Accomplishments, half-way to a perfect year.

 The scooter life is in the past for me, at least for the purists. As has been mentioned in a previous post, the 2013 Honda PCX 150 that previously was part of my stable, is now gone to a salvage yard and has likely been parted out or crushed. 

One year prior to the unfortunate demise of the PCX, a 2010 Honda NT700V became my secondary riding companion. It is a good and sturdy machine, and I enjoy it immensely. In September, a 2020 Honda Grom was added to my stable to replace the ill fated PCX. 

Upon purchasing the Grom, despite being in poor physical condition following the crash in August, I rode that day, and the next day, and the next, just piling up miles day after day without realizing until I was over two months in that I had not missed a day of riding a motorcycle since September 14th. At that point, I was around day 80 or so and I decided to start keeping better track of what I was doing. 

At the time of this writing, I have ridden a motorcycle for 183 days in a row with at least ten consecutive miles of riding each day. On day 182, I took the Grom out for a celebratory ride, then on day 183, the NT700V did an additional 30 miles. 

While this is nowhere near the accomplishments of the legendary Blaine Paulus (who has just completed a perfect year of over 300 miles per day, and broken another riding record as well), I am satisfied that I am doing something for myself that will give me something to remember and something I can point to as an uncommon accomplishment. 

Today is another day, and it is waiting for me. 

Until next time, be safe, be well, and be blessed. May the wind always be at your back, and may your wheels never be parallel to the ground.
