365 Days of Scooters: Day 56
Yesterday got away from me. After a very long day, I just didn't make it back to a computer by the end of it. So forgive me for posting day 56 a day late!
Roadtrips have been on our minds a lot lately...where might we go...if we'll take a scooter...or two...

Scooter swag! This is one of my favorite quirky ones--the Pink Panther and pink neon--what's not to love!

365 Days of Scooters: Day 50
Finally, the snow is receding. Kind of makes me want to find a warm fuzzy scarf and go for a ride...

I have a thing for badges. Here's one you don't see everyday.

365 Days of Scooters: Day 48
I don't know about you, but I am so ready for a road trip. If you're planning one anytime soon and happen to be the Pittsburgh area, I'm happy to recommend Isaly's (in West View).

365 Days of Scooters: Day 47
After more than a week battling snow, and a long day battling its aftermath on the commute to and from work, I'm feeling ready for spring. It will be here one of these days...

365 Days of Scooters: Day 46
So I'm thinking I probably should have posted something red yesterday (in honor of Valentine's Day and all), but I didn't. So I'll post something sexy and red today instead!

365 Days of Scooters: Day 45
Ode to the smallframe!
I'm planning to ride this little blue wonder in the Corsette come June. It runs pretty well (knock on wood), so cosmetics and accessories are what we're tinkering with. We picked up a mirror, spare tire, seat and spare tire holder at the Scoot Richmond Garage Sale last month and Ryan took some time today to get the spare tire operational. Woo hoo!

365 Days of Scooters: Day 41
I haven't seen our scooters in days--they're buried behind (or under) at least three feet of snow. Rumor has it they look something like this...

365 Days of Scooters: Day 39
We continue to be buried in snow and rumor has it more is on the way tomorrow. Time to look back to warmer days and summer road trips...
During the summer of 2006, Ryan and I set out to have our pictures taken with all 50 University of Maryland turtle statues. Located across Maryland (with one in D.C.), we visited them ALL over six days, traveling 665 miles by car or scooter (using three different scooters actually).

The snow has stopped, but it (and our scooters) is not going anywhere anytime soon...

365 Days of Scooters: Day 37
We've measured 30" in some places and the snow is still coming down. This scoot is not going anywhere anytime soon!
365 Days of Scooters: Day 36
Drat! I completely forgot to post yesterday. I blame the media. They'd been telling us a blizzard was coming, so I got distracted. Alas, they were right...it's a sea of white outside my door, so here's a bit of green.

365 Days of Scooters: Day 32
Today's ode is to my trusty (sometimes) Stella. A 2005 with more than 12,000 on the odometer, it has definitely taken me places. It has its quirks (electrical and otherwise), but at 80 mpg and speeds up to 60 mph, it's a pretty good all around scoot.
p.s. from here on out, I can't tell what day it is along the "365 days of scooters" journey from the date alone...so please bear with me.
