Day 135 – Four Wheels

7

135/365 (May 15, 2010) – Kirk’s new toy next to mine. My little scooter gave him the itch to have a motorcycle again, and it had to be blue.

But here’s the funny bit…his “blue is better” mantra started when we rented scooters in Greece back in 2005. His blue one there broke down, so I always say “Red is better, blue ones break”. So yesterday we were in a lot practicing riding pylons and figure eights. After about an hour Kirk said, two more runs and then we will go. I zipped around the corner and waited, and waited….where did he go?

When I came back he was sitting there on his shiny new bike and sheepishly said “It won’t start”.

Honestly, it was like a strange case of deja-vu  … it was like the aliens had sucked him off the earth again! (scroll to May 13th and read the entry for an explanation)

So, guess who had to help push start it? And in the process, I slipped on some loose rocks and fell and bashed my knee.

“My” little red (and white) bike has “always” started.

See? Blue is not better! And when I graduate to a motorcycle….it will be red!
