The second ET8 showed up just this week. We bought it from a lovely die hard Christian lady named Karen who had taken wonderful care of it. Despite the relatively high milage, the scooter is in great mechanical and body condition and totally warranted and registered.
There was a bit of what Karen called "sign writing" on the bike as you can see. One side pod directing you to read Galatians 2:20 and the other displaying the phrase "Jesus Wept". The top box was also covered in various religious bumper stickers. Since we will probably go with a different theme for any stickers or "sign writing" on the bike, Simon carefully removed the wording from the body and took off the top box which is to be replaced with a chrome rack matching the other bike. To honour where the bike has come from, we are for the moment calling it "JC".
Once we had some spare time, we decided to go out for a ride with both bikes. We went back to Shelley Beach since it was such a lovely ride last time and because we wanted to get some of the really awesome avacados that come from an orchard out that way.

Wow. Those are a very nice pair of scooters.
That's an interesting reference to put on the side of a vehicle...I suppose it must have meant something to the previous owner.
oh, nm, i get it now, it's Galatians 2:20, not 2:2. I went and read Gal. 2:2 and said to myself, well, that's a rather wierd verse to put on the side of a scooter. LOL
Thanks, we love our new pair of scoots! Yes, Galatians 2:20. The previous owner as we said was quite religious and felt the need to tell others through the signwriting on her scooter.
