MAIL CALL

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......
