Sat. morning ck and m2 and I decide to rent little scooters at the beach. I have never been on one in my life, but I am always up for something new. How big of a mistake this was...we found out about 5 minutes into the trip. I was making a turn and turning the throttle at the same time...and realized I was going to hit someones parked car. So I aimed for their driveway..well, that didn't work either..I sideswiped the car and knocked the passenger side mirror off while careening at what had to be 30 mph towards a concrete table...at this point I am completely freaking out and am hitting the brake and the throttle at the same time. Thankfully, I manage to avoid a huge bed of aloe and plow into a HUGE bouganvilla. The homeowner saw the whole thing and came running out to help me..he had to pull me out of the bush...and then turn off the scooter..and ck helped him pull it out.
It honestly was one of the most humiliating moments of my life..yet the funniest..we all just stood there laughing...the guy was cool as hell..the accident could have been so much worse. He just took $100 to replace the mirror I broke and said the next time I am in town to come hang and bring some beer. The scooter itself was undamaged(thank God).
so, my injuries...the entire left side of my body is scratched all to hell from the thorns...my elbow and knee are swollen and black...I think i broke my left pointer..it is swollen and black...a couple burns from the muffler...and huge bruise on my leg..and took some skin and nail off my toe..it hurts like crazy, but I am thanking God it is not worse. I just wish we had had a camera..we could be hundred thousand-aires....
