Introduction to our Scoot!

Greetings From Cory and Jana.

Jana and I have been riding my Yamaha Riva XC180 all summer and it has been a great summer to do so. The weather has been perfect. So we love scooters now. We have decided to buy another scooter and after considering many models because of our height and weight, I decided that the Honda Spacy/Elite CH250 would be the right bike for us.

So I started to search for an old Honda and found out that they are highly collectible and rather hard to find. It seemed as though we would have to travel to find one. So the idea of getting a scooter out of the state and riding it back to Michigan was discussed.

For some reason, Minneapolis had more offerings that many other cities, and since Jana's brother Mike and his wife Stephanie live there, we would be able make sure that the bike we buy is running properly before we head out on the road.

To make a long story short, I found a bike in Zimmerman, MN and we are going out there by train this Tuesday to pick it up, switch out the rubber, tune it up, and ride out over a few days taking some scenic back roads, stopping along the way at landmarks that we find, and of course enjoy some famous foodie spots along the way.

This is our travelogue...

I grew up 15 miles from Zimmerman and was there last week. Enjoy the trip. The fall colors were just starting a week ago so hopefully you will have a beautiful drive!

If you take (2 trainies and 1 train) + (two scooties and 1 scooter) what is the result of the equation.

make sure that when you are scooting you wear orange because you would not want to be mistaken for a local delicasy...
