Another rider is born

For her 16th birthday, we purchased an inexpensive Chinese scooter for my daughter. The idea is that since we just moved, she will be able to occasionally take herself back and forth to see friends a mile or two away at our old neighborhood. She will also be able to ride to practice and home again. It might also allow her to have transportation for the purpose of getting a part time job this summer.  She has a full face helmet and mesh Tourmaster jacket. She will be getting gloves soon... So far she seems to be handling the bike well.

Yesterday Meet at Culver's

Yesterday, one fellow scooterist and I met at Culvers on the corner of Hurstborne Lane and Watterson Trail. I love the pork tenderloin sandwich. We're kicking around the idea of starting a scooter club. I like the idea, because the 1200 miles i've got on Excalibur would be a lot nicer if I had other friends to share it with.

To that end, I have started a Yahoo group:

(http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/louisvillescooter/).

It called LSG or Louisville Scooter Group. Might use the same name for the club if I get my druthers. I have the domain http://www.louisvillescooter.org/ forwarded to the yahoo group for ease of reference.

There is at least one more group in Louisville I know of, but they do not give a warm welcome unless you're on either a classic Vespa, or an expensive Japanese scoot. My objective is to turn nobody away based on make or model of scooter. I would even welcome anybody on two wheels, really. As long as everybody shows courtesy and displays some level of friendship, I think they should be able to join this scooter group.
