I have been gone a week or so. I first to flew to Orlando for two VA appointments, an eye appointment and my annual physical. I was supposed to have an appointment with the urologist, but the Urology Department was in the midst of moving to the brand new VA hospital. I passed the physical. The doc said I was in great shape for a 96 year old. :D I will update my eye condition in the On The Mend thread.

While I was gone, SWMBO bought a 2006 Honda Big Ruckus. She had one when we married but she sold it and has regretted selling it ever since. Now the scooter was in Wisconsin, a quarter of the way across the continent from Milton, Ontario. She had rented a U-Haul trailer to bring it back to Milton.

I landed in Buffalo, NY on Saturday, she picked me up, we traveled two hours back to Milton and I hooked the trailer up. We left early Sunday morning for Wisconsin and returned on Wednesday, my birthday. She and I rode most of the day yesterday - she on the Big Ruckus and me on the Tiger. She can run 65 mph/100 kph comfortably. This is all we can legally do in Ontario anyway.

Anyway, I am glad to be back to my home away from home.​
 
I have an old Army buddy that lives in Milton. Rides a bike too. Want me to try and contact him and maybe you can get together for some rides. He rides a Harley so it would be pavement only.
 
@Qship .Yes, I would like to meet and ride with him.

@hemibee Tony, this is the big Ruckus, 250cc. They only made them in 2005 and 2006. You can rejet them, install a third party variable clutch and delete the airbox and get and get better than 80 mph out of them.
