ROBBIE: Jersey, check this rabbit out!
JERSEY JON: Oh, that's cool.
ROBBIE: What's up with that? I went to the gas station
to fill up this morning. JERSEY JON: Yeah?
ROBBIE: The guy had the most majestic mullet I've never seen.
(laughs) ROBBIE: And then there's another guy coming out
of the gas station with a mullet.
JERSEY JON: So it's all business in the front...
JERSEY JON: Party in the back.
ROBBIE: Oh yeah, heck yeah. I mean, this is Portland.
Mullets are coming back!
JERSEY JON: That's what I was gonna say,
mullets are coming back, I think up here, you know?
JERSEY JON: And I think they're fancier now,
they're called "mullés".
ROBBIE: A-a mullé, what the hell is that?
JERSEY JON: It's like a French mullet.
It's like "au jus", it's like a-a mullé.
ROBBIE: What do you call yours? JERSEY JON: I don't know, it's like... crazy hair,
I guess, you know, it's like... Grow it out. (laughs)
(phone ringing)
MIKE: Dani D, what's up?
DANIELLE: Well good morning, how're you doing?
MIKE: I'm doing good, man, just driving on a 2-lane road,
the smell of cedar, I can see a lake off in the distance.
DANIELLE: Wow, you sound really chipper.
(laughs)
DANIELLE: Okay, so I've been going back and forth with
this chick named Cara. Cara is Victor's wife.
Now Victor opened up a scooter shop called Big People Scooters.
MIKE: I know Big People Scooters! That was one
of the biggest scooter shops on the West Coast.
I mean, this guy's like... scooter royalty, dude.
DANIELLE: Yeah. Well, I'm sending you to his...
royal castle today, into his home.
She's going to be meeting you right out front,
and she's gonna lead you around to the back.
MIKE: Send me the coordinates.
DANIELLE: Yeah, will do, will do.
Keep me posted, I'll talk to you soon.
MIKE: Bye. DANIELLE: Bye.
(honks horn)
CARA: Oh hey, how's it going?
MIKE: You Cara?
CARA: I am. What can I do for you?
MIKE: Hi, I'm Mike. CARA: Hi Mike.
MIKE: You talked to Dani on the phone?
CARA: Yeah, nice to meet you. MIKE: Nice to meet you.
What's going on? CARA: Not much.
MIKE: Here you go. Look at the top thing,
the number one thing.
CARA: And we have most... MIKE: Vespa, Lambretta,
motor scooters.
CARA: Got 'em, got 'em, got 'em.
MIKE: I'm from Iowa, and I was a fan
of Big People Scooters.
(laughs) CARA: I'm sorry.
MIKE: Seriously, I never walked in the door...
CARA: Right. MIKE: You pull the shop up
on the internet and all the models he had listed, and...
CARA: I think he's down in the bone yard.
MIKE: Oh, you guys got a bone yard?
Like a, like a Vespa junkyard? CARA: Yep.
MIKE: Anybody that was paying attention to the Vespa market,
whether you were a dealer or just an enthusiast,
knew who Victor Vespa was.
He had one of the biggest vintage scooter shops
on the West Coast.
MIKE: As far as I'm concerned, Victor Vespa
is like the Godfather of Vespa.
The guy's a pioneer, he's a legend.
CARA: Hey, Victor. VICTOR: Hey.
MIKE: Hey, buddy. Hey, I'm Mike.
VICTOR: Hi, nice to meet you. MIKE: Nice to meet you.
So she's got a flyer, she talked to Dani on the phone.
Do you know... VICTOR: Ohh...
MIKE: You know about all this stuff, obviously,
because you're moving some scoots around.
VICTOR: Yeah, I remember that. MIKE: Look at that,
look at the first thing, Vespa.
VICTOR: Don't have any (indistinct), sorry.
MIKE: Yeah. (group laughing)
VICTOR: I collect because
my father was a collector.
And my father ran an antique store when I was younger,
and it gave me something to do when I was traveling with him.
VICTOR: I started going to Italy back in the '80s.
MIKE: Did you really? VICTOR: I closed and sold
my Vespa store, you know, seven years ago now
or something, and I still love and collect Vespas.
MIKE: How many bodies are buried back here?
VICTOR: Oh God, there really, honestly, there must be
60 or 70, maybe more, I-I don't know, this is...
MIKE: Wow... VICTOR: ...kind of a graveyard,
but anything from old LD Lambrettas all the way up
through GSs and up to the newer P-series ones.
MIKE: No kidding, there's GS bodies in here.
So who stripped all these? VICTOR: Back when we were
in business in the '80s and '90s,
you couldn't order parts.
The only way to do it was to take apart a bike.
MIKE: So there were certain scooters that you had
to sacrifice to put 10 more on the road.
VICTOR: Correct. One scooter would make 10 or 12.
And then what do you do with the body? Well, I can't scrap it.
MIKE: Yeah, you can't get rid of the body.
VICTOR: I was a Vespa franchise dealer.
I was one of the first, I think I was dealer number six
when they came back in 2000.
VICTOR: And I did that 'til 2017 and it finally just became
too much for me. I had a stroke, and...
it was time to close down and think of other things, so...
MIKE: So is there still a Vespa dealer in Seattle?
VICTOR: No, actually, no. MIKE: No okay, wow.
VICTOR: When I tell people what I did for a living,
I told them that I was a motor scooter mechanic.
That ended up being the true passion in my life.
MIKE: Here's a GS 150. (Cara laughs)
VICTOR: Yeah? MIKE: Damn!
CARA: Yeah. MIKE: If somebody bought them all,
how much would they be apiece?
VICTOR: You know, if you took them all,
and you did something good with them? 75 bucks a piece.
MIKE: Dang!
VICTOR: Hey, you know that's good.
MIKE: You're like making... ah!
VICTOR: They're not all scrap, but...
MIKE: I know that, dang, I know, man.
VICTOR: Yeah.
JERSEY JON: Right up here, buddy.
ROBBIE: Right here? JERSEY JON: Drive right here.
ROBBIE: Oh, look at the size of that garage, dude.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, it goes back. ROBBIE: Get a flyer, Jersey.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, yeah, yeah. ROBBIE: Get the flyer.
JERSEY JON: I got you, bro.
(honks horn)
JERSEY JON: Hello! Hello, hello, hello!
SANDEI: Hello. ROBBIE: Are you Sandei?
