77 miles since 1990???  I think the guy would have been better served with a hand cart :)

My first thought was that you can never have enough ice-cream trucks cruising the neighborhood on a hot summer night, but this is a refrigerator, not a freezer, so there goes that idea .....

You just gotta sell 'em fast....   :wink:

Oops!   I just realized that it IS being sold as a freezer unit.

So it's a good thing, with that Tomos moped basis, that nothing has to happen "Fast"!

When we lived in Norfolk, my favorite thing was to hear the bell on that Good Humor ice cream truck.   Most expensive thing they had was 15 cents; but we could usually get the nickel popsicles ...

Timing couldn't be more perfect.  I am literally retiring tomorrow.  It is my last day at my part time job.  I will be 70 years old Wednesday and entering that full arse retirement at that age.  Of course I have retired before from other full time and part time employment since leaving a long career in Law Enforcement twenty years ago, but I am pretty sure this one is going to stick this time.  I would consider the Ice Cream business listed above, but if you have to rebuild the engine every 77 miles, that is really going to eat into your profits.....

I flirted with the idea of doing the PediCab driver thing as a way to meet people and enjoy the benefits of exercise.
Someone beat me to it in Cedar Key and seems to have summarily gone TU....not around anymore.

Here yah go, the real deal. They had these going around the neighborhood when I was a kid back in the paleo... My brother and I would get some spare change from our mom and go racing down the street to catch him. I think you could get an ice cream bar for a nickel!
This'd be your perfect retirement vehicle, no motor to rebuild and keeps you in shape as a bonus!

I used to fish during the shad run in New England, along the Conn. river.  There was one enterprising fellow, going up and down with a cooler, selling bait, etc.  I you knew how to ask...he'd sell you one of the Budweisers he kept in the bottom, below everything else. 

A Bud makes fishing much more tolerable.

Lol.  I’m thinking swapping on a old Honda 90 in place of that moped would make a world of difference.  Might even be able to get a cone for yourself with the profits!
