Remember Kalaisha Watrous, the Portland scooterist whose accident made the scooter community rounds back in March? I kept checking the web site that had been set up for accepting donations, but there were no updates for awhile. It’s been over a year and a half since I was hit, and I’m still getting treatment, […]

Now here’s a classic. A reader, Mario from southern California, sent me these before (click on the little pic for a larger view) and after photos of his 1986 Honda Elite 150 Deluxe that he restored and painted himself. Not only does he have one of the coolest scooters on the beach, he’s also helped […]

Wow. From Genuine Buddy-matching saddlebags to a Yamaha blue or burgandy matching top case (and a bunch of other colors in between), the Willie & Max “semi custom colors” series has a palette for nearly every palate. The line also includes sissy bar bags, tool bags, and two sizes of saddlebags. Not all stores […]

I went to Vermont for a few days, and took Ilene with me. She went over the 1,000 mark on her odometer on the main street of West Topsham, and I stopped to take a few photos. As I was parked there, a small truck with three teenagers drove by. They slowed down, and the […]

How did we miss this one? Check out the Icon “Hooligan” helmet, which comes in pink, a gorgeous lavender/purple and a bunch of other colors. I absolutely adore the purple one. I won’t say that purple is the new pink (this was predicted by experts both in 2004 and in 2005, and it hasn’t […]

I realize as I write this that I have never even seen a Vino 125 in person (I lead a very sheltered life), and yet now one of my favorite daily stops is the Vino 125 Girls Yahoo! group. Founded in August 2005, the Vino 125 Girls Clubhouse now has almost 80 members and generates […]

I had written about how I’d made my GIVI top case faux reflector into a real reflector back in June, and received a number of letters from readers thanking me for the tip.
A reader, Chris Carroll, wrote to tell me he’d followed my example for his Vespa GT top case, and I’ve posted his photos […]

Happy Ride to Work day!
If you haven’t left for work yet, it’s not too late to take your two wheels. Ride safe!

One of the best parts of owning scooterseatcovers.com is getting photos of customer’s scooters after they get their order. I’ve been working on redesigning the site, including adding some new photos to the gallery - so even if you have no desire to ever get a scooter seat cover, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy the […]

All these years, you had no idea that the unassuming 1987 Honda Elite 50 gathering dust in the barn was a “real babe magnet”! At least, that’s what this auction claims.
Putting the funny auction aside, it would be cool to have an 80’s Elite. If you’re interested in learning more about the babe magnet […]
