Modern Vespa

Part1. Every Saturday morning I walk an 8 mile loop with a friend that I've known for about 40 years and part of the route takes us through a wooded park with a stream that leads to a mote.

This past weekend the pathway was taped off and Police had been stationed at either end plus the Fire Brigade were in attendance.

It turns out that the owner of either an electric scooter or bicycle had collided with the stone wall of a bridge and fallen into the stream and drowned in about a foot of water.

Part 2.

Only in my home town can I smell weed at 6.45am, watch a women weed wack her garden at 7am while wearing a dressing gown and then ask myself why is a man walking around with a Bird of Prey on his arm at 7.30.

Kinda odd to give your post a "thumbs up," Bill Dog, but I'll have to agree...that would certainly classify as "weird shit" in my book!

BTW - I now stand corrected: Both of your posts qualify as "weird shit!"

Victor

I'm actually very misunderstood.

You lost me at mote.

mote
/mōt/
noun
a tiny piece of a substance.
"the tiniest mote of dust"

You never know where you'll find one!

Maybe it was just the wrong time of day

Nasal, perhaps?

nope

I saw a grizzly old guy on a harley today... It had a 6 foot cross on the back with the same flags on it.

Marty.

Sorry, Bill Dog, but that's "Mr. McFly" to us mere mortals! 🤭

nope

Awesome!

Is that '59 Caddy just barely in the frame to the right left actually the Ghost Busters Ambulance?

Is it Movie Car Day over there?

Coming right up.

Thanks!

Every year my home town has a River Festival when we celebrate the fact that we have a river and things happen.

The cars were one of the "things" . There was a Lightning McQueen exhibit that looked like it was on a Mitsubishi Whatchamacallit but it was so embarrassing I can't show it.

The body in the river earlier in the week was a 20 year old male who was found at 5.20am.

I usually walk through there around 6.30. It wasn't me.

Last night I rode out on the RT to a Pub Bike Meet to catch up with some like minded friends.

I'm glad that I got there solo because I rode like I'd just passed my test.

Over braked, made a mess of my gear changes and generally made a hash of pretty much everything else.

It was embarrassing.

The 84th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is here, and also all the weirdness that comes with it.

What do you feed your scoot?

Gasoline, oil, tires, filters, belts, and money.

Captured this on my dash cam on my way home yesterday.

Abandoned ?

Like me as a child.

"A boat is a hole in the water into which one pours money." Similar to some Vespas, but not mine (so far).

Same thing we ALL feed 'em at one time or another...MONEY!

And...LOVE! ❤️🛵🛵

Been there; done that. MUCH smaller boat now.

Been messing about in boats for a very long time. First built a raft when I was 7 years old. A long succession of built and bought over the years. Now I have since enjoyed the second happiest day of boat ownership. Spending my time on 2 wheels these days.

Random sight on my way to work this morning (sorry, but can't provide any background information)…

No Health and Safety Videos being made locally ?

Australian break dancing....

Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Just saw my first FedEx electric delivery van. Um, heard it first.

???

cards in the spokes or does it have speakers that make vroom vroom sounds like the new BMW M cars?

It's more of a whiny whistle as if saying.. 'c'mon guys, enough with all the Amazon two day packages...'

I will say they have this futuristic feel to them.. like what you thought the future was going to be in the 90's.

Like Shebalba said, loud electric futuristic sounding. Perhaps to warn people before it creams them in the street. It got my attention.
