Blake's Motor Cycle Withdrawals...

Two weeks into our living in Utah Blake comes home with a scooter...

He rode it as much as the cold weather permitted him, mostly stashing it at Corban and Teneill's place and driving the few blocks to campus from there and then to his classes since you get up front parking with scooters and bikes. Parking wasn't the only pro to having this extra addition to Blake's list of vehicles he has owned. Compared to driving his truck, it saved him $20 in gas a week when he would drive it from Pleasant Grove, where we live, to Provo, where he goes to school. I was quite impressed how much he could "down-grade" from the Suzuki GSX-R 600, (Tim the Toolman grunt) which shuts off at 176 MPH and unfortunately Blake knows this for a fact...
Isn't he so cute on this little scooter that can't get over 45 MPH?!
My favorite is the helmet that doesn't cover half of his face!!
(Can't you hear the tinkling of fairies?)

Well, it lasted 2 months
and if you know Blake that is actually a long time to own a vehicle.
He sold the scooter for 3x more than he bought it for and came home with
his MANHOOD!!
1982 Yamaha Virago 750

I won't mention that I had to pick him up off the side of road because
he ran out of gas.

It needed some work and polished up real nice!!
Blake had a lot of fun getting his hands dirty to get it running smooth!
Did I mention he sold the scooter for $650 and bought the bike for $500?
Because of that I can't complain!
Unless Blake can trade the bike for a house he might just keep it...
we'll see!
