Daww, how sweet.

Took Stella to work today for the second time, made it home with about ten minutes to spare before the sky opened up. No picture, but she was nestled in between an R1 and a Shadow. Quite the motley crew we are.

Hey, I have noticed an explosion of scooters all over Denver, Colorado like never before.

I've taken pics of many under the Topic: StreetSpot - Scooters Spotted On The Street at ScooterWOOT.com . I recommend ModernVespa to members there.

All these precious machines are waiting patiently to take their owners home.

Here is Angeo, on the sidestand, as usual. I had been parking in front of a vacant store across the parking lot from me. It was conveinent for me because I could see my scooter from where I work. Now the store has been rented and I need to find a new space. This one is probably it. You can see my barber shop in the background but people often park in between so that I can't always keep an eye on it. I didn't post yesterday because I had to drive the cage because I was carring bulky items.

I'm amazed every time I go downtown in Denver by the number of scooters. Genuine seems to have done very well there since I see more Buddies than anything else. Since I had the oil changed and a new tire put on in Lake Geneva I haven't needed to ride into town for service this summer. My husband and I are considering a ride back up to Lake Evan - intersted in meeting up?

Can't ride to work because i drive company truck. Back in 80's I did ride my Lammy to work at a restaraunt I worked at. Sil's did'nt have cutoff for electrical system so it stayed on. Kid's would get on my Lammy & honk horn & play w/turning lights. When I'd got off at night I would find my battery dead. I'd have to push start it & ride for a while to get the charge back.

I will have to post a photo of my ride at work, raining today so I hade to drive.
The Genuine CoolAss cover looks amazing, I have been thinking about looking for something like that as there is no shade in our parking lot. People with the ET4 like the fit of the Dual Saddle size?

When I sat near the window, she would be a constant distraction. I would pop over to check on her repeatedly. Now my desk location has shifted and I usually park her in one of the covered areas of the parking ramp. We have TONS of scooters and motorcycles for our 5,000 person office but no dedicated scooter/bike parking.

It's a Perfect fit. I just smoosh the edges under the seat. It will cover the helmet hook if it is out. I love mine. Works great too, no more insanely hot seats!

This was the first day I rode it to the Septa train station to go to work. Happened that a train went by at the same time. I've since started parking the other way and locking her steering down. Still learning - not even a month now!
