Just what is a scooter anyway? Currently the word ???scooter??? is used for a number of different vehicles which causes considerable confusion. There are ???mobility scooters??? used by handicapped people. There are a variety of ???sidewalk scooters??? for use by kids – stand-up scooters either with or without an engine, small sit-down scooters, etc. They don’t travel at much over 10 miles an hour. There are electric scooters which generally do not travel very fast.gt;>> A. This is typically done by changing to a higher performance exhaust, larger cylinder and piston, larger carb with different jetting, lighter flywheel, water cooling, etc. The first place to start is nearly always the exhaust.

Mobility scooters, there are so many brands and models to chose from that researching and reading reviews can be confusing. An electric scooter can offer you freedom and pride without having to relie on help with others. Mobility scooters come in many capacities, colors or styles such as 3 wheel or 4 wheel. It pays to do your research and review you options before making that purchase.
Quite a few light capacity mobility scooters have a maximum load of 250 pounds. A certain amount of light weight models can be broken down into a few sections or folded for easy transport in a vehicle. Many high capacity electric mobility scooters may require an electric lift. Always check with your insurance before buying or making that purchase.

I have just finished reviewing the 2nd episode of the new FX show “Son’s of Anarchy”. I have been a fan of the FX Show “The Shield” for years and I have to say, I have enjoyed “Sons of Anarchy” so far. The show has great bikes and lots of action!
As a Member of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club, I can see many mistakes already in the show. One thing that really surprised me is how people have reacted to the show and me personally. People who know I’m a member of a Motorcycle Club are asking me, “Are you guys really like that???” Most of these people have known me for years! This is just after a two episodes of “Sons of Anarchy” their wondering if I’m leading some kind of double life.

Many of the “facts” in this story are based on Legend and Myth as much of the history of the Motorcycle and it’s Culture was lost in the great rebellion of 2057.
Taken from a history book in the year 2095…
Motorcycles And The Culture They Inspire 1868-2017
Motorcycles started out as steam engines strapped on to bicycles in 1868. Soon after the gas engine took its place in the 1900’s there were Motorcycle shops and Dealers all over the World. For awhile, Motorcycle were simply used as transportation. In 1907, when Henry Fords, Ford Motor Company, released the Model-T at a price everyone could afford, the Motorcycle soon went from a necessity to a luxury item.

A simple description of scooter would a two wheeled motor vehicle. But over time there have been so many changes, scooter is not that simple vehicle once it used to be. In the beginning it came with step through frame, engine located at the backside and wheels always less than 16″ in diameter.
The most popular models of are the Honda scooters, Vespa scooters and Yamaha scooters. If you own or ride a scooter, it is good to have decent knowledge about the scooter parts. It is not complicated. Smaller changes, checking scooter parts for a quick fix can only help and saves time and money. It is actually fun to look up for the new scooter parts that might add to sleek looks and shininess of the machine.

When we were growing up the normal progression towards riding a two-wheel bicycle began with a tricycle. These three wheels helped us to grow accustom to pedaling and steering while providing the balance of three wheels and minimizing falls. Then we moved up to a two-wheel bicycle with training wheels. The same concept and advantages applied until we were ready to go it alone with only two wheels. Eventually, if we were bold and daring enough, our pedaling was replaced with a high performance motor and our two-wheeled bicycles became a motorcycle.

MOTORCYCLE CLUBS THE BROTHERHOOD MENTALITY VERSUS THE GANG MENTALITY
I want to talk about the Brotherhood mentality versus the gang mentality in the Motorcycle Club universe. Now for those of you who may be asking what is the difference? I will set up a scene to help give you a peek into the life! At a local Bar a member of a Motorcycle Club walks in he sees four Bikers playing pool, He can tell they are a bit nervous, They see his patches and they know who he is with. Now how does he act? Does he walk over to the pool table knock the 8 ball in the pocket say games over and tell one of them to buy him a beer? Or does he walk over introduce himself and let them know when they are done shooting pool they are welcome to stop over at the bar have a beer and talk with him! One is the gang way of thinking the other is the Brotherhood way of thinking! I really don’t think I need to tell you which is which!
