--+ A Judgement on Scooters +--

I was walking by 17th and S Sts NW and saw this cluster of Vespas. My dad had an old Lambretta scooter. It still had it's original paint, red and white. It has crome trim everywhere, including around the seat cushions. He never rode it himself; I guess he bought it for me. I use to ride it around in the fields at the farm when I was a kid. I'd forget the brake was a clutch and fly into the brush at the edge of the field.


[Can you ride a scooter and still be taken seriously? I don't think I can answer this one. But sometimes when I want to know if something is really cool or not I ask myself, "What Would Johnny Cash Do?"]
