Episode 48 - Scooter Meltdown, But There Is Hope (voice mail# 206-888-6174)

Show notes: If you have been listening to the show for any length
of time, you have heard me talk about my three Vespa beauties. My
first is a 1981 P200e with a sidecar. It is still my main ride and
is always a eye catcher because it has a California sidecar.
Another is my classic 1965 Vespa 180ss, a Red Italian beauty that I
pamper, that sleeps under a blanket, the one that gets a gentle
soapy sponge bath, never the direct spray of the hose. An then
there is my little '67 150 Sprint, which I finally will say, I ride
the piss out of her. I'm sure you know the riding technique, crank
it wide open and see if you can get just a few more miles per hour
out of her. Although I have mentioned it in passing a few times, I
have tried not to bring too much attention to the fact that my
Sprint is one of those...yes you know what I mean, dare I even say
it? A Vietnamese import. She came to this country as a refugee
almost 10 years ago, just when the first bikes were making their
way from overseas. It wasn't easy to get her through customs, but
she made her way to Denver and lived for a time in Texas with me,
until I brought her to the east coast. She is a long way from
home.
