haven't been on. You can guess what I then do 🛵❤️

Slava Ukraini!

Hope our government soon will send Leopard tanks to Ukraina lately. Our Chancellor is such a sissy, it's embarrassing.

What has this statement got to do with the topic?

Keep politics out of the forum please.

My not even remotely as cool Liberty. But hey, it makes me grin 🤙

Every bit as cool man! As long as it makes ya smile, that's all that counts at the end of the day!

From one of our group rides 🛵💨💨

Some from a little ride today...

It was a chilly 45 degrees but a beautiful day to ride to work. Never a bad view from the pier.

A brisk 42 degrees (F) when I rolled up to our favorite local pizza joint last night, but sunny and dry, so can't let that kind of day go to waste.




Stone Creek Wood Fired Pizza - Olympia, WA

Kymco in front of a shop purchased by Dave Chappelle in Yellow Springs, OH.

O.S.

This was from a great Sunday ride we did with some pals, recently. Anybody recognize the location??

My baby

Out windowshopping for scooters today and came across this wall along the way:

Yesterday in Carson village PA

Daily travel this road to visit mom.


My daily ride

Just picked up et4 frame and associated parts from daughter's and the car she sold back to mum now she's quit driving living in Nottingham and I shall make a rat scooter up with all the bits i got left which includes a skipper engine on 12" wheel a 150 top end and a GTS front wheel with a new tyre on.
Only one problem I have to babysit the grandchildren or daughter will tell mum I have another scooter which she doesn't know about yet
Tripod the dog likes it.

grahamlml,

If you bring that rough frame back to life, you are a miracle worker.
Do you good folks in the United Kingdom ever throw anything away?

Just kidding, good luck.

Hi Bob,
If I throw anything away you can bet your bottom dollar it would come in handy a few weeks later even after keeping it for 20 years

Riding my Liberty out amongst the longhorns in West Texas.

From a few weeks back before winter number 5 arrived… think that was the last winter of the season so hoping I'll be riding more often shortly

My little ET4 in front of the F/V Alaska Ocean. If you've ever had McDonald's Filet O Fish it was probably caught by this beauty.

Quick trip to a nearby lake here. Still cold here in Holland but getting better everyday! Was good to be out riding again after weeks and weeks of rain
