My local scooter club was invited tonight to an advance screening of Larry Crowne... a movie starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. It's about a guy who was laid off, bought a scooter to conserve money, got roped into a scooter club, and in the process began really living life for the first time. I totally identified with all these themes in the movie.
Buying a scooter is without a doubt one of the BEST things I've ever done for myself. Scootering takes all the dread out of commuting and running errands, and just makes them plain fun! And the sense of community in a scooter club is like nothing else I've ever seen. It's just fantastic... like a big family with all the fun and none of the drama. Life really is all about the little things.  |
Wow you may have sold me on this. I wasn't aware of scooter clubs! I love my Miata but when I see scooters parked in sneaky places I have scooter envy. I wasn't aware of scooter clubs. I really need to get out and meet some new people and this could be a great avenue. Thanks for sharing!
