The next thing I received was an email saying the belt was on the house and he'd be happy for the company to support me in my adventure! What amazing kindness and generosity.
Last week I was in a predicament where I needed to get a new belt ahead of me down the road but didn't know quite where to send it. I was going to head into Fort Kent Maine and pick one up there but instead decided the $50 ferry for the St. Lawrence crossing was too much. There's a bridge in Quebec City so that's where I was heading. I googled scooter shop Quebec City and scootertuning.ca came up. Maxime answered my call and had a Polini belt in stock. Perfect. The next thing I received was an email saying the belt was on the house and he'd be happy for the company to support me in my adventure! What amazing kindness and generosity. The shop was busy expanding into an adjacent room but they had the most amazing selection of scooter belts variators , clutches & accessories I've ever seen. Maxine explain to me that in Canada you can get your scooter license at age 14 instead of 16 like in the United States. That means there's a lot of scooters rolling around a lot of people with paper route money to spend on parts... Just kidding. Before leaving they sent me off with some stickers keychains and even a tshirt! That will come in handy because I only have one t-shirt. (Thanks Friends of the Locust Fork)

Wow! I'm impressed that the Friend of the Locust Fork River tee made this 2nd leg. I bet you'll need a new one by the time you get back! I'll look for a pic if it ever warms up enough to go without your blazing new jacket. Enjoy!
