scroll down a bit, it's under videos.

i love the caption. and that the guy says it feels like he's "cavorting around europe."

i don't feel like i'm cavorting through europe when i ride my scooter. maybe i'm doing something wrong? i'll try wearing a scarf.

is this dude any of you guys on mb? you should cavort in austin with us. but you know, me mainly.

Cool video. :D


I do find it interesting that he has had 2 accidents but still does not wear any safety gear. :?:

I get the cavorting feeling sometimes—just this weekend in fact. There's a narrow, twisty road that's lined with small houses set into the Hills. Vroom. "Ciao!"
He's had two accidents but isn't giving his scooter away anytime soon.
He's had two accidents, doesn't wear any gear, and has walked away. Forget cavorting around Austin; I want to take him to Vegas!

yes! this and the baguette! excellent suggestions. maybe i will invest in a front rack and basket, just to put a baguette in. so i can cavort.

but i think i'd rather galavant.

I'm going to run out now and buy a baguette and stick one end in the kneebasket, let the other end stick out quite conspicuously, and put a beret on my helmet.

Zut Alors!
