Yeah that's right. We're starting it. We might be in different corners of the country - hell, I think one of you is in Taiwan? - but we'll have a Scooter Gang.
I would like to look into getting leather vests like those biker gangs. Ok, not really. But they do match and that is a key component of the gang aesthetic. What shall we have? Matching frames? :oP
Please post pics of your scooter, or one that you want, here. Discuss all things scooter!
The Sachs MadAss (above) is 49 cc (no license, no insurance req'd) and is supposed to handle way better than a typical scooter because of the bigger wheels, plus it has decent suspension and brakes...
so does this gang require any kind of initiation or maybe dance fighting skills? Cause I'm in this other gang called The Fifth Street Knives so I have credentials for dance fighting.
Thanks tk, I did see this. It's wonderful but I don't think it's really on the market yet. The frame of that thing is really gorgeous though, isn't it?
FYI, you don't dance fight with a knife. Thats just regular fighting. You dance fight by snapping in rhythmic unison with your gang, doing jazz hands, singing, twirling around light poles, leap frogging over a fire hydrant......basically doing whatever you have to do so at the end of the dance fight you are the one saying, "You just got served!" while standing back to back with one of your gang members with your arms folded. Then after you are done you peel out on your scooter and do a wheely, or maybe skid through a mud puddle.......soooo... thats generally how a dance fight goes down.

Have you been hanging out at the Comet again??
No, I don't have it yet. But I am eyeing one of these:
Red Stella
Tell me why I shouldn't get this one again?
Or I like the Buddys too:
in black?
he he he
Damn image resizing
What do we think of the TN'G Low Boy?
get a damn Vespa
this guys a gangsta' for sure...
Not to discount the other threads, they can be found here:
How feasible is a scooter in SF?
Mopeds & Scooters
And we've had a full page or 3 about it on the grad school thread, mixed with some angst, though.
Anyone seen the relatively new Sachs MadAss moped (just coming out in the US via 1977 Mopeds)? very cool, check it...
Picture, bothands?
it aint a scooter, but it will scoot...
I want a cream-colored Buddy. But that lowboy is also very nice, dubK. What about the TN'G Milano?

Ooh, also considering a Tank:
That is not a scooter. Your membership in the Gang will have to be reviewed.
so does this gang require any kind of initiation or maybe dance fighting skills? Cause I'm in this other gang called The Fifth Street Knives so I have credentials for dance fighting.
OMG. Dance fighting, yeah! I want in on that gang too. Can you invite me? No really.
Your membership in this particular gang is contingent on your ability to post something scooter related.
wK- this should appeal to your greeness:
detatchable 1kw fuel cell powered moto cycle, read more here

i have visions of Vado in a side car
Vado - thats exactly what I was thinking!
Quadrophenia that is.
whoa another phil
"eat dirt" on the mudflap
I love the Red Stella and the one dammson posted!
Oooo! Oooo! Can we pick out gang names?
p.s. I like this one:
My husband and I have a matching pair of Razor Scooters. (I'm dead serious on this one.)
I'm a pixies fan and I never ever heard that song before.... weird!
Its on the Bossanova album
I have just found the following site, it is a glorious depository of all things scooter.....
My happy place: ClassicalWheels.com
Also, drool:
Kim Deal used to be soooo dreamy
lets start our own gang Garpike!
rockers vs. mods = bicycles vs. mopeds
PS: I always have a knife on me.
If we're going to have rival "biker" gangs, does that mean that we'll settle our disputes with dance fighting, as cpnorris mentioned above? Ha ha.
Kalyani, that scoot you posted is gorgeous....as for names, I rather like Pixelwhore's suggestion. "The Archinect Mods"?!?
why else would I carry a knife? if michael jackson can dance-fight it in "beat it" so can I!
I'm in.
Notice he didn't decide until we brought up dance fighting, ha ha!

HA ha ha, this is true, I believe you can get a better idea here:
West Bank Story
No scooters but plenty of dance fighting. Also I think I spotted a falafel cart.
will the leather jackets say, "Architecture Sucks" on the back? If yes count me in
japanese
or
italian
DubK
Is that Middle Eastern place still there in Clifton...basically where Clifton dies into McMillian???
They had badass falafel
