I did some work for a guy a while back that had a shop full of some nice Cushmans and Mustangs.

Congrats on 47 days sober !

2 wheels is the name of the game.

But it all means nothing without the sobreity, to that 47 days, I tip my hat.

recoveringnky · 09-11-2006, 06:19 AM

Ditto, ditto, ditto to what Hammer said!!!!!!!!! 47 days is great..doing it one day at a time is how it works!

Keep on keepin' on!

Blessings,
Kym

Was never on a scooter.
Moped, minibikes, bikes but the Vespa wasn't working when I had the opportunity. Two wheels and wind is still two wheels and wind.

don't know exactly how to post pix...but here's an attachment of a new PX150--it looks a bit like my 1966 GS.

Thanks all! For the welcome. Wind and wheels..you got it!

Congratulations. A fine collection of one day at a time.

Now we need you to get some wind for Bill and Gooch. At the moment they can't so could you gather some for them? *LOL*

Thanks for that, Kym! After this past month, I have a serious need for some knees-in-the-breeze time!

Still not up for the shovel yet, but I'm breakin' The Princess out of mothballs tomorrow morning, to go catch my regular Sunday meeting.

And for you, Scootinbabe, a belated "welcome aboard," and congrats on your two months.
