I FINALLY RECEIVED MY LIC. PLATE FOR THE SCOOTER. LOOK OUT MOHAVE VALLEY HERE I COME!
THE FIRST TRIP WAS TO SMITH’S GROCERY STORE WHERE I DO MY BANKING. I TOOK THE BACK STREETS ALL THE WAY AND STAYED OFF HWY 95.
THE SECOND TRIP WAS TO FOLLOW A BLACKTOP ROAD THAT WENT ON FOREVER, WITH NO SUNDAY TRAFFIC, AND ENDED UP AT A LAND FILL.
THE THIRD TRIP, I WAS GOING TO ACT LIKE A REAL BIKER AND HEAD UP TO OATMAN FOR A BEER. I GOT ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN AND REALIZED WITH ALL THIS PRACTICE AND FOOLING AROUND THAT I WAS ABOUT OUT OF GAS. I DID A U-TURN AND HEADED BACK TO TOWN FOR A GAS STATION.
NOW I’M SMILING, ONLY 1.2 GALLONS TO TOP OFF THE TANK. THE TANKS HOLDS 1.6 GALLONS, I LEARNED THAT WHEN THE GAS GUAGE GETS TO EMPTY THAT I HAVE ABOUT 35 MILES LEFT. THE REALLY GOOD NEWS IS THAT I GOT 95 MILES TO A GALLON!!!
I THINK THE NEW HONDA SCOOTER AND I ARE GOING TO GET ALONG JUST FINE, AND WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE MY NEW “DON’T RUN-OVER MY ASS” YELLOW RIDING JACKET.
“SUNNY & 98”

95mpg! holy cow! That is great. I got a little ride in on my bike yesterday as I was putting the snowblower on the tractor and re-arranging the garage for winter. Now the bike is pouting against the back wall......