SANDEI: I'm Sandei. JERSEY JON: Sandei, hi, I'm Jon.
SANDEI: Hi, Jon. JERSEY JON: Hi.
ROBBIE: I'm Rob. Nice to meet you.
You talked to Dani on the phone?
SANDEI: I did. JERSEY JON: This is stuff we're looking for.
ROBBIE: She said you got 10 of everything here?
JERSEY JON: Anything like that? SANDEI: I do.
SANDEI: Don and I met when he walked into my office
one day, and I took one look at him and I said,
I love that man.
SANDEI: We drove clear across country antiquing.
We went up to Canada antiquing.
It was his life.
SANDEI: Okay.
I don't want to freak you out.
JERSEY JON: Whoa, whoa! ROBBIE: Holy cow.
This place is... JERSEY JON: Whoa you guys are not fooling around.
SANDEI: This is only part. JERSEY JON: Man, this
is stacked to the ceiling.
ROBBIE: How long did it take him to fill this place up
like this? I mean, how long were you and Don together?
SANDEI: 47 years.
Robbie & JERSEY JON: 47 years!
SANDEI: Don passed away almost a year ago.
It was too hard to hang onto this house,
so I'm looking to sell everything.
JERSEY JON: This little First National Bank thing
is neat, it's a little dime bank.
I was actually living in an old bank building.
SANDEI: Really? JERSEY JON: Yeah.
JERSEY JON: I bought it when I was 17 years old,
an old bank building on the Jersey shore.
SANDEI: Oh, what a dream. JERSEY JON: We have little
dime banks like this from my bank.
This one's from Eugene, Oregon, but the same idea.
This is probably around 1915 or 1920.
SANDEI: Wow. JERSEY JON: I'm interested in this.
SANDEI: Okay. JERSEY JON: Um...
SANDEI: Make me offer. JERSEY JON: Like 20 bucks.
SANDEI: You know what, I-I... 20 bucks is good.
JERSEY JON: Yeah? Okay. SANDEI: Yeah.
JERSEY JON: I'll take it for 20 bucks, thank you so much.
JERSEY JON: Obviously, there's a lot of stuff here,
there's no organization at all. It's just
like thrown in there, it's like big stuff on top
of little stuff, little stuff on top of big stuff,
and it's piles and piles and piles, all over the place.
ROBBIE: Hey, if I end up going in this hole, okay,
and I don't come back out...
JERSEY JON: Let me tie a string onto you, so I don't lose you.
Do you have a piece of rope around here?
ROBBIE: Yeah. SANDEI: No, we want a notarized will.
(laughs) ROBBIE: A notarized will.
JERSEY JON: If he doesn't come out, Robbie,
I get your cars. SANDEI: Yeah.
ROBBIE: This table right here... Alright, I'm going up.
I'm going up. (grunts)
ROBBIE: Right here, I got it, I'm up, okay?
ROBBIE: You know, I get on top of the pile, I got one foot
on top of a chair leg, the other foot is like,
I'm like balancing on top of a milk crate.
SANDEI: Wow, you're way up there.
ROBBIE: Well, you could see things from up here
that you can't normally see down there.
SANDEI: I know. ROBBIE: That's... that's kind of interesting.
I'm trying to figure out... SANDEI: Don probably climbed up
there and just looked around at his prizes.
ROBBIE: Yeah?
Sandei, I found a mason jar full of marbles.
I can't tell, some of them might be clay in here.
There's a bunch of them in here.
$30.
SANDEI: Those for 30, yes.
ROBBIE: You know, this is one of those picks
that you gotta get on top of it.
You want to see from the top looking down in.
ROBBIE: I see some... SANDEI: And you know,
he put that all up there by himself.
ROBBIE: Ugh! Wow... JERSEY JON: I'll tell you what,
I see something I love right now. This filing cabinet.
SANDEI: I know! JERSEY JON: I love this thing.
This is so cool. Robbie, look at this thing.
ROBBIE: Oh, I love the top. JERSEY JON: It's Globe-Wernicke.
ROBBIE: Yeah? JERSEY JON: It's all quarter-sawn oak,
you see all the quarter sawn in here? See the brass fittings.
SANDEI: Nobody could refinish furniture like Don.
And he would bring me the most beautiful oak pieces.
JERSEY JON: Retail on something like this, like years ago,
oak furniture was a lot more popular, as you know.
SANDEI: In the '80s. JERSEY JON: In the '80s it was great.
A ton of money on oak furniture.
SANDEI: Country Living Magazine. JERSEY JON: But this is a little different,
it's office furniture, it's kind of cool, it's still relevant.
JERSEY JON: Globe-Wernicke was a company that made
office furniture from about 1880 to about 1950 or so,
but their early stuff is really cool
because it's quarter-sawn oak and it's modular.
So like you could stack different pieces up on it,
and you can make a tall cabinet, low cabinet.
And this is a really nice, high-quality piece.
JERSEY JON: This is sitting on a table,
so you could see it's not really a huge piece.
So it's gonna fit in a lot of places.
SANDEI: Yeah. JERSEY JON: Retail on this
is probably like 275, 300 bucks.
Okay. I'd be in it for like $150.
SANDEI: I think 175, you got a deal.
JERSEY JON: I will do 175, that's more than fair.
SANDEI: Alright. JERSEY JON: Thank you, sweetheart, okay.
SANDEI: Thank you. JERSEY JON: Very cool.
MIKE: There's a Mark 1 right there.
VICTOR: Yep. MIKE: And it has the round tail on it, man.
VICTOR: Yeah, that's the very first one,
those are the rare ones. MIKE: Oh my gosh, look at that.
VICTOR: And it's got a couple of extra holes on it
so it either had a cool license plate...
MIKE: I saw the extra hole in the floor board here
to run some cable. VICTOR: Oh yeah,
that's the little stick up farm-styled.
MIKE: Oh yeah. VICTOR: Things happen every once in a while.
MIKE: And this thing's pretty solid, man.
VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: I'm freaking, because I'm in the woods,
and I'm talking to Victor Vespa.
MIKE: Do you have, like, all the parts and pieces
for most of these, or no?
VICTOR: Yeah, actually, I probably do have the forks
and probably have the motor for that.
MIKE: I've always heard about this guy.
And now I'm sitting in his bone yard,
swapping Vespa stories, man.
This is like, scooter folklore...
except it's real.
