Life as seen through the eyes of a displaced cheesehead formerly living in San Francisco now taking on the Pacific Northwest! Put a bird on it!

New Addition to the household


Recently Miss B's truck took a turn for the worst and it was made apparent that it was time to find herself a new mode of transportation. She's been taking the bus here and there in the absence of a motorized vehicle however there are times when that just won't do. She had been thinking for a while as to what the perfect fit would be and turns out, it's a scooter! Here is what she purchased last Thursday and we picked up on Friday! Her model has a brown seat and did not come with the woman drinking a beverage which is fine by us.
We ended up both getting helmets and gloves which are two major requirements in terms of safety. On Friday, pick up day, it was raining and since Miss B has never driven a two wheeled motor scooter, I got to drive it off the lot. We took an easy way home and I kept thinking "Where's the power on this thing?" after years of driving a motorcycle. The rest of the weekend was spent taking test rides here and there and it's so dang much fun I can hardly stand it. Right now we both have learner's permits but Miss B will be taking the full on course for license certification later this month. I will need to sign up for a test at the DMV and take it sometime soon. That way we can ride together! Hope to see you on the streets! And now we can park it anywhere. Yipee!
