False. Interesting, maybe, but not hilarious.

The PBM devotes as much or more time reading and posting to NSR threads on MV as the scooter-related ones.

It's close To Midnight and Something Evil's Lurking in The Dark.
Under The Moonlight, You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart.
You Try To Scream, But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It.
You Start To Freeze, As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You're Paralyzed

You Hear The Door Slam, And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run.
You Feel The Cold Hold, And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun
You Close Your Eyes, And Hope That This Is Just Imagination, girl
But All The While, You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up Behind
You're Out Of Time

They're Out to Get You, There's Demons Closing In On Every Side.
They Will Possess You, Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial.
Now Is the Time for You and I to Cuddle Close Together dear.
All Thru The Night, I'll Save You From The Terror On The Screen,
I'll Make You See

Darkness Falls Across The Land, The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand.
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood To Terrorize Yours Neighborhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell, And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell.

The Foulest Stench Is In The Air The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzly Ghouls From Every Tomb Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist The Evil Of The Thriller

'Cause this Is Thriller, Diller Night
and No-ones Gonna Save You from the Beast about Strike.
You Know its Thriller, chiller Night
You're fighting for Your Life inside a Killer, Thriller.

Thriller, Diller Night
'Cause I can thrill you More Than Any Ghoul Could ever dare try. (Thriller, Diller Night)
So Let Me Hold You Tight And Share A Killer Diller Chiller,
Thriller Here Tonight.

'Cause this Is Thriller Diller night
girl I Can Thrill You More Than Any Ghoul Could ever dare try
Any Ghoul could ever Dare Try
(Thriller, Diller Night) So Let Me Hold You Tight and Share a Killer thriller.

No, but close. I had meatloaf for dinner tonight and stuffed my face. Does that count?

The PBM has all his/her scooter service done at a dealer.

No, switched to a local mechanic who happens to be the one and only "greasy"......

The PBM is thinking about kitting out their scooter with NEW shocks if they haven't done so already.....

Nope. (From another Greasy customer, so to speak.)

The PBM LOVES their local Vespa dealer.

True for the majority! Nice folks, solid service. Others have complained, but I get on swimmingly for the most part

The PBM used to be a classic car person before becoming a Vespa person

Nope, it is just a crush.

TPM knows how to replace a belt on the side of the road ala cannonball.

True.. if I had to... With a watchful eye of a wrencher, I did open it up to check the wear at 4K... I took off the current belt, measured it, then put it back on... I'd rather NOT do it mayself, but I could do it if I had no other choice. (Slowly, but surely, I'm learning how to do my own maintenance...)
