Ha! Nice too see we are being seen. The guy you are talking about it Eric. He works for me part time, and owns a printing company. I drive the stink out of my scooters, and well everything else I own, including a 1970 BSA Cafe racer, and my 1960 thunderbird (just painted today!) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/cruciformx/60%20tbird/tbirdpainted.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/cruciformx/60%20tbird/tbirdpainted.jpg) I honestly have no explanation as to why he rides like that, but I do know he is tall. at one point, I did feel kinda ghey riding, but I’ve been doing it for so many years, that I don’t give 2 craps any more, I get a laugh out the the guys who ride the choppers custom built, by someone else, just to fit in, and laugh even harder when I see a guy riding a full dresser Harley in Flip-flops. It takes a tough skin to ride a scooter, but I tell ya, my business has been booming, I can’t keep them in stock, and have hired a painter just to keep up with the restorations. Scooterists are an odd bunch, which makes it fun, and not just a bunch of people who all look the same wearing the same outfits, driving very similar vehicles. Take a look at some the pics from various rallies on [www.scoot.net](http://www.scoot.net) … the one that can’t be missed it Bandcamp, just outside of Pittsburgh [http://scoot.net/gallery/2008/06/pvsc/alltinyindex.html](http://scoot.net/gallery/2008/06/pvsc/alltinyindex.html) Enjoy! ---
