Since last time, the Honda Express was running, ridden and then stolen.
It was brief and fun while it lasted, but even on the first ride, I found myself more than that little one speed 50cc scoot would be able to give me, even if it was tuned properly (which it was not). Still, even though it wasn't fast and could have probably benefited from more than one gear ratio, and a more skilled mechanic, it was wonderfully grin inducing. That little undersized and underpowered scooter never failed to make me smile and laugh inside my helmet.
Then, one august morning, it was gone and the only thing left behind was a cut link of the chain next to the signpost where it was locked and a scooter shaped hole in my heart. I guess all things come to an end at some point, it just felt like my time with that Honda was too short.
In memorium, I post an interview with the guy that runs Bixby Moto, a scooter shop in California that might or might not be still open.

I realize that this is old news, but seeing as basically no one reads this, or even reads blogs anymore, my lack of timeliness really doesn't matter.
Either way, I really like Bixby Moto. It's a shining beacon of fun in a community that often takes itself far to seriously.
"I’d rather have a handbag than a show bike."
Oh hey! It turns out Bixby Moto isn't dead! They just put up a new video like a week ago!
I'm glad to see them still having fun time.
In other news, I took my MSF class and got my motorcycle license, so if anyone wants to give me a motorcycle or sell me one for cheap, I'm all ears... not that anyone is going to see this, but ya know, it doesn't hurt to ask.
