Well, no - it's not Italian!
« on: June 22, 2021, 02:10:42 PM »


A few years ago a new "European style" bakery was opening in my small Ohio city. Specializing in Italian pastries.
I happened to ride by one morning on my way out of town for coffee. Stopped for a photo op. It was their first day!
Out popped the owner to take pictures of my Italian scooter in front of his new establishment !
They promptly posted his photo of my LIKE200iLX on their instagram page.
"So European,  already!"
My daughter and wife enjoy buying there. Me, sadly I can find nothing that resembles a donut!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Maybe you can talk 'em into doing Taiwanese pastries, & make 'em look Italian.

Yeah, but to the uninitiated it looks a lot like a Lambretta!  Once rode one of those in the late 60’s and could never understand the clutch handgrip twist gear change set up. Always seemed such a convoluted approach to the challenge of actuating a gear change?
