Obsessions and Time wasters

 I have almost always had a motorcycle.  (The "a" singular is relevant here) .There was a gap of about 12 years when I had two motorcycles but both off road. One was a Honda Deauville and the other a BMW R65LS. 

I finally got around getting them operational again.  The BMW fired up with a jump start from a car battery. The Honda didn't.  It took a couple of days to get it started, most of which was removing body work. I decided to sell it and stick with the BMW.

Scooters in General

I am really enjoying the Address, so I was thinking of getting another more powerful scooter.

But I think my strive for simplicity debars most, or maybe all, of the offers open. I really don't want water cooling, with the inevitable addition of a water pump, a thermostat, a radiator, water pipes, coolant, and the associated extra weight, maintenance and potential reliability problems.
