Stop in for a cup of coffee
Geez ... My last post was on page 1957. Backlogged to page 1981. That's half the age of rock'n roll. Oh, well. At least I know what I'll have to do today ...
Had a FANTASTIC weekend out in the summer house. Clear blue sky, very little wind and 73 F. Good company - our good friends/my wife's colleague from Norway and his family - Champagne and I bought a moped!
Our neighbor out there was washing her moped when I was out for a run, said she was selling it. I expressed interest and she came by. They had trouble getting it started after sitting for 4 years. She was eager to get rid of it so she said I could have it for $125. I said I'd take it sight unseen for that price.
Great Score!
We walked over and settled the deal. She included a really beefy motorcycle lock and chain, Givi case and a bottle of Motul 2-stroke oil.
I rolled it home, filled the tires and choked the engine to fill up the carb and it ran just fine! Smoke for a minute or two.
So the kids, 13 and 11, spent the evening riding back and forth on our little private road.
Get this. It had 67 km on the odo ... That's 40 miles. She paid $1,700 for it. I didn't take a pic but it's one of these, with the Givi case on the back.
