Scooter smells
« on: July 03, 2019, 11:27:58 AM »
I get a lot of different smells when I'm out on my scooter riding in the sticks at sunrise.
Bacon!...most mornings as I pass a certain farmhouse.
New-cut alfalfa is a favorite. Hay & mowed berm grass. In the winter it's wood smoke and cow poop.
My daughter laughed at me when I told her that there is a section where I smell Frito corn chips nearly every morning. I slowed in the truck, asked her to roll down her window and "think Fritos!" as we passsed an area of roadside vegetation.
"See?" !
Always warm diesel when I cross over I-70.
Sometimes.....rain coming.
And, after applications of ACF-50, I  smell it cooking in (off?) at a stop.

Lots of reasons to enjoy a rural sunrise scooter ride.

Just remembered another: drier sheets - in the neighborhood.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Yet another benefit of scooter over car travel.
The only times I don't appreciate being exposed to smells are behind diesel vehicles and fresh roadkill.
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here