VICTOR: For a long time, these were all sitting
in pallets up in the warehouse.
MIKE: Yeah. VICTOR: Now they are what they are.
MIKE: Now, now they're an art installation.
(laughs) VICTOR: Well, you know,
VICTOR: I thought someone might...
I just can't get rid of them...
MIKE: No way! VICTOR: ...'cause they're worth more money than scrap.
VICTOR: Someone's going to want them.
VICTOR: One of the things that makes Vespas what they are,
is that they're made of steel.
That's why you can find a Vespa from the 1940s
and it's still alive and running,
and you can't find a Honda Elite from 1980
that's in that same... it just doesn't happen.
CARA: Mike, I have literally had dreams about
being crushed by Victor's stuff.
(laughs) CARA: I'm not even kidding.
MIKE: Like a Vespa falling on ya?
CARA: Just stuff, like yes... VICTOR: And other stuff!
CARA: ...piles of stuff... VICTOR: Just not Vespas.
MIKE: Yeah. Don't you sometimes,
when you have this much stuff, like for me,
sometimes I feel like I'm in the moving business.
VICTOR: Yeah, but sometimes you feel like you're under a weight.
VICTOR: A month ago, I... was attacked
by a swarm of hornets. Put me into the ICU.
My wife had to bring me back to life.
CARA: When this happened, the whole thing happened
with the hornets and he was dead, I mean,
I literally punched him in the chest and revived him.
VICTOR: I don't want to leave this pile that crushes,
feels like it's crushing me,
I don't want this to be a problem for my wife.
VICTOR: But yeah, you just, this could be cut off.
Just throw this away, this isn't a scooter anymore...
VICTOR: But the front of it could be something
you hang on the wall, or...
the back could be a seat, an interesting seat
if you put a frame on it. Um...
MIKE: Yeah, no, I love the way your mind works.
I'm just think- VICTOR: Cutting them in half and hanging them on the wall...
MIKE: I mean, to ship 60 of these things.
MIKE: Victor and I have a lot in common,
and one of those things is the idea of too much stuff.
You know, it's like all of these things come into
our lives, we want to rescue them, we want to covet them.
And then all of a sudden, you just can't breathe,
it's like coming down around you, you know.
If he would have asked me 10 years ago,
to buy the pile for $75 apiece,
I would have been on it, so fast.
But now, I'm thinking about, okay, shipping all of these,
storing all of them, finding the right home
for each one of these bodies.
MIKE: Okay, let me ask you this:
Do you have anything that's a little bit more complete?
VICTOR: More? CARA: Oh yeah.
MIKE: Like complete, like do you have a complete scooter?
VICTOR: Yeah, I have a few.
I wouldn't mind showing you around.
MIKE: Yeah, let me look at some scoots that are more complete.
VICTOR: Okay. MIKE: And kind of give this
a little bit more thought. VICTOR: Alright.
ROBBIE: Hey, I got to ask,
Harlem Globetrotters. I'm a big fan.
I mean, I love it-- JERSEY JON: Oh, that's cool, Robbie.
ROBBIE: It's actually got the players on it.
Can you imagine that all framed up?
JERSEY JON: I didn't even see that up there. ROBBIE: It's cool.
ROBBIE: The Harlem Globetrotters have been around
since the late '20s. And the showmanship that they
were known for, the fast break,
the slam dunk, the figure eight,
is part of the game that we watch today.
ROBBIE: 20 bucks.
SANDEI: I have to sell it for 20.
ROBBIE: You have to? SANDEI: Yeah.
SANDEI: Yeah. Yeah. ROBBIE: Alright, I appreciate ya.
Thank you. I love the piece, I'm going to have it framed up.
SANDEI: Now don't expect that every time, though.
ROBBIE: No? (laughs)
ROBBIE: Jersey, what are you finding?
JERSEY JON: All kinds of stuff in here.
SANDEI: Don retired when he was 50 years old,
after putting 31 years into the military.
After that, it was antiques.
JERSEY JON: Wow... you and Don were going to garage sales
when it was like, there was stuff out there
that you could find really great stuff at garage sales,
old house garage sales, like people who were getting rid
of their really cool stuff.
That's not so easy to do anymore.
SANDEI: I know, I know. ROBBIE: People are holding onto stuff longer.
JERSEY JON: He was doing garage sales when garage sales
were really hot, before the internet was out.
I'm talking about in the '60s, the '70s, the '80s,
when stuff was like raw.
You know, nowadays, a lot of the items that are good,
they don't even hit the garage sales.
It was bought before the internet transformed
the retail environment for antiques.
JERSEY JON: Damn... ROBBIE: Whoa.
JERSEY JON: Sandei, I got these soldiers here.
These are like composite ones. They're still cool,
they're not broken up too badly, they're World War I.
I'm thinking like 20 bucks, 5 bucks apiece.
SANDEI: 30. JERSEY JON: I'll go to 25.
SANDEI: 26. JERSEY JON: 26 I'll do, thank you.
SANDEI: Okay. JERSEY JON: Oh Robbie, Robbie.
Double dot Pepsi. ROBBIE: That's a double dot Pepsi.
SANDEI: What are you thinking? ROBBIE: Doesn't have any of the bottles.
30 bucks.
SANDEI: Yes. ROBBIE: Alright.
SANDEI: If we find the bottles, the price is going way up.
(laughs)
JERSEY JON: Man, that's really nice artwork.
SANDEI: Jersey Mike has a one-track mind,
I'm just saying... JERSEY JON: No, Jon. Jon.
SANDEI: Jersey Jon, I'm just saying.
JERSEY JON: I love the graphics on it. It's a really cool piece.
It's got to be reframed. You know, like 10 bucks.
SANDEI: 15. JERSEY JON: 12.
SANDEI: 12.50. JERSEY JON: Alright, 12.50.
Robbie, shake her hand. SANDEI: Okay.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: It's not the big-ticket item. It's the smalls
that are going to make the money here today.
There's hundreds of thousands of them
in every one of these drawers,
on the shelves, in the boxes.
ROBBIE: I'm thinking $20. SANDEI: Oh, I was thinking 30.
How about 25? ROBBIE: How about 22?
SANDEI: Okay. JERSEY JON: 22.50?
(laughs) ROBBIE: No, no, I don't want the 50, 22.
ROBBIE: Alright, thank you. SANDEI: Oh you guys are good.
VICTOR: Hey, you got to see this. So this is a...
