Sure some people made jokes and my family definitely was not thrilled as the rider is definitely more vulnerable to injury but I could not let that deter me. I started saving up some money and decided that I would look for a used one since after doing a lot of research, the kind I wanted would be out of my budget for now. Upon searching Craigslist for a few weeks I found a retro style 150cc scooter that was perfect for me! ... Except for the color. It was my least favorite color- Powder Pink. But everything else about it was perfect so I called up the seller and tried to arrange a time to get it which proved to be most difficult as it was at least an hour and half's drive away and the timing was awful. I had to work all week and my man had symphony gigs for the next 2 weeks and the seller was busy weekends.
I tried to work something out with the seller and she said that she would definitely hold it for me. The date was set that I would go for it and a couple of hours before heading there, I made a courtesy call to make sure the seller was alright with it. She tells me then that she sold it... My heart sank. I had been so excited about it for 2 weeks already and this lady who told me not to worry sold it to someone else without even letting me know.
Despite my urges, I refrained from telling that lady off or getting too upset. After all that wouldn't make the scooter suddenly available to me. I got back on Craigslist and to my surprise there were 2 new posts that looked promising. I made a few calls and well ended up getting a different scooter that afternoon. The scooter I ended up with is larger than the one I first had my eyes on but it felt so right and it's even my old school colors. LOL Go Raiders!
