I've added your blog to my links page as well and the second I figure out how to do that little sidebar thing I'll have it there too. :)The City Mouse in the Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522133156580411938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767318503668121403.post-53131082443154823042011-12-19T01:12:29.720-05:002011-12-19T01:12:29.720-05:00Robert - thank you for taking up the challenge! I...Robert - thank you for taking up the challenge! I wanted to keep it local for me because of being a new rider I think I need to gain more experience travelling longer distances and getting 'comfortable' riding on the highway. For some reason at this point going far from home seems a little daunting to me. I love to hop on my scooter or my bike and just go for moto rambles and could ride for hours. It is fun thinking of the places you want to go in your own country and then to broaden your horizons. For me being on the West Coast it is only logical that at some point I will be venturing down through Washington State, Oregon and then into California. <br /><br />You have some very pretty places to ride where you live and I look forward to seeing your pictures of your adventures! <br /><br />I bought a 50 cc scoot back in January of this year and have put 5,000 kilometres on it and probably about 2,000 on my motorcycle since I got her in September which spurred me onto taking a 2 weekend novice motorcycle course and a follow-up weekend traffic safety course. It gave me a very good footing and a better understanding of scootering and motorcycling. . <br /><br />I have been reading your blog and like you, I had some of the very same questions and concerns as a new rider. If there is anything I have definitely learned in the last 11 months is that wearing All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT) is my credo. I have also learned that buying cheap gear doesn't save you money in the end, it leaks and you spend more money on trying to be waterproof and you could have paid the extra bucks up front and been dry from the get go. I also ride within my abilities and realize there will be times that as a rider you are compromised no matter what the amount of safety precautions or ride training you have had, so you need to expect the unexpected. <br /><br />I hope you have many great adventures and rides in the coming year! I know your 2 wheeled bliss . Keep the shiny side up!<br /><br />PS I am going to add you to my blog roll.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767318503668121403.post-26714706235247224972011-12-17T11:10:25.142-05:002011-12-17T11:10:25.142-05:00Nice articles.
