For years and years I have wanted to be on the seat of a little scooter of some kind. I remember in the late 80's telling my family that I was going to get a Honda Spree to ride to school when I was old enough. Well, thankfully I never did get the Spree, but I finally did get a 49cc scooter. It is a 2002 Honda Metropolitan. When I bought it there were only 115 miles on it. It has always been kept in tip-top condition by its previous owner, the race car mechanic. How did I justify the 4 hour each way road trip to go pick it up? It gets 100 miles per gallon. That's right, baby, with gas prices getting up to $4 by the end of the summer it'll pay for itself in miles to and from work.

My favorite part so far has been pulling up to a stop light next to a dude on a big-ass Harley. He gave me the nod.

No fair! I've always wanted to be part of the biker group. I get jealous seeing the bikers pass each other on the highway and giving the low, hand to the side, wave. Sometimes I feel like rolling down my window and giving them the low wave....
Awesome. Steph was showing me the pics on the camera Saturday afternoon, I did a double take when I came across yours. Sorry I missed you. I will call this week.

Yeah!! I'd heard that you finally got a scooter. I just got my tire fixed this week, so I'm back on mine now. I hope it's working out for you.
