Bethel Rd. North Georgia. Tale of two Vento's

[cheesy]

That looks like a neat area to scoot around in. I only ever get to see ATL.

With that said, when the weather is nice there, Seattle is one of the prettiest cities in the country. The view of the Puget Sound, the whitecapped mountains on the Olympic Peninsula, and the tremendous majesty of Mount Rainier, and the beautiful green surrounding forests, or something to be seen and appreciated. Still a lot of weirdos on the street corners though LOL

I remember it well. The Space Needle, incredible forests, raspberries, and rhubarb. Mom made us pies from the wild blackberries we picked, and fresh rhubarb we bought. I ruined many a shirt picking them! When we lived in Tacoma, mom would send my brother and I down to the market to get buckets of clams. I can taste those now. There used to be a dolphin in a tank with view windows, as I recall. My cousin and her family lives in Federal Way.

Great little 48mph 2-smoke! As Katoranger put it "to the south, craiziness!"

350 miles on it, the last owner ran it out of oil, scorched the cylinder head. 38 bucks(69.00 now) to scrappydogscooters.com for a new head, piston and rings, and it runs like a champ!

Life long addiction for me as well.

Two mile is a nice park. Been down that Rd many times.

Not a very long ride, but I'm trying to get my buddy back up to speed for a Dawson Forest WMA run on the Redcat Gy200 and the Vento 200GY-2.
There are a number of trails around here, but I think most of them are on private land. Don't want to get shot riding over the wrong pasture! I rode up on a private firing range behind my house. I obviously made it out alive.

I never went to Dawson Forest. I have a friend that has a KLR and I think he rides there some. Lives in Dawsonville so its close for him.

Nor have I, but the ride reports are pretty good. It is suggested to do it in the fall, for the colors.
