I am sorry to hear about that as well. Drivers are just plain insane.
I am still in shock about John's wife. I know they have not even been
married that long. I just saw them, what a couple of months ago?

Kevin - I surprised my wife with a scooter for Christmas two years ago. I
had a very good helmet on order, but the neurosurgeon said it probably would
not have helped. Someone pulled out in front of her on her first ride and
she spent three days in ICU, and still suffers some effects from the
traumatic brain injury. Scooters can be fun, but too easily become
dangerous even if you do everything right [which my wonderful wife did not].

Hi, John. I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife, Ayla, has been thinking of
getting a motor scooter to ride around. She's blind in one eye with some
vision in the other, and the thought scares me to death. We do ride our
side-by-side recumbent tandem, but it's highly visible and about 4' wide and
hard to miss. Of course, our airhorn has saved us on several occasions when
drivers have pulled out of driveways totally unaware of our presence.
