S is for Scooter

Yes, I know we’re not on the “S’s” yet, but I’m behind anyway, so if I’m a little ahead won’t it all even out? Sure it will.

I’ve not actually ridden it yet, as it’s not licensed or registered (but it is insured as of 12:01 tomorrow), and I still need to get my learner’s permit, but this little Italian beauty is mine. Her name? What else but Sofia?

She was delivered this morning by Dwayne, who promptly asked me if I’d like to go to dinner. Is it dangerous to date truckers? Guess I’ll find out ;)

This little Vespa is such a putt-putt, the top speed going downhill with a tailwind is about 65mph. No highways or freeways, just side roads and residential areas for me. With a helmet, I promise. I’ll be the one being passed by the mountain bikes.

Ciao!

    I saw your Hemlock Ring blanket on display yesterday at Blazing Needles. It’s beautiful!

    To all ~ Dwayne has not proven himself to be a mass murderer as of yet. In fact, he seems to be quite nice.

    How cute is that scooter!

    And look at you with a dinner invitation! How cool is that! I hope you have a great time.

    What are you wearing? Or is it too silly to ask?

    WOWZA!!!!! And the name! The name! She’s a beauty and I’m ever so jealous.

    I once owned an Alfa Romeo and every time I drove it my name immediately became Sofia and I only played Dean Martin tapes.

    La vita e buona and ciao bella!

    It’s beautiful! Does it seem like there is enough room for a small passenger? Or should I hold out for a motercycle with a sidecar?
