Philip,
This reminds me of my first ride in an Europa. I was hitch hiking (back in
more inoscent times) and wearing a mini skirt (About 1969 or so). I think the
guy stopped just to see how I would get into his Europa. Getting in and
attempting to maintain a shade of modisty was an intersting ordeal.
