The local celebrity arrived in the village in his G Wagon.
As I was climbing on to head out into the rain he came across the street to go into Tom's grocery - we swapped humor, ("Say, you got an umbrella bud?", "You're a crazy mother for riding in this!")
He said something about friends or family owning a "couple Kymcos", then told me to be careful. (helmet and earplugs - so I didn't catch all of the conversation) Friendly guy.
It is an understanding that he & his family can enjoy living in this village of 3500 souls, quietly, and without photos. (daughter & I saw him beg off pix by a couple of tourists one day - he did it diplomatically)
He used to own a heavily modded scooter - and still rides various motorcycles.

Very wet ride - thought about that old Power Pure under me!
Hanging up wet gear and wiping down the scooter is another 45 mins of tasks when home.

** daughter speculates that my rainy days in 'Nam are why I don't shy away from rainy scooter rides....quoting me, "It rains. You get wet. Then you dry. Don't mean nothin'!"
