Spoke with a helmet owner in the coffee shop....
« on: March 28, 2021, 04:03:33 PM »


In to town with my daughter recently. Walked into the coffee shop to carry out our order.
Fellow sitting nearby had an expensive looking black helmet on his small table.
I asked, "excuse me, what are you riding?"
"A BMW."
"Ah, I just ride scooters", I said.

He spun around his small laptop and showed me a photo of his BMW - "it's a scooter, too!" he said, smiling. I think he said it was a 650....it was white.

"Tom! - Large with cream and a caramello for the daughter, yes?" bellowed Dino over the heads of 2 customers in front of me.

BMW guy looked at me questioningly - "Yeah, I ride my scooter here a lot of mornings before sunrise. - This time of day he knows I'm here with my daughter."

Another nice German vehicle pulled up next to us. Older couple went across to the Winds for lunch.
My daughter was facing it when they pulled up - she said "that's a pretty one of those Olympic cars."


I looked around, but never found the BMW guy's scooter. Town was pretty crowded.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Oh, I don't doubt that he had that scooter in town. There were plenty of big bikes parked up and down the main drag, and off in smaller lots near town center on this warm sunny day.
Spoke with Dave Chappelle about his scooter in the same coffee shop --- think it was last summer. He siad, no, he'd just sold it. Seemed surprised that I knew about it.
Here he is parked about 50 ft from the same coffee shop. Not wearing gear - but he lives about 1.5 miles from where he's parked here.
