Need the hack for riding to Alaska this summer and dirt roads plus hauling more equip. Best on your hack installation.

But you are right in that we have some times of the year not very conducive to riding on two wheels and parking is rarely an issue around here. I think that once it gets well into the negative temperatures (°F) the old bike may get hard to start. Especially since you can't get things like block heaters for them. <br /><br />I really like the 2 cycle Vespas. Something about the sound and smell of a 2-cycle engine. Almost as nice as a diesel.

Besides the exercise hauling the handlebars will complement your walking program. I'd suggest getting a Vespa but I got the last good one and that's in the shop now. Good being a relative term of course. <br />You will have to ride everywhere ALL the time when you have a combination.
