Who is Buddy? Buddy is Mama's scooter. He came with the name, so Mama is not going to change it. BOL!

| See, his name is on the scooter. |
We thought Mama's scooter frustrations were over, but they are not. They drove 80 miles to buy Buddy. They didn't want to buy him from Pigman II, so they went to a different dealership. Everything was going great with the sale and then Mama asked about the temporary plates. This dealership doesn't do that and, in fact, they said that no dealership does. That is not true. All the other dealerships that the folks visited do it. The folks almost walked out on the deal because without temporary plates, Mama can't drive it on the road. The people at the dealership made all sorts of phone calls, but couldn't help. Mama decided that she could either buy the scooter on Saturday and send off for her Texas plates and wait for them or wait another week and buy from Pigman II. She decided to buy the scooter and wait for the plates. She could get temporary plates, but that requires a trip to the DMV which requires a trip in a taxi. The price of those temporary plates get expensive when you do that. She will wait for her Texas license plates to arrive. They may be here by the end of next week or the beginning of the next week. She could try and get temporary plates on Saturday, but is it really worth it? She doesn't know anymore.
Yesterday, Mama drove Buddy for the first time. She is pretty nervous, so she is going to practice more. She wouldn't be hitting the streets for a few days even if she had the plates now. She doesn't like going around curves. Dad says it is because she is going under 10 mph and it is harder to control at a slow speed. The speed limit is only 10 mph in the park, so she can't go faster. She still has trouble starting out, but she is getting better. Last night, she watched training videos on You Tube and one instructor said to take your time and don't worry what people think about you practicing. Mama liked him. BOL!

| Scout decided to do her own inspection of Buddy. |

| Scout does not approve. |
Mama has already ordered a few items for Buddy. I am not sure I like all the attention he is getting.

To Patty, Joey, And Scout,
ReplyDeleteI had a scooter like that and wanted to go with my greyhounds, so my dad put a metal CB antenna on the rear rack, and the two leashes were attached, and off we went, having a great time with the greys running and me riding the scooter! Have fun!
Well, I don't see that happening with my greys. I would definitely crash. Joey would run one way and Scout would refuse to run. LOL It would not go well.
DeleteI was just going to ask if your mama plans to let you walk along beside the scooter! BOL! I guess not! I still think it needs pink racing stripes on it. That would make it totally jazzy!

I know here in Michigan, you only need a sticker if it is 50cc or under, a plate if it is over - not sure about other states.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little scooter, it will be really useful and economical to drive around.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Joey could sit on the back and help steer :)he looks very interested, like most boys with bikes!

I think Buddy and momma will have many adventures together. Scout is very thorough in her inspection.
