I dropped the scooter off this morning. When Bobby answered his door he said,” Hey your the yellow Manco Hornet guy” Turns out he was the mechanic at the place I bought my scooter from in ‘03. We used to shoot the shit a lot when I was having massive troubles with that scooter. I couldn’t believe he remembered me. I’m not sure I would have remembered him. He put on a bit of weight, as we all have. I think he remembered my timbuk2 bag more than anything with the Mod target Who patch.

That was a bad time. I was basically pushed into buy a scooter that they knew was junk and needed to get rid of in their stock. The mechanic Bobby was the one that finally told me that model was a lemon. He even said today he was stuck working on so many of that model scooter that it drove him nuts. They were unfixable and the warranty was a joke. Basically wouldn’t stay tuned. It would only do 20 mph instead of the 35 mph it used to do.
