She is a 2006 TnG Venice, a 49cc. I bought her new from Scooter Ria in New Orleans not too long after Katrina. It was simple economics at the time as I was spending $40-60 a week in fuel and parking in the CBD of N. O. Needless to say my expenses went to $3 a week from the day I started riding her.
At this point she has over 6700 miles on her. I drive her daily shopping for my cafe and delivering food all night long. I drive this machine hard.
Not too long ago it was stolen from me and after a week of insanity I managed too get her back.
Long story short, two different crackheads tried to sell it back to me and I managed too convince the second guy to actually bring it to me, where we stalled him for over 20 minutes until NOPD finally arrived. Mind you we were one block from the police station where I went while said crackhead waited for me to return ( he thought I was going home to retrieve my key) She had about $500 worth of damage and thats not counting the hookups from the Scooter Ria guys.
They were great!
Back on the road with a new paint job, think flat black with flames. Before I hit the road though she will get a new coat of paint. I'm going red, white and blue ala Easy Rider.
I am setting up a flickr account as I will be photographing the journey for all to see.
Planned date of departure is Mon. June 8th around 7am.

Here's the Plan
For several reasons I have decided to spend the summer in Ft' Lauderdale Fla. After exploring all my options of getting down there with my scooter, I have chosen the option of driving my Scooter from New Orleans to Ft. Lauderdale.
The journey should take me 4 days to complete. My route will take me along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico then I will cut across the state and cruise down the Atlantic coast for the rest of the way.
My scooter is a 2006 49cc TnG Venice. I have had her since new and drive the piss out of her daily! She runs like a champ and after 6600 miles just keeps running better and better.
Thats all for today but will be back with more details as things progress.
