I have to go buy a ‘hog’ tomorrow. Unfortunately by law it has to be below 125cc…which means my hog is a scooter 😉 – There goes the paycheck…

I’ve pondered just buying a real bike and driving illegally, but that’s probably a bad choice even though if I do get stopped the italian cops won’t know I don’t have a motorcycle license (autos only). The Oregon license just says something like all vehicles with a Gross vehicle weight below 25000 pounds (or something). Actually if I knew I could get insurance on a proper motorcycle without having a license for it I would probably just go ahead and do it…but alas I shall just make that a long term goal (getting an italian motorcycle license).

I’m a bit scared to drive a scooter in this country…the normal driving rules don’t really apply…I’ll figure it out. Hopefully before I get injured 😉

…and today I got a panicked voice mail from a friend saying why are you in the hospital…what happened…you need to call me ASAP….
here’s the lesson…just because you get an email from ‘joe’, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s from me 🙂
It was some other joe…but nice to know if I was in the hospital that people would call me…
