Heh.

That's what I'll be "saying" to Kymco, tomorrow, with any luck.  :)

Stop Light Conversation

After leaving the scootnashville.com meet-up tonight, on the way home, I was sitting in the left turn lane at 46th Ave. and Charlotte. A newish Harley Sportster pulled up alongside me in the straight-right lane; a guy with a full-face riding, and a woman in a 3/4 helmet riding pillion. He blipped the throttle, trying (succeeding) to make noise, and I could see she leaned into his helmet to have a bit of convo.

She turns to me: "Wanna race?"

"Sure! Up to 60 (MPH), you're only gonna see my taillight."

She laughs. "Whaddaya wanna bet?"

Having had a beer, I say, "Who you go home with, tonight?"

She laughs uproariously! "Okay! So, what do we get if you lose?"

"Who I go home with tonight?"

The light turns green, but I still hear her laughing. I think her male friend was less than amused...

Winning The Big Lotto

Yes, the big jackpot games are definitely a tax on the mathematically-innumerate, but it's still fun to dream (and throw an occasional $1 at). Two scooters I'd pretty much get right off the bat:
Kymco Downtown 300i. This would replace BRU for all intensive porpoises. The "get from A to B quickly" bike.

Honda PCX125. The everyday grocery-getter, errand-runner. Gets fantastic gas mileage, and I bet it's really fun to ride.

At Least Two Every Freakin' Week

... when working at the scooter shop.

1.) People calling/stopping in to see if we have tires/innertubes for stand-up manual or electric scooters. No, we do not. No, we can't order them. Thanks for calling!

2.) People who mistake us for dealers in four-(or more) wheeled medical mobility scooters. No, that's not us, either, but here's the number to the durable medical equipment supply store...

3.) People who are ABSOLUTELY-GODDAMNED CERTAIN that they can ride anything we sell without a valid driver's license. No. You want to move to North Carolina, sorry.
