Then you should read this blog ([/quote]http://sechstage.blogspot.com/). A buddy of mine is in Europe racing six days all winter and he has an entertaining take on things. This was the third on a list titled "Three things I don't like"
Enjoy.
[quote]Scooters: I was on the fence about this one because of the “at least they aren’t cars” argument, but I finally oscillated back the other way because “they could be bikes.” But apparently scooters are actually cool here, or at least their owners believe them to be. The fashion seems to be creating café racers by installing oversized scooter-racing tires (?), anodized motocross bars (yes, anodizing is also still cool), and stripping much of the “body work.” Not quite the same as Steve McQueen on a Norton. But hey, tell that to the kid wearing gold Pumas, jeans with a dozen zippers on each leg, a pink sweater with a popped-collar, and about 6” too much mullet coming out the back of his motocross helmet. I guess it’s the Euro answer to fixies… unmuffled two stroke engines vs. hipsters practicing skid-stops on capital hill? Toss up.
