I'm also obsessed with the Genuine Stella (which is illegal in California), the Fuji Rabbit (which is incredibly hard to find), and early 80s Bajaj Chetaks. They're all so, so beautiful...

Do YOU have a ride, Roots?; ▶ Reply to This

There's a Baja on www.scoot.net right now. Don't see those [Baja] too often anymore...; ▶ Reply to This

..no busted face, and not TOO much hassle for me (yet? heh).; ▶ Reply to This
