i do not need a moped. i want a moped
i have a dirty secret. not dirty, really, but embarassing. it's just not the sort of thing that proper people talk about in public. especially not a scooterist. or motorcyclist. or whatever i am these days...
you see, for the last several years, i have been secretly aspiring to find the perfect moped. i have scavenged garage sales, newspapers, craigslist. i have seen hundreds, test pedaled a dozen, even almost offered on two, yet through all this time, i have refrained.
i'm looking for the perfect moped.
the problem is, i just can't put my finger on what that is. sometimes i think it's a model just like the one i had when i was in italy. sometimes i think a modern one might be cool... but forget all that crap: today, it's all about 80's bmx-style. white mag wheels and block graphics.
why, pray tell, am i admitting this now? i found one on craigslist. it is cheap. i am going to look at it lunch.
i do not need a moped. i really, really, really, do not need a moped.
really.
