The “scooter” way of life

So Athens has a incredible number of really awesome scooters I have been attempting to gather a collection

of Athens scooters. A majority of the time I see them cruising on the street and can’t get a shot. My landlord

charges around on one and swears by its efficiency. My landlords name is Robert he is a very nice man. He is a 54 year old tourism coordinator originally from Austria. He was explaining to me that scooters in Athens are not just a quick way around they are really “A way of Life” now i love scooters just as much as the next guy and I usually have a good laugh when I hear the joke about scooters:Q: what do fat chicks and scooters have in common? A: They are fun to ride until your friends find out! Now I kind of chuckled when Robert said it was a way of life and then told him the joke. He didn’t think it was funny it must be the Austrian no sense of humor in him. Anyways he continued to give me some reasons that scooters are a way of life and not just a way of transportation. #1 you are on your own. #2 you can see the whole world nothing is blocking you vision. #3 they are not good for long amounts of time so breaks are welcome. #4 you can always find a spot to park, #5 good gas mileage, #6 when traffic is stop the scooter can always find a way through. He then expunged on a the philosophy of his life about staying alone and always keep moving and in reality brought up a decent argument or at least you could tell he had though about it. Now I don’t know if I will take up to the scooter philosophy but I am convinced it is a good way around!
