Just returned from a trip Istanbul-Riga-İstanbul-home.

An enormous variety of mopeds/motorrollers/scooters in Istanbul. Many are Chinese and, I'm assuming, local products, a lot of sundry Hondas. I spotted this Chinese Ruckus knockoff. 

Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul is a fascinating city, the most vibrant and diverse place I've ever visited...the markets, street cafes, a million of well-fed cats and tens of thousands of street dogs resting wherever they see fit, Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, Bosphorus at night, the twirling dervishes accompanied by traditional instrument virtuosos, TopKapi and its incomparable armoury, the most beautiful women in surreal, Cleopatra-like makeup...what a place!

Took out the Ruckus for the first time yesterday. Battery died over the winter (forgot to connect the trickle charger), but the foot crank started her right up.

This has been a particularly nasty New England Spring. We aren't known for romantic Spring seasons anyway, but this one is the worst in my memory: cold and rainy.

I would love a Vespa or Lamborghini, but until then, I'll have to be content with using clothespins for attaching baseball cards to my bike's front fork.
