The next day my buddy calls, his GF wants to sell her 1991 Yamaha Jog. Of course i'll buy it fro $350 I said. A few hours later my buddy called back, his mom crashed it on the way from their shed to my buddy's house. It wasn't on a curve, just going straight, 30mph big gust of wind I guess and she lost control. WEAR A HELMET EVEN ON A SCOOTER, JUST DRIVING 2 MILES AWAY. She's got her motorcycle licence but was dumb and didn't wear a helmet. Hairline skull fracture and smashed up face. She spent the night in the hospital and had plastic surgery on her nose because it was that messed up.
Anyways.....So now the headlight bezel is smashed and the aftermarket windshield is broken, but other than that, not bad. So he he sold me the Jog for $200.
Then last night while telling this story to friends I check craigslist and a guy is selling a Spree and a kymco zx50 for $500. He doesn't know if they run or not, hasn't tried in 3 years just wants them gone. Called him ASAP, paypalled him $100 to hold them and i'm picking them up in the next day or so.
I think the scooter gods are feeling sorry for me by giving up my sweet 2.5 car garage which has a bathroom in it. My wife and I are turning it into a Bake Shop. She's a graduate of the French Pastry School in Chicago. I'm going to live garageless for a few years until we can determine if we need to expand the Bake Shop, can afford a new garage, or if the business is failing and I need to turn it back into a garage.
The garage use to be a Bait Shop, so my house is zoned neighborhood business. My buddy wanted me to sell lures and call it, Steffens' Bake and Tackle. GET IT?
P.S. I'll post some eye candy pics of the scooters in a few days once they're in my possession.
