I thought it might be fun if we all went on a virtual group scooter ride together one weekend. Not all of us live in an area where there are organized group rides or maybe we’re too shy to join a group on our own (me!).  My husband suggested I organize a group ride for my readers here and I thought it was a great idea.

Here’s the idea… I pick a date for the ride. Anyone who’s interested gets on their scooter and rides that day, either by themselves or with others. The ride is going to have to be a significant distance, say at least 10 to 25 miles and should take you somewhere you’ve never been before, or at least somewhere fun/interesting/beautiful. Then, after your ride, you come back here to the site and share your experience in a few paragraphs and pictures. That way we all get to share in each others’ adventures to some extent!

What do you think of this idea? Please use the Comments link at the top of the post to let me know, OK?

I’m looking forward to your input!

Oh boy… The Motor-Scooters-Guide.com website has grown to the point that we can now support a discussion forum! So, let’s get the discussion going… you can talk to other readers who live in your area, who drive the same kind of scooter you do or you can just introduce yourself and/or ask questions about scooters, scooter maintenance or whatever you want.

So, let’s see if we can get some activity going, OK? I look forward to talking with you!

Check out the new scooter forum now…

Well, if I still have any readers out there, here’s a big old apology. What with caregiving duties, keeping a business going and being the main breadwinner in my family, I kind of fell off the wagon for blogging about my scootin’ adventures. Oh yeah… I also got married in June!

The good news is, things are calming down in my life… I think. So, I’m going to make more of an effort to keep up with the blogging here. One thing I can tell you is that there is always new content on the site, every single week… new scooter reviews, new eScooter Club members and tons and tons of Scooter questions and Answers! So, check them out…

Also, in the very near future, I’m going to be making a couple of exciting announcements to subscribers to my mailing list and this blog. So stay tuned for some scooter fun…

Now, as to what I’ve been doing with my dear little Genuine Buddy scooter… well, riding, of course! I am still as much in love with my Buddy as ever. It is fun personified. My scooter is my main form of motorized transportation. I do a lot of walking and bicycle riding too, but when I need to go futher or get somewhere quicker (like Walmart to pick up prescriptions for Mom or food for dinner), I take the scoot.

No matter what the price of gas, I’ve never had to break the bank to fill up. I get great mileage and I am still managing to stuff unbelievable amounts of stuff in and on my scoot. I would love to have a topcase and rear rack, but so far haven’t been able to fit it into the budget. No matter… I am still carrying tons of stuff!

I’d also like to publicly recognize two important contributors to the scooter website. These two gentlemen have made so many valuable contributions, by adding scooter stories and answering all sorts of “gearhead” questions I’m not able to answer. Thanks guys… I really appreciate you and so do my readers! Their names are Ron Goldwyn and Jim Zeiser. Check out their profiles in the eScooter Club.

OK, for now, that’ll have to be enough. But look for those announcements within the next day or two!
