Last Christmas, after giving a ride to the Florida sales representative, she gave me a metal scooter as a gift. It is much tougher than ScooterBob, but lacks the personality I can feel in the wooden scooter.

Dueling Scooters
As an architect, I get to specify materials for the houses I design. One of the products that gets used often is a line of plumbing fixtures called Waterworks. It is a very high end line with very expensive fixtures and tiles. But they always look great.

It's not the lack in personality with your metal scooter, it is just that it hasn't been around the world just yet ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe metal one could handle the rigors of the travels much better. It is actually quite a good one.
DeleteI think ScooterBob is enjoying the rides. To Georgia tomorrow.
I almost prefer the fragile vulnerable wooden one. I know from the accounts of its travels posted here, that many who spent time on this experiment took time out to mend the scooter's wounds. It is something special to hold that scooter, to take the time to make repairs, that creates a special bond among us.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill, and thank you to each of the others who have hosted ScooterBob.
Something about the fragility of the wooden ScooterBob feels appropriate for its current mission. It will continue to need repairs as it travels. The baggie will continue to fill with parts. When my friends see me pull ScooterBob out from under the seat, they wonder what I am up to. When they hear the story, they all understand. They all like to ride.

DeleteRust or woodworm? Something will get you in the end....Looking forward to the blogs!
ReplyDeleteI love the scooter face off photos. Glad the wooden model made it to you on it's journey.
ReplyDeleteIt may not have as much character, but I love your metal scooter nonetheless.
