Nice Metropolitan, Tacos & scooter chat w/Chappelle
« on: September 25, 2020, 07:41:40 PM »
Daughter and I went into our coffee village for sidewalk coffee & her pumpkin something today.
Spotted a nice new Metropolitan with paper plates from my local dealer - ridden by a young lady with helmet.
We hit Miguel's for a couple of his great food-truck Tacos.....
And down the sidewalk we came upon Dave Chappelle, who calls this village home.
I asked him if he was still riding his scooter...
"No, just sold it! Do you ride a scooter?"

Told him I've been doing "an year around sunrise scooter ride down to Dino's for coffee for several years."
"Sunrise!?....Yeah - we'll never meet in there at that hour!", he laughed.

Daughter was mortified that I stopped to chat with a celebrity.
Hey - scooter chats are nothing to be ashamed of, I told her.
Behind his mask, I think he said his heavily modded scooter was 122cc's.
He's a friendly fellow, shorter than I'd imagined.

Honda really does a nice job with these classy little Metros!
It looks so well put together from every side.


Miguel's tacos are worth the wait in line!

Was a little surprised to see a drum brake on the front!

Metropolitan reminds me of the Yamaha Vino.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

Its attention to detail and color choices makes me think Italian. It all works so well together.
If I were a wealthy (unmarried) man I'd have a pair of them for end tables in my living room.
And a pair of the new Cubs....one ea. color to wax on snowy days while watching football.

Christmas is just around the corner,  when your family ask's (what do you want for Christmas). I would have figured you would want a Vespa GTS 300 HPE at the bargin price of $7,800.

Now I wouldn't mind if Santa dropped of a Yamaha Super tenure or a Triumph Tiger, ho ho ho.

Never had any interest in a Vespa. Especially after watching Robot have to drop the engine just to get at the valves. $8K will buy a lot of nice used motorcycles.
