Sighted the famous White Whale!
« on: July 30, 2022, 12:22:50 AM »


Daughter and I were downtown for library run and a coffee when I came upon this great beast.
My 1st live sighting!
He seemed to have shaken off at least one harpooning along the right footboard - and was sporting 3 deer callers on the front fender. (the mechanics at the county garage who have to un-wrinkle the hoods of night-patrolling deputy cars every month - really love the job security of these deer devices!)

Saw one fleeing in Florida - but this is my first chance up close!



Great color for this model, I think.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

What are the odds that two totally different white motorized contraptions would have similar wounds on their right side. Has some of the shine come off your quaint village? Perhaps anti-Chappelle folks…

No. This (one) scooter was 20miles from Yellow Springs. Fellow out to dinner I think. As old as it is, not surprising it has battle scars.

No sorry Stig, does nothing for me. The current 400 is far prettier!
