Parked right outside. Locking an expensive Moped with a lock that can be defeated in 1 second with
a $30 tool. Of course my neighbors constantly amaze me - like complaining about the rats then leaving the trash out for many hours to feed them.

Across the street there is a modern Masi locked to a tree fence where it can easily bit beat up by a errant delivery truck.

Bikes: I used to have many. And I Will again.

Tool? Who needs a tool?!? I'll lift the cable and front of the scooter over the pole.

It's Boston. After living there for 15 years, I've learned the town has its own flavor of the pseudo-intellectual urban elite.
Let's face it, for some folks the learning curve is much steeper.

I'm wondering why you took a picture of the scooter and not the Masi??

Me too.

I think he just put in that part about the Masi so we'd look and see the "Nitro". Not even a Vespa.

You should inspect the scooter to see if it has any Campagnolo parts. If it does, buy it.

I wonder how easy that would be - those things are probably a bit heavier than a moped. And you wouldn't get far with the cable through the front wheel.

Bu if somebody wants to truck it away, it's gone :-)
