Never thought I'd be riding scooters but it seems I'm drawn to (almost) everything on 2 wheels, willing to try most anything these days. Now, older, smaller and slower are somehow just as much fun and maybe more so.<br /><br />Hope both of you have a great New Year and that we meet out there, somewhere, long before St. Olaf.Coop a.k.a.
