Stolen Scooter 1 Year Anniversary!
My beloved scooter, a Honda Elite, 250 cc, powerful enough to get on the highway got stolen exactly 1 year ago from my parking slot outside my home. I miss my scooter!
Especially now with Spring weather and so much beauty all over town. Riding this scooter was a lot of fun, for Sumo too, who on occasion would ride along in my special carpet shoulder bag slung across my body. He would sit on my right thigh and snap at the air and never show any concern about speed or bumps or other dogs or anything. In fact having lost my dreams and trouble seeing the future, I could see myself on a scooter with a dog! So returning from Switzerland where I had eyed so many, I noticed the sign up on Trader Joe's bulletin board for this scooter for $1000. The doctor's wife did not like scootering around town, bless her heart. In fact I was ready to kiss her feet in gratitude, and told her so!
Sometimes I would just go hunting for images on my scooter with my Nikon. While my VW van was on his 3. engine installation (2 new ones installed by 2 reputable mechanics failed for some mysterious reasons) I used this scooter to go to work even during winter, a challenge for sure.
The silver lining is that I use my bike more, that I did not end up living on a hill and on the land I had bought with big dreams - and then sold, for a profit. So, I really don't need a scooter and bicycling is surely better for my health! But the scooter was so much fun! Replacing a scooter with a less powerful, newer version would cost double to triple or more of what I payed originally.
Don't be fooled by the VW sign, the first owner must have been a lover of VWs.
