For the record, I am not a "newbie". I have been riding for 13 years and have ridden at least 50,000 accident free (knock on wood) miles.

I had a bad feeling twice when walking down the aisle to get married. Kept hearing this voice hollering ---run fool---run. I should have listened. Cost me money both times. Now I listen to the voices I hear in my head.

Yupper, that's what I was thinking...I was going for a ride, but I think it might be a good day to clean the Garage....not that I'm superstitious, I just don't want everyons saying "see it was Friday the 13th when he bought it". Besides the garage really does need cleaning.

Didn't want to chance it this morning so I left the scoot in the garage. We'll get her out tomorrow and ride to the mountains. I don't know how to explain that feeling but it just kinda raises the hair on the back of your neck. I respect it whatever it is.

Yep , get it to , but just like I've told my kids when teaching them to
drive a cage , "It's a jungle ,you're alone , everything is out to get you "
yeah I know that sounds hokey but being cautious to me is the most
sound advise I can give and live by !
