don’t molest that Buddy

how one Buddy rider dealt with unsolicited scooter-fondling from various unknown passersby.

 

 

not passive-aggressive, not belligerent or bleating in tone; just a polite, firm “this isn’t yours, so stop touching it.”

well played, AWinn6889.

srs gymkhana is srs.

Jumping off the Tabletop – High Desert Scooter Rally

Jumping off the Tabletop – YouTube.

well played.

i will resist the number of alternate comments that came to mind, such as Y HALO THAR AMBOLANCE or the last thing Jules needs is someone to reassure everyone else that she has a penis or now i kind of want to jump off a tabletop [...]

about the larry crowne thing

1. there is a ride saturday that meets at sportique highlands at 5:30 PM to see this, scoots only, special screening and a short ride.

um, although you guys with your weather and … your weather are not really that hardcore for riding year-round, i’m sorry to say.

strange days

“Scooter Commuter,” 1962 : 2strokebuzz.

quoth 2strokebuzz:

It is absolutely mandatory that you watch the Rank Organisation’s “Scooter Commuter” film from 1962. A lot of the pitch is still true today, but more than anything, it’s just heartwarming to see such well-shot footage of vintage Vespas and Lambrettas (and Corgis, and Bonds, [...]

The Sartorialist: MotoChic, New York & Milano

i frequently – okay, most of the time – question the Sartorialist’s eye, mainly because he seems to have a penchant for documenting ensembles which seem to descend directly from the Derelicte collection*.

very fine indeed.
