Very Cool

I pulled into a gas station here in Conocoto today and couldn't believe my eyes, an Ecuadorian Mod! I talked to the owner for awhile and he told me that the Mod movement was just getting started in Ecuador, he was well versed in the Mod culture and the Ace Cafe. He also said that he had several friends that were rebuilding scooters, hopefully, I can hook up with these guys and get some good photos. I have seen a couple of vintage Vespa rebuild shops in Quito, I should get back up there and check them out. Very cool!

That's a cool stroke of luck.

Love the bum-stop seat!
