David, David.....I appears that when you take your bike to VSO you have to do the work yourself! Not only did I get my hands dirty, I left with a new 2014 Fly. Dammit, David.

Ah crap this is the kind of publicity I just didn't need. Fine I admit it. You come in for service here and not only do we make you fix your own shit we make you buy another scooter for our troubles. There, I said it.

Hi David,

I'll be bringing in the scooter for its 12,400 mile checkup next week. I don't mind doing my own work if you will pay me my regular hourly rate. Be aware, though, that I am not in the market for another scooter at this time, so let's avoid any unpleasantness.

Not that hourly rate! I would give you a scooter first.

We know, we know. We have it all on video. VSO is implementing a new "no pockets" policy regarding the candy dish soon. We do have apples now also compliments of Lynda.

I guess insert here "is that an apple in your pocket or are you just happy to see me."

Apples AND candy go together just fine...and how about "is that a Snickers in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Yeah, Snickers with an apple chaser.

I prefer the tiny tootsie pops.

To be fair to myself so I don't seem completely impulsive....I was already in the market for another 150 scooter so it wasn't like I saw it and thought it would be neat to own one. But also to be fair to David, he has a way of convincing people that we need to have it!

I took the Fly out for about 100 miles yesterday and it certainly is a fun scooter.
