Title: Coffee ride on nice fall Saturday
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on October 15, 2016, 11:41:53 PM

Stig asked ---
Who invented coffee....and what did they ride before scooters?

- Abyssinian  (Ethiopian) Monks.
- Bicycles, & livestock.

These answers brought you by Nerds who take things literally.
Nerds.  Infesting the interweb since before you knew it existed. :)

Thanks Tromper,
 I'll share this with the boys the next time we lose the keys -and are stuck inside the work truck.
(county workers - so it'll be awhile before someone figures out we don't need a key to get out)

Rode to my coffee village today - followed by wife & daughter #4 in the xB. Behind too many in line ordering 19-part coffee drinks in two of the shops - so retired to the Goat for a nice cuppa Guacamole-ian (or was it Guatemalan bean?) and pleasant outside seating at a table not cleaned since Jane was posing in Hanoi.
Beautiful fall day with the scoot, the family & coffee.
Was going to park the Burgman here ...but no....

Czech "Cz" bike was the most interesting to me. 125cc, 2-stroke, in very nice condition.
 Early 1970's?
Too many people around his bike for a photo - but looked pretty much like this, except brown & yellow:

This would have been a really nice 2nd gen. VW bulli - but he went with SoCal beach look for paint and upholstery colors, wheels & lowering.

A few of the bikes that gather every sunny weekend day in front of our coffee shop in Chagrin Falls...

Another look. Lots of bikes.

Ha, yeah, I know. But in Chagrin Falls we sometimes live the "island life". Anybody know what size scooter that might be?
