FWIW, I'll probably be extensively riding around Liverpool again this Sunday, if the weather is as promised. Hit me up off this board if you want to join me for that.

Last month when I was up there, I mostly rode around Henry Clay Blvd, Wetzel Road, Morgan Road and Oswego Road. I especially got a kick out of the chickens on Wetzel near Henry Clay. This Sunday I'll be hitting up a lot of the same areas, but also Bear Road up to Driver's Village and if time permits, probably around the Seneca Knolls area as well.

Well, Mother's day got in the way of me getting out last Sunday. I got to ride around a bit this afternoon. Saw a lot of motorcycles, but no scooters. I don't think I've seen one since I got one myself.

If the weather holds out, I plan on taking a ride Friday night. Well, I'll make quick runs any chance I get, but I'd like to take a nice long ride around 6 on Friday...8)

The weather report for Friday right now is not looking good, but that can easily change between now and then.

For a long ride, what have you got in mind?

Yeah, I have been keeping an eye on that weather. Friday night would have been great (schedule wise). I guess we'll see if it changes. Still not looking good.

I was thinking Liverpool or N. Syracuse. I'm still pretty new to riding and not sure I want to venture too far away from what I know.

They're saying right now there is a 100% chance of rain tomorrow and the Weather Channel is predicting it will rain all day and night tomorrow. But we'll know for sure soon enough.

Fair enough. You need to build up some confidence, but that just means you need to ride all you can.

Sure. It's Dan and his friends promoting VINTAGE scooters only, not what you have, sorry. And besides, getting 100+ likes for scooters anywhere isn't hard. :mrgreen:

Yesterday I made a quick trip up to Liverpool. It was fairly last minute. First I made a quick stop at Wegmans on Taft, but as I was turning in, some guy literally blew by me drag race style doing 70mph, which was nuts. Then when I got done there, I head back east on Taft and as I'm making the left turn on Buckley, I'm behind an idiot in a Viper who also wants to show off. My whole point of running up to Liverpool was to catch Hafner's Garden Center while they were still open and sure enough, they had closed early for the holiday. So, I head back down Buckley to Park Street and after I pass Destiny on Park St, a sheriff's car blows by me going as fast as he could towards the Parkway. I stop at the light at Park and Hiawatha and another sheriff's car blows by me going as fast as the first one. That was about 6:55pm. Now I realize it was because of that horrible motorcycle accident on the Parkway.

A couple of my co-workers knew the guy, and speak very highly of him, so I don't want to speculate what exactly happened. But because of the nice weather yesterday, it seemed like too many people were driving really crazy. And when you're on two wheels, you have to take that into consideration.
