Or even so, did it take a second to register? It was just kooky for me. My first thought was, "Hmm. Is this the first sign of of a seizing engine?" And that was for a couple of reasons. One, I wasn't actually, conciously pushing the scoot at that very moment, though since I was going down hill I suppose I probably was and two, there was that fleeting thought of where my oil level might have gone (nowhere very far as it turned out). Uh oh. This is turning into a scooter chat thread instead of a Ride thread. Oh well. And yes: Jaded is in good form tonight. Har! |

No dude you're totally right. I looked at the itinerary and thought, this is 1. Then I sent Vinicio a txt asking and he said avenue. So I put that. Oh well.
I've already run the video twice through iMovie.... total PITA - takes forever to process. First try called him 'Patric' and that just seemed mean fixed it, reran, reuploaded... I'll just append a comment saying it's actually 1 |
