You Might Be A Scooter Dork If...

You go on vacation and all you really want to do is ride a rental scooter WFO on the beach road...

Like when I went on a cruise that stopped for the day on Curaçao?

The force is strong with you both! We go to my friends river house about once a month and I always tell him to bring his trailer so we can bring our scooters and cruise the scenic roads that run along the river, and he never wants to hassle with it. I have two scooters and he has one as well.

How about...

You walk into your local scooter shop to order a part and wind up covering the sales floor for a bit.

Your local dealer refers customers with weird bikes to you for guidance.

Friends send you links to the weird scooter they find on Craigslist to see if you think it's worth getting.

You're unfazed by broken control cables and keep a spare or two on the scooter.

You have more scooter shirts than dress shirts in your wardrobe.

People are genuinely surprised when you show up at work *without* a scooter.

You ride your scoot to work regularly and never check the weather forecast.
Ahhh-choooo!

No dilemma, Charlie...

Obviously they can't all fit on at once - so you just give 'em rides 1 at a time.

So, how much did you end up paying for the Lambretta?

Gee, howdja know?

I know that my target of lust
Should be girls with a silicone bust
But as I get older
Their shoulders get colder
So I'll stick with the oil and rust

Or you participate in a Bahamas scooter invasion. Cruise over to rent every 100 and 125 cc scooter and ride the snot out of them all day!

That's way past "dork". Hell, that's full-blown Scootzheimer's Disease.

Points off for me, then. Not a big fan of rust...and I would have held out for a Series I Li or an LD150.

Whenever you and the spouse are on the town, and you see a scooter parked, you just have to go over and check it out. Or whenever you and the spouse are driving, you point out scoots passing by.

Actually agree with that one. But then it's only like 43 parts to remove, strip prime and paint...no big deal! That would be a nice little scooter!

Yes that is exactly what I do

You might be a scooter dork if you put up with 8 hours of tattooing to have a scooter inked on your body.

Yeah...I might be a Dead Head too!:mrgreen:

That's why I love this Amerivespa video...

"Red and white .... / Blue suede shoes...."

Oh, and you might be a Scooter Dork if you come into a conference room at work, your co-worker sniffs the air, and says "good ride in this morning?"

(my khakis get a little two-strokey lately!)
