Did you get that around here?

Into the upper 70s, mostly blue sky, and breezy.  We took the scoots out for lunch.  Well, they didn't each lunch - they barely sip gas - but, we rode the scoots to have lunch out.

The purpose was two-fold.  First, and most important, we wanted to ride the scoots.  Second, there has been a "sports park" scooter tag on the scooter forum I frequent, and no one has posted anything.  When the tag was changed to "anything with the word 'sports' in it," I knew I could snag that... if I got back with the photo soon enough.

Here's a close-up of the sign, clearly showing the word "sports"...

Lunch was good; tried a different pizza than our usual.  Yeah, living on the edge.  Maybe, the crust?

We rode a bit, then stopped to do a little shopping.  Walgreens usually has Russell Stover milk chocolate covered marshmallow Santas.  Joan did her shopping while I perused the Russel Stover section... everything but milk chocolate covered marshmallow Santas.  Seriously - raisin oatmeal Santas?  Red velvet Santas?  Sugar-free crappy Santas?  No milk chocolate covered.  Joan said, "They will have them somewhere else in the store."  She was right.

Whew!  Man does not live by pizza alone.

While in the store, an older gentleman came up to me and asked "Are those your scooters in the parking lot?"

No, he wasn't a psychic, pretty sure I was the only one in the store carrying a helmet... the leftover pizza was in my storage under the seat of the scoot.

I figured we were going to have the "How fast/what kind of mileage/how much?" talk.  We get that a lot.  Instead, he asked, "Did you get those around here?"

"No, we were visiting our daughter in Arizona, and bought them there.  But, any Honda motorcycle dealer can get them."  We visited for a bit... he used to be a motorcycle cop, and he had a Bergman 650 scooter, until it got too heavy for him.  He said his dog really misses riding on the scooter.  He also said, "I saw you move those things around when you parked - pretty easy, huh?"

"Yep.  Like moving a bicycle around."

"I'm going to check into one of those.  Are those brand new?"

"No, we've had 'em for almost two years now."

"Wow - they look like new."

"That's Honda for you.  And, we keep 'em clean."

The scoots do get a lot of interest.  Most people don't know anything about scooters, though; this guy was different.  You meet the nicest people on a Honda.  ;-)
