Having just picked up the scooter from the warehouse still in its crate, I rode it to Amsterdam nearly 100kms away from the docks of Rotterdam where the boat landed. In the heart of Amsterdam we (scooter and I) stopped at a new place recently opened called SCOOTER CENTRE WESTwhich sells locks, scooters and does great service. Right away, the bike was up on his stand being serviced for oil leaking out by the filter seal. I bought a 4 star lock and chain and left her out last night on a canal. Off to go for a ride today with a local fellow who drives a 1970 BMW. We did a loop up to Edam, yes, the cheese town and tasted the local fromage.
