I am back

Took a break. What can I say but that this blog is for me and I don't feel compelled to write if I am not in the mood.

I went to the BMW dealer in Nashville this past Tuesday (No, not the car dealer. The motorcycle one.) Turns out that they are also a Piaggio dealer (I knew that), a Vespa dealer (I didn't know that) and a Ducati dealer (big surprise, I had no idea). After looking at the BMW's I went downstairs to see the Piaggio MP3's and I first waded into a sea of beautiful Ducati motorcycles. I drooled all the way to the back of the lower area where the Piaggio's were and found I was in for a surprise. The Piaggio scooters were also beautiful. I didn't know they had imported so many large displacement scooters into the USA. 250 and 500 cc scooters all around me. I am so glad I wasn't ready to spend lots of money. I didn't buy a new bike - I don't need one and I can't afford the burden of a motorcycle payment while Wes is still in college. But I can dream.

Peace,
Doug
