I have been going to Lemonstreet Brewery for several years now.

The owners, Joe and Maryn Baez have become friends.

Joe and I have been discussing a scooter ride for a while.

Yesterday he said that he wanted to go today for a lunch ride.

I put him on Rocket and we went for a forty mile ride on the rural roads north of town with lunch at Gator's BBQ.

On the way home I offered for him to keep Rocket for a few days to ride at his convenience.

I hope he will like it and ride more.

Great stuff, another rider in the fold. And very kind to lend him Rocket to ensure he keeps riding.

Good on you Bill. He needs to be careful of becoming hooked on this two wheeled Vespa stuff. It is kind of like the car dealer after checking your A+ credit rating - "Just take the car home for a few days and see if you like it". They know you will become hooked.

Weather is jumping all over the place here in Minnesota. 85 Degrees one day 51 degrees the next. Hope to get one more group ride in this Season.

What's the contingency plan if he won't part with Rocket?

Hmmmm…I hadn't considered that!

But I think I will be getting it back.

I know where he lives.
