Well the steady cold rain kept the riders away in droves from today's Blessing of the Bikes.
I suited up in heavy boots, water-proof hi viz jacket over an Icon leather, froggtogg rain pants, Pinlocked Nolan, and sprayed my leather gauntlets again with silicone water proofing and set off across town on the LIKE200iLX.
Most all of the events were cancelled....but a few gals gamely grilled, and disheartened salesmen wandered the floor of this big dealership....but there were at least 3 Christian Biker groups present and the Blessing of the Bikes went on as scheduled.
Sadly, not another scooter in sight. A few big bike riders came over and photographed my LIKE200i, and me on it......
and I am pretty certain these HD and sport bike riders thought the LIKE was a perfectly restored old Italian scooter of some sort, brought out in this driving rain by a dedicated and talented restorer.Oh well, will try to connect with scooters again next year. The KYMCO and I have been Blessed for another year (with a piece of Burgman under the seat - that scoot is now covered, too)
Apparently a lot of bikers came in their cars - and were thus Blessed as riders.
New scooter line up: Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha & Kymcos.
Big showroom of bikes....
No used scooters remaining on the floor...but this big Kawasaki was my fav used bike.
Since it was such a nice riding day I took the long way home via the reservoir.
Coming in the front door I announced,
"Louise, I think my crotch is WET !"My wife replied, "Who's Louise?!"