MIKE: Okay. VICTOR: ...this is a TI 500.
You ever seen one of these? MIKE: Yeah, no.
VICTOR: It holds nine people.
MIKE: Okay, what was it, a taxi?
VICTOR: They were Italian taxis
was what they were mostly--
MIKE: Is that the engine back there?
VICTOR: That's the engine for it.
MIKE: Okay. What's the value of it?
I mean, school me, school me.
VICTOR: Well, I could tell you what, restored...
MIKE: Okay, restored. VICTOR: 50 grand.
MIKE: Really? VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: I can understand why you have it.
VICTOR: Right. MIKE: I mean, its European,
it's Italian. VICTOR: Right, it goes along.
MIKE: It's interesting, it's different.
VICTOR: It's small, it's 500ccs. MIKE: Yeah.
MIKE: What about the clock, what's going on with that?
VICTOR: It's a Pepsi clock. MIKE: What color's the neon?
VICTOR: I believe it's pink when it lights up.
VICTOR: I love that clock, I love neon clocks.
They're kind of a rare thing to find.
That one just had a really great color.
MIKE: If this was rocking and rolling the way
it is right now, I'd think it's...
15, $1,600 clock...
VICTOR: Right. MIKE: ...is what I think.
VICTOR: A grand? MIKE: Uh...
CARA: It does work, I promise.
MIKE: Yeah, it just needs to be rewired.
VICTOR: It just needs a plug, it doesn't even need to be rewired.
MIKE: The neon all works?
CARA: Yes. VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: It doesn't hum and make weird noises.
VICTOR: It's got a little buzz to it, but not bad.
MIKE: Little bit of a buzz to it?
VICTOR: I really do have a thing for clocks, wow crazy.
VICTOR: When I had my shop
in Seattle, I put in this clock on the wall
that was 10 feet across.
I've talked to so many people that were like,
I love it that you have a clock in there,
'cause when I'm going to work, I can see if
I'm gonna make it in time. (laughs)
VICTOR: You can always put a solid-state transformer in it
and they won't buzz. I went to neon school...
in all of the things that I've done in my life.
MIKE: 900.
VICTOR: Ah Jesus Christ...
CARA: It's up to you, it's your clock.
VICTOR: Yeah, I'll do nine for it.
MIKE: You want to do nine? VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: Alright, I'm doing it.
ROBBIE: Jersey. JERSEY JON: What do you got?
ROBBIE: I don't know, I'm just like on top
of the world over here. JERSEY JON: Ooh...
Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff in here.
Wait a second... ROBBIE: Why am I stuck up here
and you're down there, Jersey? What's up?
JERSEY JON: Because I'm working the low road, dude,
you're working the high road, what do I got to tell ya.
ROBBIE: I'm coming out of the high road,
I'll tell you that. JERSEY JON: Ooh I found something, this is cool.
Agh! Sandei, ooh...
SANDEI: I haven't heard that much moaning
since my sister had her baby.
(laughs)
JERSEY JON: This is great. It's the top of a toilet tank
for a high flush toilet. It's oak.
SANDEI: Oh yeah. JERSEY JON: Yeah, it's cool.
It's in nice condition too.
JERSEY JON: It's for a high flush toilet.
The water tank is high above the toilet bowl.
They stopped using these things probably around 1910, 1915.
JERSEY JON: Looks like it would hold water, which is...
super important. You don't want water leaking
all over your floor. Got the pull chain. 75 bucks.
SANDEI: Okay, I can't even argue with that, yeah.
JERSEY JON: Okay, cool. Alright, we're at the good flushing deal.
SANDEI: But the next one.
JERSEY JON: Okay, you'll get the next one.
SANDEI: The next one. JERSEY JON: Alright, alright,
we're working our way up the path here.
SANDEI: Don and Jersey liked the same things.
They get excited about the same things.
It was almost bizarre,
that they were so much alike.
JERSEY JON: Exhaust whistles, two of them.
SANDEI: Jersey. JERSEY JON: Yeah?
SANDEI: How much? JERSEY JON: Uh...
Well, they're car whistles, not motorcycle,
but they're still cool. They're probably
Trinity whistles, uh well no, one's Ermoyer.
JERSEY JON: The exhaust would blow through the whistle,
it would sound like a locomotive.
So it was just a neat piece you had for your car.
You know, 1910 to probably 1925, that time period.
JERSEY JON: I'd do 40 bucks apiece.
(blows into whistle)
SANDEI: Okay, that right there should put it 50.
(Jersey Jon laughs) JERSEY JON: You want 50 bucks apiece?
SANDEI: Yep.
JERSEY JON: I'll take your 50 bucks apiece.
SANDEI: Alright.
SANDEI: I remember him bringing them into the garage,
and I remember that noise.
(blows into whistle)
SANDEI: Oh, your wife is going to hate you.
JERSEY JON: I don't have a wife.
SANDEI: Oh, good. (Jersey Jon laughs)
SANDEI: Your neighbors are going to hate you.
JERSEY JON: My neighbors already hate me.
SANDEI: Robbie? ROBBIE: Yeah.
SANDEI: You break it, you buy it.
ROBBIE: Alright...
SANDEI: Just saying.
JERSEY JON: Sandei's hilarious, she's having a lot
of fun with us, we're having a lot of fun with her.
We're joking around, we're getting back and forth. She's a blast.
SANDEI: How old are you, Jersey Mike?
JERSEY JON: Heh, I'm Jon.
SANDEI: I mean, Jer... why do I keep doing that?
To me, you're Mike. Are you in the market?
(laughs)
JERSEY JON: Well, sure...
(laughing)
JERSEY JON: You got all this cool stuff in here, I'm looking for a sugar mama.
SANDEI: Yeah, well... hello, here it is.
(laughs) JERSEY JON: Yeah, I see it.
SANDEI: Here she is. JERSEY JON: Yep.
ROBBIE: There's something going on here. Jersey's got
a connection with Sandei.
I don't know what it is, but...
(blows into whistle)
(laughs)
SANDEI: Yeah, we know you bought it.
JERSEY JON: Yep.
MIKE: Oh you still got the Vespa sign.
VICTOR: Yeah, that came off my store.
Actually, there's two of them.
MIKE: Alright. VICTOR: So here's...
MIKE: This is the wood shop. VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: Who's the woodworker?
VICTOR: That was me and my father, so...
