I'm joining the club

I used to ride a motorcyle years and years ago. Since my foot surgery in 2001 I can no longer ride a bike as I cannot use the foot brake.
Soooooooo, I was a Walmart Saturday and they had this really neat little scooter with an electric motor and hand brakes and it will go a rapid, tears to your eyes 15 miles per hour. I was in my priceline and I thought....why not??

So watch out all you big bike riders...that little blue streak you see puttering down the road just might be me.

Go for it GPaz!

You show 'em who's the boss of the road!

Nice one! At least it still has a motor!

chonsigirl · 08-14-2006, 09:23 AM

Oh, you will be cruising now!

minks · 08-14-2006, 10:12 AM

Grumpaz · 08-14-2006, 02:46 PM

Oh, and just for the record...I named it Harley.

*ducks and runs*

Dont do it Grumpy ! Find someone with a sidecar. That way you can just gaze out and let your knuckles drag on the asphalt, maybe hide a flask down by your feet. Put on some kooky goggles and a long scarf. Thats way better than a Wal Mart moped !

Isadora Duncan tried that and look what happened to her.

I prefer Mick Dohan's solution - he had a thumb operated brake fitted and kept on racing.

On the other hand, you don't need the rear brake anyway - the back wheel's in the air whilst you're braking so it does no good.

Knowing you, my dear....you'll ride with style, grace and ECLAT!

I'm sure you meant eclairs...not eclat my dear LuLu.. and I have a wonderful recipe for chocolate eclairs. But I do believe they would be quite messy to eat whilst I'm riding my Harley with style and grace. (whoever she is) lol.
