This is when I get behind in my readings.<br /><br />I liked your idea of the camping and foam mat, and also a 2nd scoot for BRW. I am thinking upon similar lines which I will write about soon. Excellent idea for an upgrade to the 250cc, however keep the 110cc for "you know who"<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14805736@N04/" rel="nofollow">My Flickr</a> // <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bobskoot" rel="nofollow">My YouTube</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888968893921743236.post-572522670483064212012-05-04T18:08:13.431-04:002012-05-04T18:08:13.431-04:00You know, we hadn't thought about a separate s...You know, we hadn't thought about a separate scooter. Perhaps because we have so much fun bantering back and forth while en route. "Bump ahead!", "Great turn", "Need a rest stop, soonest" and other quips back and forth are great fun - at least to us.<br />Then again, the BRW may like it. Last summer she rode herself to work quite a few times and came home just as happy as a clam at high tide.<br />HMMMMM...<br />Agreed, that poor weather is motel time. I spent enough time tenting in the rain.

There is just something about fresh baked bread. <br /><br />Not sure what to suggest about the sleeping pad not fitting. Has your BRW thought about her own scooter? You can carry much more on two. <br /><br />I agree that camping is much more frugal than the price of motels now days. Just think of how many more miles you can ride without having to pay the hotel bills. There are times when I prefer a motel, but usually just when the weather is really poor or it has been a really long ride and I need a real bed to sleep in.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888968893921743236.post-28124120169062079822012-05-04T08:15:07.588-04:002012-05-04T08:15:07.588-04:00The bread IS to die for, as they say.
