A Beginning

And, so it begins. I know I will write about my adventures on my SYM Symba named Billie. I suspect my adventures with skateboard and Big Stick will also find a place here.

It has been just over a year since I purchased a 49cc scooter. I had no idea the impact this would have on my life. I now have a slightly bigger bike, a 101cc SYM Symba. I call her Billie.When I ride I seem to access a part of my brain that is unavailable to me at other times. It is more like the brain that was available to me at all times before my head injury. I'm not complaining about my "new normal", but it is a delight to visit something akin to my "old normal." This weekend Billie is parked. She has some small mechanical issues that can't be addressed until the beginning of the week. I'm antsy. I don't like being without a bike. Ironically, I often don't ride much on the weekends anyway. I ride more during the week. My weekends bring time to land paddle, inline skate, and be with my sweetie. But there is something about not having the option that makes me want to scoot, scoot.

Oh well, it gave me time to make a humble beginning on creating a blog. I have little idea where this is going to lead but the first step has been made.

  3. Hi and welcome to the world of blogging. It is a great way of keeping in touch with people and for expressing what is happening in your life, but it can become very addictive! Your bike Billie is very much like the first bike I owned 37 years ago and I learned much from that bike. I am pleased that you have a wonderful life and that motorcycling is part of it. Ride safe!

  4. Gary: Thanks for stopping by. My wee chariot seems to bring back lots of memories to many people. She has her limitations, but for the urban riding I do she is wonderful. Safe journey to you and thanks for letting me tag along on your adventure.
