anyone have any stickers?


here i am on our new scooter. well, it ain't very new as you can tell. almost all the scooters here are the same - beat-up, often not functioning for some reason, and costing about $200. that's what we paid for it. we bought it off another C21 realtor.

scooters rapidly change hands here - you can imagine that there is a significant amount of turnover with kitesurf instructors, surf instructors, etc. who all use scooters to get around. though many just rely on the motoconcho (small motorcycle taxi) that costs 10 pesos (30 cents) to take from one end of town to the other,

this scooter is for when we're too lazy to walk from one side of town to the other, or if we're really adventurous to take out to kite beach or encuentro beach.

we need some stickers for it or to paint it rasta colors or something. anyone who comes to visit, bring us a cool sticker and we'll put it on it! then, we'll think off you everytime we use it. ;-)

current things not working on the scooter:

  • front headlight - that's ok because we'd be out of minds to drive it at night
  • "start" button - we just kick-start it instead
  • brakes - well, um, they're working but they act strangely when trying to back up the scooter
  • the lock - i fully expect every time i go to use it, that it will be stolen. but it hasn't been yet.
