Spring approaches.
Thoughts turn to gear.
Fresh visor for the helmet.
Loud ratchet in my ear.

If you haven't - replace your visor.

I startled a pigeon on my Zero FXS recently. I must have silently snuck up on it. As it flew off it was flying about a foot in front of my face for some distance. I actually heard it's wings flapping. Another unexpected EV moment.

Hahahha... Fred, that is what I call back to nature  ;D


On a second note...
I enjoy the pupil's faces waiting for the school bus every morning when I swooshing by through the neighborhood.
At least the ones who are still alive and don't have their faces surgically attached to their fart phones.
The ones who do look up or are still normal, they look like they see a preview of a new Star Wars episode.
It's crazy how the future is here for them now. It is actually happening for them.


Fun fact too, I am taking small side roads to avoid the streams of road blocking idiots in the morning, and now I don't have to feel bad about taking those residential roads every day, since no one gets disturbed by me anyway.


Only the poor old retiree sweeping the front of his drive way early in the morning who didn't hear me, ends up like a fly on my visor  :o
