Today I rode the east coast of Fl with the scooter group "Scooten Scooters". Here are some pics:

Hi Keith- great pics as usual. Thanks for riding with us today. You can also check our yahoo group Scooten Scooters for more pics as we post them.

Wayne

Another snowbird came from up north today.

He used to ride scooters till he went to a Motorcycle. He will always be a friend to us on scooters. And a great friend who is looking forward to doing a LOT of riding with me.







The pics today were taken in a small town named Yeehaw Junction. Really!

Today I rode with Norm (from Mass), Wayne(and wife) and Billg(and wife) from Vero Beach to Melbourne, Fl.

Here are a few pics:







Now on this next one there is something in the pic that don't belong.



Keith

The Harley??

The bicycle is what we had in mind.

Keith,

Those are some nice pics and I'm sure you don't miss the Iowa weather. Was that Norm from the Mass. in one of the pics? Hope things are getting better with him. How do you enjoy the SWing compared to the Reflex. I know I liked my Reflex but it just didn't go good in the bay area traffic. It could be really difficult to merge on the interstate. Hope you're having fun down in Florida.

Keith,

I knew you meant the bicycle -- I was just trying to be funny. I know not all Harley riders have huge egos and if the dresser rider in your pic is part of your group then I apologize if I caused offense. I just get tired of the guys around here who purchased "membership in the club" and think that includes the right to belittle our choice to ride "little scooters." I bought my SWing new, which means I could've afforded a Sportster for quite a bit less. But I wanted something more, well, more. I've done 10K on the Swing in 9 months and have yet to be disappointed.

BTW, it looks like you've had decent weather in central Florida. I'm happy for you but jealous; it's rained every day for a week here in north FL...

Bill A,

Don't think you are missing anything for not getting a Sportster. I bought one new in 1986, and even though I really like it, it was just too small for me. I'm 6'0" and it was cramped for me. But one doesn't buy a Sportster for comfort IMO. I have nothing bad to say about it but it just wasn't anywhere near as comfortable as my SWing.. or the Reflex or Majesty I had. I had trouble riding more than 100 miles at at time on the Sportster due to the size of the frame and the seat.

Some say they beat a Sportster off the line from a stop light but I kind of doubt that. I know our Swings are much quicker and faster than most think they are, but I think my Sportster would beat my SWing off the line in a serious race. But I do think my Swing is a couple of mph faster at top speed though. But I think I had the last year of the Sportster with the 4 speed and chain. Maybe the 5 speed with the belt is equal for top speed.

BTW when you see some of the Harley riders wearing all those patches on their vests..most don't know what they mean. A couple of very serious Harley riders, who were the Hell's Angels type, told me what they meant once and it blew my mind. The Hell's Angles types get mad at people who buy a Harley and then TRY to act like a Harley rider. It is kind of funny what they think of those that do this. I never acted or dressed like a Harley Rider. In the summer I wore Haiwian shirts and a pair of these cool Neon Green sunglasses.

Roadrunner-
The Harley was actully a rental. 2 guys met us in the parking lot at our lunch stop, a father and son. The son was down from up north and was riding the father's beautiful yellow Gold Wing for the day and his dad rented the Harley for the day. Real nice guys! No attitude at all. We do have many hog riders that do have "the attitude" around here, too. To each his own.

Found a really cool place today with nice people fishing.







This place wanted $4 just to get into the gate. I didn't see much worth $4 so I just turned around.



Keith

And what kind of bate do you use for people fishing?

You can catch the most with rebates, but for fat flounders use debate. Best place to catch fat flounders is in Washinton, D.C.

Holy MACKEREL. Quit CARPing from your PERCH, SUCKER.

I'm a very experienced fisherman, with a lot of expertise at putting the worm on the hook. Does that make me the Master Baiter?

Bigbird, I don't know if you are the Master Baiter. I've heard there's a jerk off in Tennessee with years of experience.
