The woman in the Vespa pic is dressed much safer than I usually dress. And I don't think most scooters can go over 50 mph (we often go over 100 mph).
Not condoning it for others tho. You be careful when you get your scooter, Scrills!!

I'm hiding this entire statement from Mr. Spring (aka Mr. Safety) so he doesn't faint.

Ninja, don't worry. i will only drive it around the neighborhood. You know to work, church and of course to the bar. Where I will get completely wasted, loose track of time, and drink home, drunk, in the middle of the nighe in 6" heels, no helmet, and short-shorts and a tank :-)

Thank you.

I appreciate your personal contribution to my eventual heart attack.

(The least you could do is invite me along to the bar so I can check out the weird ensembles. And yes, you can sit on the seat, drunk, while I push us back to your house.)

That made me laugh too!!

There is a bar near my house that I love. Let's just say it is very "blue collar". when I walk in, everyone turns and looks at me like I have 2 heads. But by the end of the night, I've friends with half the bar. and they have the best wings and cheap drinks.

Oh, and the bartenders are brothers, Tom, Dick, but no Harry, although their mom comes in and drinks sometimes

i can only imagine the looks Ninja and would get at that place, especially when you add in a pink Vespa. Let's do it!

Don't forget to wear your beard hats!

Tom, Dick and Mama - Love it, LOL!

claudine19 · 05-08-2012, 02:12 PM

As always, I'm in, Scrills.

(We never got beard hats, but I still have my bear ears hat with pom-poms. I'll wear whatever Scrills tells me to wear.)

spring1onu · 05-08-2012, 04:05 PM

I'm moving in with Scrills.

MoppyT · 05-08-2012, 05:17 PM

Riding my cute red scooter around town in a sassy manner is literally the one thing I miss about being single. My helmet had flame decals on the sides, oh yes it did.

She still sits in my backyard, lonely and not working. I tried to sell her on CL but all the scooter dudes emailing me detailed questions about Why Doesn't It Run and Do You Know What's Wrong With It and It Might Be The Fuel Line Some Stellas Had Bad Fuel Lines So You Should Really Check The Fuel Line And Also Are You Cute were more than I could handle while I was working full-time and grad schooling full-time and freelancing. Maybe I should make it a goal for this summer.

spring1onu · 05-08-2012, 05:21 PM

Back in CT there was a lady who rode a pink scooter and she had a pug that rode around with her in a milk crate on the back. Wish I had gotten a picture of that.

claudine19 · 05-08-2012, 07:03 PM

Oh, Moppy. Why did I not have the good fortune of knowing you when I lived in Chicago, slogging back and forth to N.U., or waiting outside for Mama Desta's to open?

I get the fuel line questions, too. It's just so much blather. The one person who could keep her running was my friend down the street, who could fix anything. She gave me a complicated set of pre-start directions, and then she moved away to become an electrician. Since Scrills has mechanics in the family, I figure she'll do all right. And if she doesn't, that's okay, too, since it's clear she means to totally abuse my faith in her good sense and driving abilities.

springy, if you move in with Scrills, just know in advance that her friends carry fancy purses. Like Paris Hilton and a cute puppy she doesn't deserve fancy. (I couldn't keep up, so I just admired.)

spring1onu · 05-08-2012, 07:12 PM

I'm sure they'll be in awe of my well worn Etsy purse.

(of which I'm about to have the girl who made this one make me another in different fabrics...do y'all know how stress inducing and overwhelming it is to pick coordinating fabrics?!)

claudine19 · 05-08-2012, 07:38 PM

etsy!

I think that's where Scrills is making her fortune, as a matter of fact.

Oh, I know what you're planning, Missy. I can only hope your brothers will apply the necessary pressure to ensure some measure of responsibility once you get her.

Get back, Jojo! When was that? I worked at NU (Evanston campus) from '02-'04!
