Lotsa scooters out

[Kami no Chiizu]

So, over the weekend, I rode with my father who went up to WV to pick up my grandparents, to drive them all the way out to Paducah, KY, to stay with my uncle. Saw a lot of scooters out, at least, more than I normally do.

We went down by the riverj, a big ole paddle wheel boat was down there. Saw 2 Metros, a Ruckus, and a Vino 125. Then, on the way back, yesterday, we stopped in Dawson Springs. Seems we've got an old photo album from one of my mother's late aunt's... there's pictures of her in Dawson Springs, dated from 1926. Last year, my parents drove out to try to figure out why she would be all that way from WV. Anyhow, while we were in town, we got passed by 3 scooters. Two Yamaha Majesty's, riding with a group of motorcycles, and later by a Suzuki Burgman. And after we got back on the interstate, we passed another Majesty. I don't think I've ever seen one on the road, and now I've seen 3 in a matter of hours. And then later on, there was another scooter on the other side of the interstate. I didn't catch what it was, though.

Oh, and to make matters worse, I was really feelin' the hunger when we were passing through Knoxville... then we went by the Smokey Mountain National Park exits... it was rough.

Over here i see a lot of scooters, but most are Chinese junk, and they just stay on the road for a couple of months, two of my coworkers have the same model, both with a 125cc engine and both leak oil and sound sick

Yeah, I didn't see nothin' Chinese, it was weird. Of course, the only 50s I saw were the two Metros and the Ruckus. Dont' see too many big Chinese crap (though you still do).

Other than the occasional Tomos moped, most of the scooters I see are good ones. Most of them are Honda's and Yammy's (quite a few older ones actually) with the occasional Vespa. Derbi makes some nice scoots.
