While not technically design related, something interesting happened yesterday. Janet and I were on our way to visit a particular antique store on the north side. It was a beautiful day out and we’ve been excited to take the scooter out since we just recently got it running again.
Anywho, we’re cruising along Broadway near Wilson and all of a sudden the scooter, Henry, sort of jumps, kind of similar to a car when it’s running out of gas. Knowing this isn’t the case since we just filled up the day before, I start to kind of steer to the left. I don’t have much room since we’re in the left lane already and I don’t necessarily want to turn into oncoming traffic. At this point the scooter shuts off and the back tire locks up leaving us skidding at about 45 mph on a traffic-filled street. Fortunately, the car behind us was paying close attention and was able to veer out of the way.
Long story short, Henry, our scooter, isn’t quite running at the moment. A friend is coming to pick it up this evening to see about fixing it. We did salvage the day, though. We ended up at Broadway Antique Market and picked up a small side table, which is what I was in the market for.
I’ll post pictures of that soon, but for now, enjoy Henry…
