It's true...

The rumors on the board are true. We've got 'em and we're putting them through their paces. Look to the August issue of Scoot! for a full review.

A scooter collector's dream!

I have to give a shout-out to reader Brian who sent me a link to a cool scooter memorabilia site called Punks on Parkas that has a great scooter toy section containing potos and infromation on mouthwatering vintage scooter toys. Any collector will get a serious case of toy envy when looking at the photos on the site. It also has sections for postcards, magazines/ads, misc. memorabilia and brochures. I've seen items from my collectionin there, but it's only a small percentage of the great stuff contained within. Check it out!

Two-stroke scooters do make a racket!

I saw an Associated Press photo on Yahoo! which had the following caption:
"Indian security personnel inspect a scooter damaged due to a bomb blast in Gauhati, India, Monday, Jan. 8, 2007."

At first, I thought they were checking it to see if the scooter was a bomb. I used to have an aftermarket exhaust on my bike which made it sound as if it would explode. I eventually went back to stock. It seemd odd to have a super-loud scooter that only went 40mph.
