Who knew???





                                                                                                                                                              My lovely wife and I went away for the weekend, a while back.  We wanted to do something for our wedding anniversary.  She was going to a hair show in the Anaheim area on Sunday, and we decided to hit Disneyland for a couple of days on Monday and Tuesday..  No big surprise that I wasn't really crazy about hanging out at a hair show.  So, I came up with a plan to entertain myself for the day.  After all, I was in the Los Angeles area, there are tons of things to do..  I am a big fan of the Peterson Automotive Museum,and hadn't been in a year or so. So I decided I would go the 50 or so miles out of my way to check it out.  I had also researched the closest Bob's Big Boy to my location, but I will cover that later...   I have been there a ton of times, and many of the displays do not change, while others get rotated on a regular basis.  There are different themes that come and go.  The major display when I went was "scooters".  I wasn't crazy about this, but knew it before I went down.  Nothing will ever beat the Kustoms with a "K" display they had a couple of years ago...

At any rate, it was very kool..  I love pretty much anything old anyway, but found a whole new respect for this following.  The one great thing about this display was that there weren't a bunch of the same Vespas, just painted a different color.  Most of it consisted of the "other" manufacters, which I really enjoyed.  Don't let this post fool you, I WILL NOT be collecting scooters.  But sure found a new respect for something that doesn't get much from me...