MIKE: Okay. VICTOR: Yep. This is...
MIKE: It's a great shop. God-dang, you guys got
a lot of stuff, huh? VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: What year is the Ariel?
VICTOR: You know, Mike, I think that was like a '58.
They made those to compete with the scooters,
so the, a lady could drive into work,
or a guy could drive them...
MIKE: So did you get this Ariel running?
VICTOR: No, the Ariel came in five-gallon buckets.
MIKE: Okay. VICTOR: And it was completely taken apart.
It was quite interesting to put back together.
MIKE: So who was your mentor that taught you
how to work on scooters?
VICTOR: There was a guy in Seattle named Howard.
And he was the original Vespa dealer that survived
all through the '60s and '70s.
You couldn't buy a new Vespa anymore.
MIKE: Yeah, of course. VICTOR: But he still had his parts,
and he'd still help his people out.
MIKE: It's wild to hear from someone that I considered
one of my mentors, you know,
talking about theirs.
I mean, I've never met Victor,
but I've heard so much about his story over the years.
I mean, think about it, going to Europe
when you're 16 years old with your father.
It's just mind-boggling to me, because you're growing up
looking at things in a different way, you know,
from a different perspective. Not so much from an antiquity
value, more of an esthetic.
So to see some of this stuff in his barn,
looking at posters on the walls and just little mementos
from his life and all the places that he's been.
VICTOR: My father owned a 4-storey building
in downtown Seattle where every floor
was a different type of antique,
and was kind of like a commune.
MIKE: He probably loved that you are doing this.
VICTOR: Yeah, yeah, he started me,
he very much helped me.
MIKE: Yeah, he's like here kid, here's some inventory.
VICTOR: Yeah, yeah. MIKE: Yeah.
(laughs) I love it.
VICTOR: Yep.
VICTOR: Yeah, in a way, I still was an antique dealer.
I was just dealing in antique Vespas
instead of antique toys or antique furniture,
you know, and this top of this railing right here,
is the gymnasium floor from a private school
in Singapore.
MIKE: What the hell is that? VICTOR: That's Vespa poster.
MIKE: This is? VICTOR: Yeah. You want
psychedelic, that's the poster. MIKE: Really?
That's a Vespa poster.
(laughing) What the hell...
Fish on 4 wheels. VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: And this guy, look, he's got some wheat in his mouth.
VICTOR: Mostly the posters that I always liked,
the ones that I really like were because they had great graphics.
MIKE: Yeah, yeah, no, I hear ya.
MIKE: These are the things that he's kept.
Imagine how much stuff has gone through his hands.
These are the things that...
he's brought close to him.
VICTOR: Pearl Jam. MIKE: This is Pearl Jam?
VICTOR: Yeah. MIKE: What year?
VICTOR: You're probably not going to...
My wife will shoot me if I sell you that.
MIKE: Oh my God...
VICTOR: Oh, that's from an art show he did in Seattle,
a long time ago.
MIKE: There's a huge picture of Von Dutch,
another one of Ed Roth.
You know, Von Dutch passed away in '92,
Ed Roth passed away in 2001.
Ed Roth was still alive at this show.
This is in the '90s.
You know, imagine being able to go to a show
and meet someone that changed your life.
MIKE: I mean, these guys are icons, they're legends.
And it was something that was collected by Victor Vespa.
You know, which rolls it all into one for me.
VICTOR: Give me a low-ball on it.
MIKE: I mean, it would have to be a low-ball.
I mean, Von Dutch wasn't there, he died two years before.
VICTOR: Yeah. MIKE: I mean, when Roth...
You were here, so Roth was there.
VICTOR: Yes. MIKE: Okay.
VICTOR: Yeah, I had Ed Roth sign a model kit.
MIKE: 50 bucks.
VICTOR: How about 40?
MIKE: Alright, I like, I like that better.
It's worthy, man.
It's worthy of framing, for sure.
SANDEI: You see all of this? ROBBIE: Yeah.
SANDEI: Don started this in 1975.
ROBBIE: So he filled up a first building,
and then built this second one?
SANDEI: And the third.
SANDEI: When Don moved into this house,
of course he started filling it up right away.
SANDEI: So he asked me one day after I bought my house,
"Could I just use a little bit of your garage?"
ROBBIE: A small section, want to put a box in it, right?
JERSEY JON: And you being the good girlfriend, you're like...
ROBBIE: Yeah. SANDEI: Absolutely.
SANDEI: That was the last time I ever saw
the back of my garage.
(laughs) ROBBIE: Yeah.
I like the back entrance here.
JERSEY JON: Oh nice. SANDEI: And here we go.
ROBBIE: Holy cow, what are you talking about?
JERSEY JON: Hoo!
ROBBIE: Don is one of those guys
that I can relate to.
He gets the garage, he fills it up to the top.
What's he do? He builds another garage.
He starts dating a girl. She's got an empty garage.
ROBBIE: Now here's some cool chairs back here, dude.
JERSEY JON: This is nice. Cast iron.
SANDEI: Wow. ROBBIE: This one's got porcelain.
This is a soda fountain seat. JERSEY JON: Yeah, but this is taller.
ROBBIE: That could be a bar. You never find these
where they're all intact, you know. I love that
style right there. It's in good shape.
SANDEI: I got to say, you guys,
this is the best fun I've had since I bungee jumped.
(laughs) ROBBIE: Since you bungee jumped?
SANDEI: Yeah. JERSEY JON: You went bungee jumping?
SANDEI: Twice. JERSEY JON: I tell you what,
I gotta hand it to you, that's pretty good,
I don't think I'd be bungee jumping.
SANDEI: Are we getting closer to marriage?
(group laughing)
JERSEY JON: I like your style. That's cool, though.
ROBBIE: $80 for the pair.
SANDEI: Only because I like you.
(Jersey Jon laughs)
SANDEI: Alright. ROBBIE: Let me see what else you got in there.
VICTOR: You know, when you retire,
and you're a Vespa guy,
you end up with some stuff leftover.
MIKE: Yeah, yeah, yeah. VICTOR: Sometimes it has to--
MIKE: Ooh, what's going on with that? What's that?
VICTOR: That is a very rare Aprilia race bike.
MIKE: Yeah? VICTOR: This got stolen when I got broken into.
CARA: We got a phone call from the police at like
3 o'clock in the morning. "This is Police Officer
Blah-blah-blah from Kent." MIKE: Uh-huh.
