Title: Stig's vacation pix & Selfie !
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on June 26, 2015, 04:06:19 PM
Spent a little too much on my new NOLAN helmet (pix later)-- but this place had very good prices for our anniversary dinner in Florida.

For lunch I recommend the blackened shrimp tacos at the Pub.

Some scooter shots..All 5 of these scoots had over 5000 miles on them. They ride 'em!

One of the nicer 50's I saw. The vast majority of the many scooters I saw looked like internet 50's (but were likely from local dealers) and most looked sun-burnt w/about 1500 miles on them.

Kept trying to run over these kids, but they were too quick. My 1st exp. w/a back-up camera.

Lots of great sunsets....most of the time we were in the ocean for them.(a few 'shark!' alerts --- ea. time they were dolphins)

Toilets: Pass-A-Grille museum...

And was tossed too quickly to get the name of this fancy restaurant in downtown St. Petersburg (check out the private stalls!)

Some kind of bird....not seen in Ohio.

Union meeting....

Little what's-her-name feeding the fish...

Everybody takes pix in Fla.
(http://i59.tinypic.com/m73s4m.jpg)

We have a lot of green in Ohio....but Florida looks like a well kept nursery.

Finally found my LIKE200i down here...10,600 miles on it. Salt air is tough on 'em. Lost his muffler cap; orig. front tire, new rear. Lost a screw or two - holed seat cover - but wanted to shake the hand of a LIKE owner who sat that seat for 10K+ miles!!

Bunch of sun burnt Aprilia rentals.....

and, finally, The STIG Selfie (nice shirt! 100% cotton, made in Hawaii; pricey, but Mrs. Stig says I'm worth it)

This is a great post Stig. I almost feel like I'm sitting beside you. (don't look to your left). You picked a tough time of year tho. It's getting microwave hot.

Just a few tips so you don't stand out as a tourist...
As soon as you relocate, scooter maintenance goes out the door.
You learn where to safely buy sugar in 50lb sacks.
 Those fancy Hawaii shirts become the good napkins, and you learn how to smoke, stuff, then deep fry  birds... Not take pictures of them.

The girl in the fish is accurate.

 We swim in the back of pickup trucks lined with tarps. If you want to surf... Grab a rope, and wait for rain (about 4:30PM every day). Someone is always drunk enough to drag you around behind said truck.

Why we have 49 extra states I have NO idea.

Sorry Karl,
Coco and Calypso are both big bosomed mannequins......
They've been standing out there causing fender benders on the street for a couple of years.

PS: Ohio gets miserably hot & humid every summer.....but we don't have the ocean, ocean breezes and pools to cool us off.
Been going to Florida this time of year for 10 yrs.....lived there for 8 yrs as a kid. Love it.
Gotta be 100% cotton -- I knew a guy who exploded in DaNang wearing a polyester shirt (or maybe it was in Phu Bai).
