I have to ask, what are you doing in Niles, Ohio?  If you have family there did you ever eat at Sunrise Pizza in Warren?    Best Pizza in the world.

Actually,  we rode up through PA towards Sharon  (168/18)  and hung a left towards Mosquito Creek Lake..   I tried to find a way south and ended up going through Niles.   I'll have to check out that Pizza shop next time..

Sounds like you're having some fun in NE Ohio.  Wish I was fully recovered so I could meet up with you.

Regards,

Bob

Cool, Fished often on Mosquito Creek Res when growing up.  My EX was from Hubbard and one of nine and the whole family hung out at the original Quaker Steak & Lube in Sharon.

How do you like the Capo?

Heading north on Monday looked to be the safest bet against the rain.  So pointed the Capo upwards and went exploring!   Hope you're recouping quickly Bob!!
Did you ever eat at the Pizzeria that's built from an old covered bridge?   I think it's in Andover on Main St.   Kinda neat place..

So far the Capo has about 16,000 miles since last July..   We've been a little late on getting in the longer trips because of the shaky weather we've been getting.   So far the Capo has been great. (we purchased used from a guy in Denver and had it shipped - he put 1000 miles on it and then had health issues).   
It has your typical Piaggio "quirks" of course.  The fuel gauge is wonky.....it blows through 5 of the six "bars" at a quick-ish pace,  and then the last little bar is good for over 100 miles.   So when you start the bike and have 1 bar showing,  you're never quite sure how much fuel you have left.  I normally reset trip 1 to zero at a fill up.....when it gets around 200 miles we'll start looking.   I think the tank would do 260 without issue.    Oh...the trip counters reset at 630-ish miles instead of 999 miles...  I guess it's set to reset at 10,000kms.    :shocked:
