Mondays are normally on the quiet side and we have a skeleton staff only; my wife Lisa. I knew it was going to be a busy week but I had no idea how crazy it would get. I called Lisa around 11am and she sounded somewhat stressed out. Apparently a 53' tractor/trailor had just pulled into the parking lot to deliver five new scooters! Taking delivery of a thousand pounds of machinery packed in crates is no small task and poor Lisa had to handle it all on her own. She passed the test with flying colors; well done Lisa!! What is more important though is that four of these new machines were the Madass 125's which we have been waiting for for almost a year. Come get 'em while they're HOT!
Tuesday was no better. We took our first delivery of SYM scooters, ten in all, and by now the cardboard packing crates were starting to stack up. We still haven't finished bolting all of the SYM scooters together yet.
Wednesday I was supposed to drive to Newhaven to pick up a Madass 50cc scooter which is to be shipped to Bermuda but my car broke down on I-95 so I never made it. Once fixed I did the trip on Thursday (23rd) but also had to pick up a Vespa 250 GTS in Larchmont, so I needed to take the trailer. Mission accomplished but it took 6 hours in brutal traffic. While I was doing that yet another shipment of five scooters arrived from Vespa, including two huge MP3's. Charles had to handle this on his own and to date I have no idea how he managed to get the MP3's out of the crates.
So, twenty new scooters in four days. Thank heavens they are selling like hot cakes and we should have some space back soon.
