| CJ,
What an adorable scooter!! Loved the coloring :-)
Who made it? Did you pay a hefty price for it?
With the high cost of gasoline nowadays this would make moving around much more economical.

Okay, that's beats CJ's, but I can't see 10 on it, maybe 9 based on the jacket choice, but not 10.
And because I can't resist...alternative picture caption...
From the Children's Edition of the Australian Dictionary...This is the picture tied to the phrase "Australian for two-wheeler"

| It's a 2008 Honda Metropolitan. Costs about $1,800 new (though you can find very good used ones for a lot less).
It's really my wife's scooter. We're already saving for a 2nd one (that I won't look as silly on).
I saw a TON of these things in Europe years ago and in San Francisco on my honeymoon. As soon as we got ours and started driving it around we noticed more and more new scooters popping up in our town. Stop by a dealership and ride one around the lot - you'll love it.
10 is definitely a scooter man - 9 though... I see him riding a patched together WWII motorcycle. |
