Stig's Street Fair & a Helix sighting
« on: June 10, 2017, 09:29:52 PM »
I visit my coffee village frequently - and early mornings usually looks like this:





But, twice a year I invite friends to join me for a get-together. We talk scooters, (sliders vs rollers, synthetic vs Crisco, Kymco vs SYM, etc.) and all kinds of other meaningful stuff.


They just keep a'coming down the hill - even though we're out of dip and the Porta-Potties are getting pretty sporty!


On my way out of town I spotted this veteran scooter.

This goes on for 5 city blocks - both sides of the street, and over-flowing into the city park and the school yard.

Sounds like a great time Stig. Thanks for the pictures, and the nod to the Helix.

Well, that's a good point.
News today said there were 20 > 25 thousand people there. (which explains why we ran out of cheese dip so soon)
I learned that most of them are using Dr. P's, and prefer a stock Kymco belt.

Stigs Street Fair heh? Must be a mighty important guy. Must be all in which you ride.

Funny story; out and about on my SW yesterday and took my helmet and jacket in a restaurant to meet Deb for lunch. Had to go to the bathroom and I guess one of the guys in there had spotted my helmet out on our table. We're standing side by side doing our business and he says, "what kind of bike you ride, a Harley". I said, "na,  ride a motorscooter". He never said another word. Funny how scooters put the fear of God in folks.
