I went home a different way yesterday, and drove past this large apartment complex near home. I’m pretty sure the red scooter is my old scooter, my first scooter. I sold it to a local guy, who let it sit in the garage for about a year and then sold it for barely more than half what he paid me for it. I should have bo ught it back.

It’s sad to see the other scooter just laying on it’s side for who knows how long. The designated motorcycle parking for this complex is in the back corner of the visitors lot.

I’m guessing the cover blew off of this Yamaha a while back too.  Lots of surface rust on the tank.

This is a specific area set aside for motorcycles.

Is the one on its side missing the back wheel?

Uh, it’s a cafe racer, that rust is called patina, including the rust on the rotor.

No, it’s wrapped up under the cover.

It must be one of those goofy extended-swingarm deals then?

I thought the same, those are huge spots for dedicated motorcycle parking, they’re like half that size at my work parking lot

I could hear a Sarah Mclachlan song playing while I looked at these pictures.

Nah, just a weird angle. Here’s a closer pic of that one.

Actually, maybe it is missing the rear wheel. Now I need to go look tomorrow :)

There's plenty of room in this lot. I've never seen it more than half full.
