It's somewhat of a difficult choice these days since I have two vehicles that I enjoy equally, but today was different. Today is the National Day of Prayer and the Christian Motorcyclist Association arranged a group prayer ride around Lancaster county.
We met at the Sheetz on Oregon Pike, just off route 30 and I joined up with the Western Lancaster county group. The route took us through New Holland, Terre Hill, Adamstown, Denver, Ephrata, and Akron. We stopped for about half an hour in each borough to pray for each community, then rode to East Petersburg for the final staging to ride into the Day of Prayer event at the WJTL Radio, "Junction Center."
The event was imense. There were many hundreds of people there, perhaps over a thousand, and the speaker; Ravi Zacharias, was amazing. He's one of those people that is very intelligent, yet he puts out so much information that it's difficult to process it all at once. What stood out to me most was when he said something about reaching out to the hand of God in the darkness and learning to trust.
After the message, it was time to head home. The scoot was parked in, but it gave me more time to chat with some of the other riders.
All in all, a wonderful day. I'm feeling drained, but rejuvenated all at once.

I see you're parked next to a QLink Commuter Helix clone so you weren't the only scooter.
There were two others. The Qlink went with a different group, but my group was joined by a Honda elite 110 a few miles in.
What's cool about that is that both yours and the QLink are what? Seven years old and both still on the road. I guess emulating Japanese engineering does pay off for the consumer in the end. In the 1970s many inexpensive Japanese motorcycles were scrap by now yet here 40 years later the lessons of durability keep even the least expensive vehicles on the streets much longer.
The Qlink had a funny quirk though. Every 100 miles or so a bolt would come loose on the engine mount and need torquing. I'm sure if he used some lock-tite it would take care of it.
