My Story: Years ago, about 30 now, I was the owner of an Harley Electraglide. However before that, I owned a Harley 125cc. The truth is I had more fun on that than I did on the "Hog". Every time I wanted to go somewhere, it would cloud up and rain. I could go almost anywhere on or off the road with the 125, within reason of course.

I am 55, and married for 34 years to my wonderful wife Pattie... she is one of the sweetest people in the whole world. Pattie has spoiled me rotten; that's why I have a new scooter now.

Together we have 5 kids, 3 boys & 2 girls. All grown and almost grown... that is, we still have our baby at home until she goes off to college next year. We also have 7 grandchildren and one on the way. I plan to give them all "cycle fever" by taking them for rides.

I have been a pastor for almost 8 years now. I also play the guitar and try to sing. I have about 200 songs in my song book, and will go over to sing at anybody's house who can stand me. That is if they have a coffee pot, and if there is a donut or a piece of cake involved I would sing almost forever.

Pattie and I are full time students online, through Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I will finish an Associates degree in the Bible this Spring and Pattie is working on her business degree.

The scooter will be a great way to get away from the books when they get to be too much, which is often.

Oh yeah, the scooter, she is a Retro Vespa 150cc 4 stroke, with an automatic transmission. She is blue, as the pictures show. I found her in Tacoma Washington, from a place called Hot Pocket Bikes.

So far I am a happy camper. The owner there really helped to get everything in order to get her titled and plated. I got her on the road yesterday for the first time. So far I love it. I will have a better review after I have had it a while, so keep watching.

That's about it for now, I would hate to wear out my welcome before any of you meet me!
