I've been doing a LOT of bike and scooter riding over the last couple of weeks. My boy is still staying at his mom's resale shop in the suburbs, and I found a previously unknown bike path near me that runs almost right to the shop's front door, so I've been visiting him a lot. The path is built on an old railroad line through the forest preserves, and is tree-lined, shady, and cool. What a find! A few a my weed clients are out that way, too, so I've been volunteering to make scooter deliveries to them. High 80's and humid is usually too hot for me to ride my bike, but is SO nice on my scooter! The breeze the scooter creates on me, plus the fact that I don't have to exert myself makes it the ideal summer transportation. It's a total attention getter as it is such a rare vehicle, it must be odd to see a standing person flying by silently at 30+ mph. A hospital worker inquired about it and offered to buy it on the spot for $1500 (I paid only a grand for it directly from China), and I refused. I countered at $2000 and he refused. I didn't want to sell it at that price, either, as it took about 5 weeks for it to be delivered. In fact, I just bought another of the same scooter as a back up, and to have friends and my son be able to ride along with me, should be here mid July...
