An old man riding around on ancient motor scooters should expect to get a lot of kidding. It even came from my older sister, Maxine (a.k.a. Macky). She even posted it on my blog:

"As a typcial older smart alec sister I used to tease my brother about his collection of Cushman scooters. I have decided that they are a great hobby for him and that it is a real neat thing.
I went to a real scooter meet and saw all the great scooters and the nice people that collect them and I can now say that it is good for him and a great way to meet people and have a great time. I will have to think of something else to tease him about because I must still be his big sister and try to aggravate him as much as possible.
Some day I will ride one of the scooters if he will let me.
signed Big sister, Macky."

Frankly, it's the best post on my blog.
