Hey, Andrew! This is totally my scooter. It broke down in some way that is totally beyond my understanding and I’m currently making the heart wrenching decision between the hefty cost of fixing it at a shop or selling it off. I park it on the sidewalk because the idea of paying for a parking permit on the block for a busted vehicle makes me cringe.

That aside: it’s a totally redneck move. Come by this weekend and we’ll sit on the porch drinking PBR and talking about all sorts of theoretical ways to fix it, NASCAR, and our favorite Jeff Dunham routines.

You’re not a hipster? I think the earth was just thrown off of its axis.

You should where I live on Bernalwood. It’s the exact equivalent of Appalachia I’ve seen in South Carolina @ where Deliverance was filmed. Except, replace old rusted trucks from the 1940′s with bikes.

This is my house. It’s only been here since February. (I live in the front unit, this is the back.) Usually there are two scooters.

I’ve seen this scooter move around. No cinder blocks under the wheels yet..

Plus, you overlooked the badass mod of putting motorcycle handlebars on a scooter. Friggin’ awesome.

How bout your roommate that has seven non-functioning bikes in your front hall? I always thought that was some hipster redneck shit.

That’s how I got my last scooter- it was parked in front of my building for 2+ years so I left a note offering to buy it.

I think “hipster rednecks” better describes people who get fried chicken, corn dogs & Icees from the gas station on 17th & South Van Ness and bring them to Uptown. Not a hipster or a redneck, but … guilty.

At least that thing has some hope of running again, right after one of us takes advantage of your “heads-up” and steals it.

Except that those new plastic scooters that cost quite a bit of money to buy and must be maintained by a shop are what yuppies in sf ride, not hipsters. If it were a busted moped, old motorcycle or scooter it would be hipster redneck.
