Well it’s been a few months now and I gotta say, I really like cruisin around on the 2 wheeler. I mean I really Old School like it, way more than I imagined.

Though one could argue that there is a gearhead at the core of every guy, I never felt like that. I like cars and motorcycles but don’t know too much about them one from the other. Scooters looked really fun. I always wanted one to buzz around on in the summer for shits. So when the opportunity arose and I had the loot, I took advantage.
