They’re heeeere! Two awesome jackets from Tourmaster
14 Comments Published by Soozn June 28th, 2007 in scooters.The two Tourmaster Jackets (Indigo & Trinity) I wrote about on my last post arrived.

9 Comments Published by Lesley June 22nd, 2007 in news & gossip.Alrightie…
The uprising has been put down, but I think I’m permanently damaged from it. If you don’t know about the original “ants in my pants” incident, then by all means go read up. It was truly and completely traumatizing.
So I finally got up the courage to give the scooter a nice detailing. The […]

I can’t decide if I like my reflective flames.
10 Comments Published by Crystal June 12th, 2007 in accessories, safety.I bought some reflective silver flames from Weston Signs & Decals’ ebay store, and I put them on my scooter yesterday. I thought they’d add a little flare to the scoot while adding a little extra safety feature.
I’m not really 100 percent loving them because I think they look more sticker-y than I thought they […]
