Straight off the boat (Ferry) and walking around the town, we were hollered over by these boys to rent a scooter. It wasn't exactly what we had in mind for our day on MV, but we got sucked in and had a great time. It was one of the best memories of our tour. 1 Bill got us a 4 hour, 2 person, scooter that goes a maximum of 25 MPH on the streets of MV and that included fuel, insurance, helmets, rental fee and tax. What more could you expect?
Now these boys are bit edgy like you would expect boys to be around motorcycles all day--so we had to find and fit our own helmets in the helmet room. My little lady--bless her heart, needed a small helmet, and had to settle for a medium that kept sliding down her face no matter how tight she made it.
During the ride I kept pleading," Keep your hands around me, not one hand on your helmet," for safety sake I was afraid that one bump, and she would be gone.
Now the man that set us up on the scooter and gave me a lesson in safety and operation--he gets a 5 star from me for his knowledge and concern. He is a true asset to this operation. I will never forget his consideration.
Then we took this pee shooter all over the Island in 4 hours. From Oak Bluffs to Eagertown for Lunch, to the beach in Katama, over to MV Airport, through Tisbury, Beach Road to East Chop (Beautiful), and all over Oak Bluffs until we had to return and board the ferry again--I was so sad to leave.
It's been a long time since we inhaled so much exhaust and carbon dioxide from the piles of traffic we encountered all over our route. And I don't know if I mentioned earlier that these babies go a maximum of 25 MPH, so at no other time in my life have I been passed by so many cars, trucks, and buses as that day.
But we had the time of our lives and we will never forget it. read more
