Okay… so it’s NOT a Vespid… it’s one of those “near” Vespid scooters… that try to replicate the classic styling of a vintage Vespid. Lower price point… still gets you from point A to B.
Randie and Ryan
Tripping through married life…
‘And she does zero to sixty in twenty second!’
‘Really?’
“Or was that zero to twenty in sixty seconds?’
I always spell out the numbers because I get paid by the character. When my tiny lady vet’s Harley arrived, it had tape on the seat just like that. Removing it from the seat was not a problem. Removing it from the seat of my pants was another matter.
Yes, there are some things that you cannot fix with a coat of primer… a ripped seat is one of them. Well… make sure you check your backside when removing yourself from scooter.
The tape should be sticky on both sides – it serves as your seat belt. Which brings us back to that warning against riding your scooter in your birthday suit.
Being an imitation Vespid, I suppose that makes it a Vespula vulgaris (the scientific name for the common European wasp) I will give it the Cherokee nickname Kana’tsi’detsa’Usdi or ‘Little Wasp’. Sorry that Cherokee words for common things are often insanely long!
So long as she doesn’t repaint it in garden gnome colors she should be all right…
I can guarantee you there will be no gnome representations on this scooter’s paint job!
No gnome stickers either.
May want to let Randie take it out on her own first. A kid should have that first moment of a new present all to themselves.
That and you want to make sure it can handle two people. 😉
True… and it’ll be snug… the seats are a little shorter than the Vespid counterpart.
The best gifts are functional and long wished for. They don’t need to be flashy. That’s my experience at least! Something you can get many miles on (literally in this case) is always better than a pretty thing you never even look at after a while.
True. When I was fourteen, I asked, instead of getting a bicycle (like my brothers did that year), that I get a typewriter instead. I’ve still got it, I still (despite computers) use it occasionally.
Nothing like the feeling of a classic typewriter, in all honesty! I still use one my grand-dad used to own from time to time just because I feel like it.
Love is a multi-varied splendor. It’s pretty sweet when you get to fulfill someone’s wish like that.
Life is full of ups and downs… this is definitely an UP. It is sweet. We need to dwell on those ups.
“Creative financing”…good to know Leopold Bloom is still in business, even in jail (creative accounting, same difference).
Still loving the painted backgrounds!
Ryan is winking there at Spill… a play on words as well. *wink*
Thank you… I wanted to make this particular cartoon very happy… thus all the orange and yellow. There needed to be spectacular-ness…so the splatter-yness was also a conscious thing. The colors are also a nice contrast with the grays & blues. Gosh, being an artist is fun.
Fastest present unwrapper in the West.
