Lady on Scooter Meets Tough Guy on Chopper

Although this isn't really photography or design related, it's something I thought was cool. We were leaving the grocery store the other day and a lady, probably late 50's-early 60's, was tooling around the parking lot on a little moped. (This will be about the age when I will be running about on one, although Joel wants one now.) It had a cool basket on the back and we followed her out onto the street; not in a stalker like way, but in a normal flow of traffic way.

At the stoplight she pulled up next to the tough looking biker on a chopper she'd been following. We were turning left, so were right next to them. She said, "Want to trade?" to the the seasoned biker. He laughed heartily and asked, "Where's your helmet!?" I thought it was hilarious as the tough leathery biker guy was asking the little white haired lady on her scooter where her helmet was. She then proceeded to tell him it was under her seat and she normally wears it; but they were both laughing and having one of the best stoplight conversations I've ever witnessed.
