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...
