Birthday Ride/Boy's first scoot ride

scootnwinn · 03-05-2013, 01:07 AM

Well yesterday was my birthday and it was a nice enough day that a scoot ride for no reason was in order. I had thought of taking a long ride but decided instead to take my second son with me on a shorter ride so we took a short (50 mile round trip) ride out to Echo Canyon near Ghost Ranch New Mexico.
Here is the boy ready to ride. When I took this first picture he said "I think you should post this on Scooter Dawg since this is my first ride." It wasn't all that cold but he said the wind made his face tingly...

Ok I won't say much the pictures take care of most of it...

Stupid hay truck seriously 30 in a 55 zone...

Echo Canyon

Stopped at the local grocery store "Bode's" (that's bodees for you non New Mexicans) for a soda and had a pic taken then home we went

Well hope you all enjoy!

Very cool! I'm sure you two had a blast!

Looks like such a fun, beautiful ride!

We did he has never been on a ride longer than a mile he really enjoyed it.

Why doesn't this show in the recent posts on the side of the main page?

Ill admit your scoot is growing on me. I usually dont like the style/look of anything above 150cc but yours is really sharp. The color may have a lot to do with it oh and also it being a SUZUKI

Cool pics!!

scootnwinn · 03-05-2013, 02:13 AM

I like most Suzukis and yes the Burgman is cool looking. I rode a GS1100 for years and I like the way it looks but the scoot is just a well made machine in every way. Thanks glad you enjoyed the pics I know I enjoyed the ride

Ooops.. fixed. Didn't have this forum added to the list to be shown in the side column since I added this forum just recently.

Sorry 'bout that.
