| Kind of depends on how OCD you actually are. 3 to 10K may be really lowballing the obsessive nature of some. A couple years worth of therapy could help some... |

| Well, it is a toss up. Fresh air and sunshine, or Nurse Cratchitt's seductive leg crossing as she asks if I have any fresh fruit phobias. Hmmmmmm. So far I guess it's 50/50. I'm still on the fence. Jeff. |

| So a Dr/therapist keeps his or her sanity with " Scooter Therapy " ? Do you prescribe that for your patients, Hammy? Well then.......... could a scooter be a cure for the irrational desire to take up dressing like a Scot, and wearing a Kilt? Comfortable, stylish, but what of the wind effect? Jeff. |

| Jeff, nothing irrational about it, but please do add some gaiters and straps to keep said kilt and certain unmentionables from flapping in the breeze, or bystanders and fellow motorists might suffer some psychological trauma! And if anyone mentions wearing a little helmet, shame on you for having your mind in the gutter. |

| Ah......Accenttherapy. Always makes me feel better to ride and recite outloud, the famous Monty Python sketch......"Scooter Repairman"......in a heavy Devonshire accent! " See how he uses that Spanner ". I think that I'm making some progress,Doc. Oops, sorry, I dropped my thimble. |

| Hi Waspie. Your answer has only one question. Why do we ride? For sport, utility, [therapy] to relieve stress etc..... Is riding Theraputic? Ok, thats sort of two questions, but.......how about you? Well now thats three questions. Nuts.............Oh yeah........"Clean nuts are happy nuts"  Quote, DennisB. Jeff. |

| Or the Peoples Front of Judea.......Or was that the Judean Peoples Front......"Splitter".!! Seriously tho......I think that I began to "motorized two wheel" in the 60's and 70's as an escape. I was Peter Fonda, I was Bronson, I was free! There was a romanticism and a perception of great adventure about motorcycling......and I'm sure there still is to many. But, I know that some ride to escape, some to pose, some to save gas, some to get lost in the experience.......is it all therapy?  Jeff |

| Today I picked up one gallon of Glidden flat white, 50ft of 14-2 wire, cashed my check, hauled 2ft by 4ft piece of underlayment [left hand, 10mph max] all with my Silverwing, all very therapeutic. Well......the underlayment was just plain dumb, but in retrospect, isn't it amazing how well the engineers have designed the aerodynamics of the SW. Good lessons in physics courtesy of Sochiro Honda.........very therapeutic. Oh....great pix! Jeff. |

| Hi Jeff,
One of the strangest things I've carried under the seat, not counting the nut cleaning equipment, would be a large watermelon. Almost didn't get my seat closed. TASTY! |

| Sounds like a picnic DennisB, after a quick stop at Popeyes or KFC. Have you seen the Youtube video, I think it was called "the Molly chronicles"? The gentleman has either cut his seat in half or?....... and his dog rides behind him, not on the seat, but in the storage compartment. And Hammy...[spoken with a French accent]",such legume intolerance." And coming from a man of your profession........So I say to you......"Your Mother was a hamster, and your Father smelled of Elderberries. Now go away or I will taunt you a second time." |

|  I do enjoy nuts and usually have a jar of mixed nuts on my desk. One of these days I might just give in to the temptation to declare that there are nuts everywhere. |

| So now you are traveling to other planets........"Hi Miss, could I get this prescription refilled? Yes, name's Hammy. I left my Bazookoid on Red Dwarf, and if a Nutzillion Space Ranger finds it, the entire Universe will be bombarded with Red Dwarf Watermelons"  .........Hammy......are you over medicating again? Put 2 gallons of Regular in the old Silverwing. Side stand up, feet forward.....relax. Your "therapist" would like to take you for a ride on the "vinyl" couch. Jeff. |
