Scooter Scooters Everywhere
Was wondering my fellow members how ofter do you see other scooter riders in your area. Not motorcycles just other scooters. Just was wondering cause I do not see many where I live in Metro-Detroit. Everyone likes their Chevy/Chryslers/Fords. Well at least I will be the only one around town

I see a lot of bikes and scooters here in Florida. Of course we have a year round riding season too.

As cold as NY State can be, Fla. can be just as hot. I've baked on my rides for many a year down there. Once my CX 500 overheated in Orlando while I was stuck in a jam on I4...
In N Carolina, we get the hotness and the coldness-- The worst of both environments. LOL |

hardly less than two on a ride to or from work, usually around 5 or 6, though. And that is rain or shine in Vegas.

Lots around here! Most don't wave back though, there are a lot of snobs in this city.
However, I did recently go to a scooter club meet, we had 40+ riders there and some really cool custom scoots! |

Raleigh has a lot of scooters zipping on by the cars, but most of them don't have plates on them, so they are the 50cc types...

All depends on the temperature. 70*F and above they start coming out of the wood work.
50*F and below only those with no other option ride. |

I work at a university so I see quite a few scooters in the summer. Students find it cheaper to ride their scooters than a car for the short distance from their apartment to school.

I see that quite often in scoots compared to cycles. We don't have the sense of a community among scooters yet. That's why we have forums and clubs and such to bring scooters together. Funny, though, I have seen Harley riders acknowledge scooters with waves. Who'd have thunk it???
