Ok, I admit it: I am a
Scootaholic. I kinda miss my Harley, yes, but even more so, I really
want my Vespa! Ever since I have gotten a first taste of German byways
on my new-to-me Italian two-wheeler I have the strong feeling that I
need more. Much more, and the roads down here in the
Black Forest are simply gorgeous.
Alas,
Alonzo, my orange Vespa is tucked away in a garage about 400km away.
Also, Bella, the red Vespa and Rover, my Sporty are unavailable, still
somewhere stored in a container, and anyway will need technical
certification (TÜV) before approved street-legal.
So
naturally my attention will be easily drawn to any two-wheeler on the
road. On occasion I can be found chatting with their owners, or checking
out local dealerships, never mind the brand.
With
accelerated heartbeat I watch every motorcycle and scooter pass by,
well aware of the beautiful twisty roads that lie ahead of them. Sigh! I
need to get my scoot, stat!
Another week to go before
we will be headed North again (to deal with some more bureaucratic stuff
and) to pick up my orange companion. Patience, young Yedi!
I'm extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.

At least there is a date within reach of getting your orange scooter back.
ReplyDeleteNice quote - and fitting too.
ReplyDeleteCool picture - the second one down - love the way you framed the bike with the sculpture.
Sonja,
ReplyDeleteI can only try to imagine what you're going through :) It will happen though and in the meantime you're sharpening your observation senses.

ReplyDeleteI hope you get your Moto fix soon! Beautiful pictures! I can hardly wait to see more pics with Alonzo and more of your new place you're living. It must be hard having Rover and Bella in storage.
Strength. :) I had been off my bike for far too long, finally got riding out last weekend. Just about went nuts!!
ReplyDeleteAt least the end is in sight.
