OK, so our cabin is in the second curve of what, I suppose, could be called a 'subdivision'. We tend to give a nod a a wave to our neighbors as they drive by. Never gave it much thought.
Today some guy we didn't know dropped by our place. He came up as if we were old friends. He explains that he took the MSF course and was looking at his first bike. He explained, "I should talk to Chet and Ruth. They're always riding off on one of their bikes."
Now, while we didn't know this guy from Adam he seemed perfectly nice. My wife pulled me aside and said, "I think he's the 'Romney guy'." This was based upon a yardful of signs during the fall.
What caught us off guard was his questions. His queried us on which type of scooter he should buy. He mentioned that he traveled a lot by RV and he wanted a bike that would be able to fill in a variety of needs. We directed him toward the KLR 650. Easy to ride, cheap, you can ride it anywhere, easy to fix.
He seemed a little disappointed. He mentioned a couple typed of scooters and we both offered that we really couldn't help with that. We just didn't know anything about scooters.
We were mostly taken aback that any of our neighbors actually knew our names.
