Well football season has started, the kids are back in school and we've hit the fall side of the Labor Day Weekend. Looks like Fall is officially on it's way. Admittedly, around Atlanta, it's hard to tell it's fall when the temperature is still in the mid 90's well into September, but that doesn't change the fact that it is coming.
Now I'm more or less recovered from the cold that drove me to actually drive the cage to work, but I really haven't done any recreational riding. I am really hoping to change that in the coming weeks, with events like Deliverance 6 coming up, in addition to the various clubs around the city organizing rides now that summer vacations the opportunities to get out with the group are back on the upswing.
I also hear rumor that the AJC is putting together a scooter piece with the upcoming Deliverance rally, which I hope to get some exposure for the OTP clubs running around the area.
But all of that pales, because with the fall comes the October foliage in the mountains. This is my favorite time of the year. I love to grab my camera and go out and shoot all the fall color, and there is no better way to do this than from the scooter.
As for the commute, it's still good and the longer I do it, the less I want to return to a car. To the point where I'm seriously considering selling my car, but that puts me in a mind for those occasions when I have to pick up one of the kids from an activity. They aren't comfortable with riding, and I will not force the issue, so while I may sell the car, I'm thinking that I'll replace it with a SMART fourTwo if they ever actually ship. Until next time.
