Anywho, here's the link if anyone's interested... http://tinyurl.com/dq52b

Surely this can't be the first time you've come upon a mainstream scooter article written in this style and tone. It's funny, but in "real life" I don't know anybody who fits this description. If the author ran into our Jersey Shore Scooter Club, he'd have little to report. What would he say? "These are a bunch of scooter enthusiasts, who appear to be a sampling of normal folk, from every walk of life". Yawn.

I didn't realize I was quite that much out of touch!

No, of course it's not the first time I've personally come upon this type of "article", nor will it be the last. I'm not really surprised about it either, but at least posting the link did generate a response
