Went north for a day trip to Portland last week and noticed the interesting juxtaposition of a Smart Car and a motor home in the Premier Resorts RV park east of Coburg. Road the scooter back up on Sunday to make a late afternoon snap. The California license plates on the rigs read “Toe EE” and “Toe ER.” Which one’s which?

Steps to fix a scooter flat

Posted by CD • 7:57pm

Contact the insurance company to learn that scooters aren’t covered for towing. Call Ray’s Towing to arrange for the $75 tow downtown to get the tire replaced. Learn that it might be wise to get AAA Premier in case it happens again. Go back downtown to pick it up Pay $112.74 for a new tire with installation.

I’ve always wondered what would happen if I got a flat tire on the scooter. Road repair isn’t simple or convenient. Since Wheelworks is closed on Sunday, I had to wait until Monday to arrange to get the Vespa flat fixed.
