32mph of Pure Bliss

They say it's the small things in life that sometimes bring the most happiness. For me, it was buying a 1972 Bermuda Flandria peddle start moped. While it's top speed of 32mph it is no crazy thrill ride, but I absolutely love that little orange moped I named Clementine.

After a few weeks of running strong after I bought her, she started giving me a little trouble. Thus, my small engine repair career began. I felt like a 1st grader in Calculus when I first started working on Clementine, but after a couple weeks of taking the whole moped apart, I know classify myself as an expert... well kinda. (And I must say, DP gave me a lot of help albeit actual help or moral support!)

Needless to say, 32mph is slow, but it's fun... and it's kinda left me wanting to move from 49cc's to around 500cc's... maybe just maybe... but don't tell my mom.

While it probably sounds silly that a dumb moped made me happy, I think everyone should find something no matter how silly or dumb, and enjoy it. Life's too short not too.
