I was trying to save the hassle of taking a screen shot and uploading.... but here goes.

BTW- my thing "coming out of my head" is a large satellite dish at a radio station transmitter site for ABC radio in Washington D.C. I actually posed in front of the dish to make it look like it was coming out of my head. Nerd emoticon

Damm... I thought getting them from the duty free shop for $22 was cheap. Since I work for an airline industry, I have my mules when they fly through honolulu to pick me up cartons from abroad.

I know RCW didn't mean for this to move into an anti-smoking thing but...I quit smoking nineteen years ago. On that day I left a pack of Lucky Strikes and a book of matches, setting on a shelf in the bathroom of my room at the hospital where Doctors installed a zipper in my chest. Those scooter lighters are kind of cute, though.

Oh, yeah, sure.

You can't fool us, but I want to know how a 95 foot wall woman who has a large satellite dish strapped to her head (that broadcasts throughout D.C.!) fits on a scoot! Does the dish swivel depending on the direction you're, um, heading?

Thank you for taking the time-hassle- pretty neat A larger one could be a pet carrier under seat ashtray. I have a mermaid that the arm moves to light and the tail fin is a bottle opener. Kinda outdated but still works great.

I'm a techno tard so I thought the dish is about my speed for a headset ear phone. Good to know your not Janet from another planet and a mothership is just out of sight.
Alas, I still smoke, have to pay about $28.00 per carton at Indian Res. and thats because NY taxes are so high ($ 75.00 per carton) the Indians bump up the costs/profit margin.

Who smokes and scoots at the same time?

Me. A 'bonus' of rocking a 50 is you can still smoke in relative comfort due to sub-sonic speeds. Got to wait till the lights turn red before I can light up though...I'm not that good Laughing emoticon

they are great quality - body is solid but the grips are plastic. I love them but only have them on display though they all work great.

up and go. I offen hear complaints from some of
my fellow riders saying that all they smell is my
cigar while riding behind me. The secret is my FULL WINDSHIELD Clown emoticon Wha? emoticon Nerd emoticon

$11? $22? For a carton that is pennies. I quite a while ago but the last time I checked a pack was $10 in NYC. Yes, $10 for 1 pack of cigarettes. Don't think there is any discount on cartons....

I do. I'm one of those people who get up in the morning at the absolutely last minute and then have to do everything in a mad rush in order to get to work... That means that my first cigarette of the day is often still lit when I get on my scooter.
