Ok so the weather was great here yesterday (as it is almost every day here in Southern California) and out of nowhere the little lady suggests a ride. This is saying something because she previously wasn't too into the idea of hopping on my scooter (read: wouldn't be caught dead on that thing). Needless to say, I obliged her.
Now, I'm about 200 lbs and she is a little over 100 lbs and between the two of us I was still able to cruise comfortably at about 50-53 mph (57-60 indicated). I couldn't believe the performance I was still able to get out my Buddy. Granted, having her on the back is more like wearing a very full backpack because she is small but I thought we might have some problems going up and down roads like PCH but, to my suprise, we had no speed issues at all.
As the afternoon progressed and the sun started going down over the ocean, I immediately became aware of the situation I was in and for a split second (or six) I thought I just might have scooted my ass into Shangri-La. In that moment, everything was perfect..... Then I saw a dead possum in the road and got a big whiff of that fart smell that sort of comes off of the ocean sometimes and it brought me back down to earth. Doesn't matter though, I had my moment and it was magical and no matter what, nobody can ever take that from me. We got back to her place about 45 minutes later and split a six pack. It was awesome.
You can't get those moments in your Honda Civic with the windows down.
TLDR; My Buddy is awesome, summer time by the Pacific Ocean is also awesome and I got a hot chick on the back of my scooter. I win.
Any other perfect moment idyllic Buddy stories?
Finally got my chick on the back of my Buddy