CARA: "Just found some kid on your stolen motorcycle."
MIKE: What's the value of it? VICTOR: 10 grand?
MIKE: Here's a, okay, so what do you got going here? You got a Lambretta.
VICTOR: This is an electric start Lambretta.
MIKE: What the hell, really. VICTOR: It's like '57 or 8.
MIKE: There's always been a vintage scooter scene
in the United States.
But when Vespa left in '81,
there was that hole all of a sudden in the US market
for new scooters, for like people that wanted
to buy a new scooter, they couldn't buy anything European.
Shops like Scooterworks in Chicago,
Big People Scooters in Seattle,
they were doing vintage Vespa,
they were restoring them.
Those are the shops that kept that flame alive.
VICTOR: When I became a Vespa dealer with new Vespas,
I just got too busy selling new Vespas.
MIKE: So Vespa pulled out in what, like '83,
pulled out of the market. VICTOR: Yeah, '83, '84 they left the United States.
MIKE: Then they came back in 2000.
VICTOR: Yep, 2000, 2001. MIKE: I was dealing with
a Vespa dealer in Chicago.
VICTOR: Okay. MIKE: And they were turning
me onto all their trades.
MIKE: They didn't want old Vespas.
MIKE: You know, because they were all "boutiques".
VICTOR: Right.
MIKE: When Vespa came back to the US in 2001,
with the internet and you know,
Vespa being romanticized in advertising again,
it literally threw gas on that flame.
MIKE: Because everybody that walked in there
or reminisced about Vespa,
all of a sudden wanted a vintage scooter.
I was probably selling 8 to 12 vintage Vespas a month,
out of Iowa. As fast as I would put them up online,
they were gone, they were gone.
MIKE: It was just such an exciting time.
And what even made it cooler, was riding some of this stuff,
you know, it's two-stroke, it's 125, 150, 200 cc,
two-stroke scooters.
MIKE: Oh, here's a Faro Basso,
a Lamp Down.
VICTOR: Yeah. MIKE: What year is that one?
The handlebar... VICTOR: That'd have to be about '54?
MIKE: Okay. Yeah. That's cool.
VICTOR: And I have the sidecar for that.
MIKE: Do you really? In the original paint?
This looks like original paint. VICTOR: Yes. Right.
VICTOR: He calls it a Faro Basso.
Basically, the Faro Basso translates to "low light".
And it's because the headlights on the front fender.
MIKE: So how long have you had this scooter?
The Lamp Down, the Faro Basso.
VICTOR: 25, 30 years. MIKE: No kidding.
VICTOR: Well I found that here.
MIKE: You found that in the US?
VICTOR: Yeah, yeah. MIKE: Really.
MIKE: You know, when you stand back, they're just works of art.
You know, I'm just imagining Gregory Peck
and Audrey Hepburn cruising around on a Vespa
just like this in that movie, Roman Holiday.
Right then, boom, it was part of American culture.
MIKE: What about the Faro Basso,
what are you thinking on something like this?
VICTOR: Uhh...
Well, you'd have to see the sidecar,
so you know-- MIKE: Is the sidecar
original paint as well? VICTOR: Yes.
MIKE: Okay, and did it come with this scooter?
VICTOR: No, I got them separately, but they would go together,
it's the proper vintage. MIKE: Did you ever have it bolted on here?
VICTOR: Nope. MIKE: Okay.
Do you have the seat with it?
VICTOR: We'd have to find a seat for it,
but they reproduce those. MIKE: Okay.
Where's the sidecar at?
VICTOR: Just right up in the loft.
MIKE: Can we look at that? VICTOR: Sure. Come on up.
MIKE: Alright.
MIKE: Now we're starting to crack the nut here.
I knew that he had to have this caliber
of Vespa scooters in here. There's just no way,
with his passion and his background,
that he wasn't going to.
ROBBIE: At any minute, I think there's going to be an avalanche...
You're the one who's going to cause it.
JERSEY JON: Probably. SANDEI: Whoa...
JERSEY JON: Yeah.
SANDEI: Joisey, are you okay?
(clanging)
ROBBIE: Dude, you're knocking stuff over here.
JERSEY JON: I don't know, I'm just looking at stuff, Robbie.
(laughs) JERSEY JON: What do you want me to tell you, buddy?
ROBBIE: Listen, don't pull the feather out
from underneath the bottom of the pile, okay?
ROBBIE: That's all I'm trying to tell ya.
JERSEY JON: Yeah.
Sandei, I got a railroad
lantern I want to buy from ya.
It's... it's got a nice lens on it,
and it's actually marked from a railroad,
CN&W Railroad.
So that's kind of cool.
And it's kind of got a red lens on it.
You see this thing? SANDEI: Yeah.
JERSEY JON: Pretty cool. Um... SANDEI: Yeah.
(sighs)
JERSEY JON: I'd go 50 bucks on it.
SANDEI: 52.
JERSEY JON: I'm not going to argue with $52.
I mean, that's pretty cool.
ROBBIE: Don had a great eye.
He wasn't just buying junk out there.
The guy was pulling the best stuff
out of the garage sales. And he was piling it up.
SANDEI: Is it a Toby?
ROBBIE: No. SANDEI: Oh okay.
ROBBIE: No it's not. It is marked,
it is British marked, though.
SANDEI: A Toby mug normally is a face of a sailor,
an older man. They come in different sizes.
They're fascinating to look at.
ROBBIE: It is British marked,
but it doesn't have those initials on it.
SANDEI: Does it have any cracks, scrapes, nicks?
ROBBIE: There are no, no there's no cracks in it.
SANDEI: Okay. ROBBIE: Got a good look to it. Nothing broke,
nothing glued back on. SANDEI: That just upped the price.
ROBBIE: What's the special price? Let's hear it today.
SANDEI: You tell me. ROBBIE: Nope, this is one of those ones.
You knew exactly what it was, so tell me what you need.
SANDEI: 2. ROBBIE: 2 what?
SANDEI: Hundred.
ROBBIE: $200 on this mug?
(Jersey Jon laughs) SANDEI: Okay, then you counter offer.
ROBBIE: I think the retail on this like $125.
SANDEI: 150.
ROBBIE: Well, I can't pay 150 if it's only 125, come on,
Sandei, work with me! SANDEI: Come on, you're rich.
ROBBIE: No, I'm not.
If I was rich, I wouldn't be picking.
