This time it is a veteran software developer's means of getting out of the city, with the wife to the beach (in shortest time), to and from the office downtown (in shortest time).

Over The River And Through The Woods

Cannonball_1To Grandmother's house we went. A lovely drive it was, too, as usual. I have suggested before that Maine has no shortage of exquisitely curvacious, majestically scenic, well maintained, luxuriously deserted highways and byways. For the shortage it does have of Vespas on those roads, I offer a second solution to add to the previous one of getting some Mainers to open a Vespa shop. The second solution is for non-Mainers to participate in the next Cannonball, supplement the trip with an eighth-day leg-up to Portland, and just stay there. I mean you should move to Maine. On your Vespa. This second semi-perennial cross-country scooter adventure was originally pencilled in as a Portland-to-Portland thing (Oregon to Maine). It is currently scheduled (to be fleshed out further at High Rollers 2006) as starting September 10th near Portland, Oregon and ending September 17th in Bloomfield, New Jersey. What say we meet September 18th in Bayonne and complete the port-to-port concept?

Comments

I live the S.F Bay area (the east bay), and I see some vespas around every once in a while, I'm about 90% sure that I will sell my car and buy one, I actually have motorcycle safety class next month. But before I take the leap, I have one last thing that I just can not get over: What do you do when it rains?
