I have pretty much fallen in love with all things scooter, but I'm glad I'm not the only one around here! Other than that, I'm a freshman taking classes for Nursing, who loves photography, and making music.

God bless you, alexnick, we need more nurses. You're likely to meet a cute girl to ride with in nursing school. Best wishes.

Actually due to the extended years of drinking coffee full strength, drinking decaf causes me to go into shock .

My all-time favorite Monty Python quote is my current voice mail message:

Technically, I'm not 37 for another couple of weeks, but I have been looking forward to being able to say this for the next year for quite some time now.

CRAPPITY.
Dude, I had Siouxsie hair and eyeliner. She was my idol.

I still sport my Misfits tattoo with pride.
bunny, you're just a year younger than me—if you were hanging out in those places it's a wonder we never met. I used to ditch school, go record shopping at VVV, then see a movie at the Inwood or shopping on Lower Greenville. Did you ever hang out at any FW clubs?

Angela, Sioux was an idol for me, too. I was even wearing the big Sioux head t-shirt in my fake ID picture (Vikon Village, any of you DFW people? Fake ID central!).

Though I must confess, I was more new wave than punk. And I mean that in all the worst, most embarrassing ways.

Some of my fondest memories were ditching school and going downtown. Millenium was this way neato memorabilia shop across the street from Fair Park. I attempted my fake ID phase, particulalry at Prophet Bar, except I looked twelve, so it didn't work. Eh, I still look twelve sometimes, for that matter. I don't remember going to FW, well wait...foggy memory, but I see something FW-ish in my head from that time. I remember VVV and that other record place in Richardson. Vikon Village...home of the hoodlum. The boy I dated skated at Bachman pretty much every other day. It's possible we did meet...

On a side note, I went to a Ministry concert back a few years. I must have been in my early twenties at the time...anywho, I was "ahem" experimenting and a young lass not much older than 17 came up and asked how old I was. I told her and she looked at me with big eyes and said, "Wow. You were around when it was the REAL stuff." I remember thinking, 'as opposed to this fake stuff that seems to work quite well?' THAT, my scooter friends, THAT made me feel old

Not mine, but it is the same year, model, and color as the one I once owned.

I purchased it in the same year it was manufactured, and I was 19 years its senior.

We looked like this (yes kids, those things are called tube socks (an early form of ATGATT), and yes kids, I had a buggar in my eye).

Funny post Doug!

But not all old people are old! My great grandmother lived to be 103 before she kicked the bucket, and she didnt turn old until the recent last 10 years of her life maybe. Say around 90+ she got seriously old old. Before that, she was taking care of herself, walking just fine, swimming and working out in the gym daily. She's still be alive and healthy if my great Aunt never sent her to the nursing home.

So remember...76? You think you're old? You're YOUNG compared to my great grandmother! You think your back hurts, your teeth rot out, your grand kids never visit, medication is expensive, and you cant figure out how to use those tiny new cellular mobile phone things, stop complaining!

My grandfather has a hat someone gave him a few years ago, he's around your age, actually I think maybe older, not sure, I forgot. His hat says "I'm no senior citizen, I'm just a recycled teenager!"

The scootering community overall has been getting older. this isn't just long time owners aging, but also the average age for new owners. The median at ModernVespa is probably over 40 at this point. I also think the larger scooters appeal to older riders.

The Buddy community is still younger, thanks in part to the Bud's lower price point.