ROBBIE: $65.
SANDEI: 75, and it's yours.
ROBBIE: Done. Done. SANDEI: Come on.
SANDEI: Yay. ROBBIE: Done.
VICTOR: Here's a sidecar.
MIKE: Whoa... VICTOR: So...
MIKE: Wait. Oh my gosh, yeah,
there you go.
And that's original paint?
VICTOR: Yep.
MIKE: Ooh, what's this?
VICTOR: This is a rod model. This is the...
basically the first Vespa that got mass-produced.
MIKE: Really. VICTOR: This is called a rod model
because it doesn't use cables.
MIKE: Yeah, no-- VICTOR: It uses a metal linkage
like an old American motorcycle. MIKE: Yeah, because the '47,
the 98, doesn't have the...
Under the-- What do you call it? VICTOR: The stand underneath.
MIKE: It doesn't have the stand, it just literally,
you lay a bike over on its side.
VICTOR: Correct. MIKE: Wow.
VICTOR: And a little bit different with the cowls,
the way the engines were cut.
MIKE: Vespa was a company that was really born
out of the devastation of World War II.
It helped jump-start Italy's economy,
and fill the desperate need for transportation.
So they started making scooters, and by 1947,
they're getting their legs underneath them.
By 1948, they were making like 10,000 scooters a year.
So this, is a 1948 original paint rod model Vespa.
It was never exported to the US.
These scooters are extremely rare in Italy.
It's unbelievable that this scooter is in the US,
and that it's in the condition that it's in.
VICTOR: But this also has original...
period-correct accessories on there.
MIKE: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. VICTOR: And then if you see the shock absorber down below,
I don't know if you remember how Vespas bounce.
MIKE: Oh yeah. VICTOR: So that's an original.
MIKE: And that's a dampener?
VICTOR: That's a dampener for it so it doesn't bounce.
MIKE: Oh my gosh... wow.
ROBBIE: I got this, Sandei, it's a monogram stamp.
Probably used in government agency
or could have been in a post office or something. 25 bucks.
SANDEI: 27. ROBBIE: $2 adds up
when you do it to every item, though.
SANDEI: I know, that's why I'm doing it.
ROBBIE: Alright. 27, I'm in on that.
SANDEI: Okay.
JERSEY JON: I found another toilet top tank.
This one's nicer. And... I found a toilet seat.
SANDEI: How much did you pay for the last one?
JERSEY JON: I forget, 75?
SANDEI: Okay, we better double that.
JERSEY JON: We ain't gonna double it, but tell you what.
JERSEY JON: For the seat and the tank,
I'd go 100-and-a-quarter.
SANDEI: 150.
JERSEY JON: 130.
SANDEI: Sold. JERSEY JON: Alright.
ROBBIE: McDonald's stuff in the last few years
is starting to go up in value.
SANDEI: 45.
ROBBIE: 35.
SANDEI: 40. ROBBIE: 37.
I'm doing your $2 thing.
SANDEI: 38. ROBBIE: Done.
These are, look like circus chalkware pieces.
$45 for the pair.
SANDEI: Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
ROBBIE: Alright. Thank you.
SANDEI: They gave me what it was worth.
And that made me feel really, really good.
JERSEY JON: I got a really killer oil can here. Ugh.
SANDEI: Ohh. JERSEY JON: See that?
It's a Mobiline Pennsylvania rocker can.
It actually got oil in it.
The oil is probably worth more than the can right now.
SANDEI: Well, that adds to the price.
(laughs) JERSEY JON: Yeah, I know.
It's still got pretty decent paint on it.
It's dusty and dirty, but yeah, it's got oil in it.
JERSEY JON: This is what I mean about layers.
Here it is, I'm in the back of this pick.
I'm like where the stuff first went in the garage.
And here's this Mobiline rocker oil can
in really nice condition. Like, you see the graphics side,
it's not rotted out, it's a great rocker can,
and an amazing piece of petroliana.
(sighs)
JERSEY JON: I'd do 200 on the rocker can.
SANDEI: Okay. The rocker can's a good item.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, I know it is.
SANDEI: 225.
JERSEY JON: I'll take it for 225.
SANDEI: You damn straight, you will.
(Jersey Jon and Robbie laugh)
JERSEY JON: Alright, thank you.
VICTOR: A long time ago, as a member
of the Antique Motorcycle Club,
all my friends had old vintage Harleys.
This counted as an antique motorcycle,
and I rode it up Mount St. Helen's.
When the Antique Motorcycle Club
came and had their national meeting here.
MIKE: Wow. This is the earliest Vespa that I've seen in the US.
I think at one time, the most I ever had was...
I think 14 Vespas.
VICTOR: At one time, the most that I ever had
was well over 300.
(laughs) VICTOR: So...
And that's not counting what was supposed
to be for sale in the store.
VICTOR: Which at one time was like 200.
So altogether, at one point in my life, I had 500--
MIKE: That's why you're the Marlon Brando of the Vespa world.
(Cara laughs) VICTOR: Yes. Uh-huh.
MIKE: What's going on with this scooter?
What is happening? Is it fitting into the dream still, or...?
VICTOR: Well, you know that one, I kind of have a...
a soft spot for it.
MIKE: What would it take to buy this?
VICTOR: 20,000.
MIKE: I mean, it's... VICTOR: That's a fair number, by the way.
MIKE: No, I know, I mean, I know. I mean...
I mean, I just...
It's a pretty amazing scooter, man.
VICTOR: This came from Portland. Mario, who was the last
factory-trained Vespa mechanic alive in America
at the time, he rebuilt it with the original parts.
MIKE: Ohh... look at that little peanut.
Powah, feel the powah!
VICTOR: Mm-hmm.
VICTOR: The rod model was the first Vespa
that was really designed for like real mass production.
It used a metal linkage that it creates a bunch
of wear points, and it's not the most practical thing.
MIKE: So the guy rebuilt the engine on it.
VICTOR: Yeah, Mario's Italian Motorworks
down in Portland, Oregon. MIKE: What are you thinking
on the other Faro Basso down there?
The one there that's sitting there.
What are you thinking on that?
VICTOR: Uh...
MIKE: Because to be honest with you,
that color does not match that.
VICTOR: Right. I know that. MIKE: Yeah. So it's like,
that doesn't have to be sold with that then.
VICTOR: Just the scooter. MIKE: Yeah.
VICTOR: I know you have to make some money on it.
