Don’t Commute … Scoot!

This is basically a test post. I recently upgraded WordPress, my blogging software, and am having some problems with it. This post is intended to help me diagnose and fix those problems. Please ignore!

[Update] I think I’ve resolved my blogging problems. Time to get back to real work!

I know it’s been quite a while since I posted anything here in the blog. I promise to not let things go so long without posting again!

I came across this video produced by MRP (one of our vendors) which I think does a good job of highlighting how differently scooters are regarded here in the U.S. vs. elsewhere in the world.

I was particularly struck by how a little country like Vietnam buys over a million scooters a year, while we are hoping to get our sales up to 200,000.

What does the rest of the world see that we don’t?

It’s now officially winter - 20 degrees and falling, with the first 1+ inches of snow expected tonight. Not good for riding, so how about some dreaming?

This is a design idea for painting a Sicily 50 scooter to look like a Peter Max poster. Why Peter Max? Well, I figured if I was going to paint a scooter, I’d want it to be bold, with a hint of 60’s style, which led me to Peter Max. Besides, his was the only name I could remember!

What do you think? Have you thought of a custom paint job for your scoot?
