I went for a nice ride on my scoot yesterday. I came upon this old Revolutionary War soldier. I went around to the other side and asked "Have you seen any other riders?" He said "They went that-a-way."

It appears to me that someone should be offended by that statue and bring it crashing to the ground into pieces.
Just joking.
Enjoy you scooter in a great part of the world.

Nice picture and very nice looking scooter. When I was younger I loved anything with two wheels and a motor and I've owned three motorcycles. In 2015 when I moved from the Chicago area to rural southern Illinois I thought I was going to love riding my Honda CTX700 but my love for motorcycles over time had waned. I tried to sell it but had no interested buyers even though it was a beautiful bike. So I donated it to the Make a Wish Foundation. They sold it for much less than it was worth so someone got a great bike at a great price.

It is a statue of Revolutionary War soldier, not a Civil War soldier plus it is in a northern state, so why should it be taken down. Why should any of them be torn/broken down anywhere? The statues are a part of the history of the entire country. They represent people and times that are historical. Removing statues or memorials of history will not change history.

Thank you merrytexan. I sold my big motorcycle about five years ago and went to the smaller, no frills, 650cc Suzuki Burgman Executive. Glad you enjoyed the photo.

I've been riding for a lot of years and wasn't quite ready to give it up entirely. I will be 78 this month
and the 650cc Burgman is easier to handle than my big Gold Wing at this stage of my life. At least your bike
went to a good cause.

Stan, that is a great shot of the Exec with the statue. I love the colors and composition. Looks like you had a great day for a fun ride. My wife had two 650 Burgmans, a standard and a red Exec just like yours. She rode it from Boise, Id to Virginia, Mn to a rally we went to in 2007. We put a Russell Daylong Saddle on it and it was a great, comfortable ride. She finally gave up the Burgman for a GL1800 Gold Wing! I loved riding her Burgman, though. We gave up riding about 5 years ago, but I keep thinking that if I ever take up riding again, I’d seriously consider another Burgman. You can find lots of Burgman riders on maxi-scoots.com, by the way. Thanks for sharing your sunny day ride along with a bit of history.
