Yes. For example, working on motor scooters, searching barns and sheds for old motor scooters, riding motor scooters, going to motor scooter meets and winning trophies at motor scooter shows.

So today, I went yard sailing. What? You didn't know I was a sailor?) As usual, I kept asking people if they had an old motor scooter, and if not, did they have any old fishing tackle. I buy junk fishing tackle and sell antique reels and lures to get money to buy motor scooters.

So guess what I bought. Two old trunks. One a medium sized hump back and the other a small sailors trunk that fits inside the other one. Condition was better than average, but there was no treasure in either one. I might sell them for enough dough to buy some motor scooter parts.