8,000.
(sighs)
MIKE: Hmm...
What are your chances you think you got a seat for that?
VICTOR: 90%.
MIKE: Okay. CARA: Yeah.
MIKE: So that... VICTOR: It's just finding it. Yeah.
MIKE: 17,000 for this.
7,000 for that.
VICTOR: 24,000? MIKE: With the seat. With the seat.
JERSEY JON: Wait, wait, wait, ugh.
I found something pretty cool. Argh!
Looks like an old lap steel.
Supro 60.
Man, this thing's got to be from the '50s.
Look at it, it's a lap, like lap steel, Robbie.
ROBBIE: Oh, that's cool. JERSEY JON: Country and western piece.
JERSEY JON: Very cool. So in good condition,
I mean, this thing is probably like, with the case
and cleaned up nice, it's probably about, you know,
a $300 item, actually.
This is, this is a lap steel,
you know. It'd have a slide that went on it,
and you played it like a, you know,
like a steel guitar. ROBBIE: It sat on your lap, yep.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, it sat on your lap, but the electric--
SANDEI: Does it have a case? JERSEY JON: But the-- No case.
JERSEY JON: What makes a lap steel guitar cool
is the sound it creates.
It has that whiny melody,
used a lot in country music and Hawaiian music.
This is a great piece for the Nashville store.
We have so many musicians down there,
somebody's going to snap this thing right up.
SANDEI: Joisey, 2.
JERSEY JON: Hey wait a second, wait a second now, I told ya
in perfect condition, this thing is probably worth $300.
SANDEI: Right. JERSEY JON: I mean, with the case,
and everything like that. But it's you know...
ROBBIE: It's beat up. JERSEY JON: It's pretty beat up.
JERSEY JON: You know. It's missing a lot of...
a lot of decoration that was on it.
SANDEI: Do you think 150 is fair?
JERSEY JON: I was thinking more like 125.
SANDEI: 130.
JERSEY JON: 130... hmm...
SANDEI: Come on, Joisey, you can do it.
(Jersey Jon laughs) JERSEY JON: You're a sweetheart.
You know what, 130, right?
SANDEI: 130. JERSEY JON: Yeah, I'll do that for you.
SANDEI: Oh, I love you, Joisey.
JERSEY JON: I love you too, thank you, sweetie.
(laughing)
JERSEY JON: Alright.
SANDEI: I was shocked that they knew
as much as they did.
The fact that Robbie and Jersey came over
did such honor to Don.
ROBBIE: You know, it's definitely a memorable day.
JERSEY JON: Yeah. ROBBIE: And I was talking to Jersey,
he said he'd love to stay here tonight.
SANDEI: And I'd love to have him stay.
ROBBIE: I know. He'd love to hang out here with you tonight.
JERSEY JON: You're such a sweetheart.
ROBBIE: He said he'd get some great picking going, and...
Hey, you know what, we put a dent in it today, just a little.
SANDEI: You did. Thank you.
ROBBIE: Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.
ROBBIE: I mean, Don had a great eye, and Sandei
is doing him right by putting this stuff
back out to the masses.
SANDEI: Oh my God, muah!
We're getting married.
ROBBIE: He needs the extra garage space.
We'll see you soon. SANDEI: Thank you.
JERSEY JON: See you later. SANDEI: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
(honks horn)
SANDEI: I love you guys!
VICTOR: When I bought this, as far as I know,
there was no other rod model had been found yet.
MIKE: How many years ago was that?
VICTOR: I probably had this scooter since...
...'94. MIKE: Wow.
VICTOR: Maybe older, actually.
MIKE: And it's so wild, all those trips to Europe.
VICTOR: Yeah.
MIKE: You find one of your oldest scooters...
here in the United States.
VICTOR: Yeah. This bike is very, very rare in Europe too.
MIKE: Oh yeah. VICTOR: You know,
the thing is the original paint.
MIKE: Yes. VICTOR: You know.
Original tool kit.
MIKE: Is it? VICTOR: Yep.
MIKE: Original paint rod model, 1948 Vespa.
Faro Basso, 1952.
If anybody is going to have something like this,
it makes sense that it's Victor Vespa.
MIKE: If you have a seat, it sounds like you have a seat.
VICTOR: And like I say, if I didn't, they're reproduced.
MIKE: It sounds-- I know... CARA: But you want a seat.
MIKE: I mean, that's an original scooter...
MIKE: ...but you have to get something sweaty on there.
VICTOR: Right. MIKE: You know what I mean.
VICTOR: Oh yeah. CARA: Where were you at, 24?
VICTOR: Yeah, we're at 24. MIKE: 24,000.
MIKE: Where are you at?
CARA: Let it go.
(laughing) VICTOR: No, okay, that's what you're...
CARA: Lighten the load, remember? What's the mantra?
MIKE: Why don't we do this, why don't we do this?
Why don't we do this...
25,000 for the pair.
Alright, man.
MIKE: Oh my gosh. I love it,
I absolutely love it, love it, love it.
VICTOR: Mike, I'm so happy for you.
MIKE: Thank you, man. VICTOR: Okay.
CARA: Do you know what a giant step that is for him...
to do that? MIKE: Oh, I can't even imagine.
I mean-- CARA: Like I'm crying because...
this is huge for him to do this.
MIKE: Victor put me back on my heels.
As soon as he said to me, when we did the deal,
he goes, I'm so happy for you, Mike.
That says so much about who he is as a person.
Something that he loves so much and had for so many years,
and really made a living from that industry.
MIKE: And after a little bit of negotiation,
"I'm so happy for you."
What a day, what a moment.
MIKE: Argh...
VICTOR: There you go.
MIKE: Wait, I want to love on this thing for a second.
VICTOR: I was so surprised that Mike was so into Vespas
and knew so much about them.
CARA: There you go. Up.
CARA: He just has this, you know, a love for that bike.
And it was the first thing that he's really sold.
It was a huge deal.
And I was so proud of him to let that go.
MIKE: I had a good time. VICTOR: You make sure you enjoy that scooter.
MIKE: I'm glad to meet the legend that I finally been
hearing about for so many years. Alright?
VICTOR: Nice meeting you too. MIKE: Alright.
CARA: Drive safe.
(honks horn)
MIKE: Roll along, buddy! CARA: Take care!
VICTOR: Okay, see ya, Mike. (laughs)
CARA: Thanks!
