Good afternoon, scooter friends! I am homebound, mostly and missed a great group ride with our club, the St Pete Scooter Club. Thank goodness we have the game Scooter Tag. The local crowd is not interested in it, so we play nationwide tag on Modern Vespa and Scooter Diva. It only entailed 15 minutes of riding for me today, so it didn't kill my poor back. I love it for when I don't have time to go on the long rides, and it gives me a challenge. Are any of you folks interested in playing the game with us? If you don't know about it, let me know, and I will post the "rules". All you need is your scooter and a digital camera, and almost everybody has one of those nowadays. I think it's a blast!

The Rules:
* To start, someone posts a photo of their scooter with a landmark, the person posting the pic would state what will constitute a correct "tag" e.g. scooter in front of a lake.
* Other participants ride to a similar place in their area and take a photo with THEIR scooter in a similar spot.
* The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo with their bike gets to post the next photo for people to find.
Wanna Play?

Hey retrorider!! You just have an 'experienced scooter'... you did a nice job of making it less desirable for thieves!! Certainly we would not be offended by a busted up bike in the least!
;D

I wouldn't either had I been the one that did it.
I bought the scoot in rough shape I just got her back on her wheels again and back on the road (For how long I dunno but I am already looking for a better model for when I'm a bit more experienced till I can get my motorcycle legal).
Guy that had it before me hit a car hard enough that he broke a leg and thought the scoot was only good for parts afterward. I straightened the front fork a bit (A little more is still necessary pulls to the right a bit still) and put the plastics back together again.

Retrorider, You don't have to have the whole scooter in the photo. Just the headstock will do... besides, who are we to judge by appearances?

Okay, how do we go about getting it posted as a sticky?

Tag! If you look closely you can just see the ducks. And here's the new tag... your scooter in front of a Vietnamese restaurant:

Must be a franchise resturant? Nope! Same town, same restaurant!

It's the same place. We live in the same county. Now, if it will just warm up so I can find that boat ramp...

Post by nickiemcnichols on Feb 7, 2009 15:50:09 GMT -5
Here's your boat ramp... I think it's even the same ramp.
And here's the new tag:
The tag is your scooter in front of a mural...

this thread should be in the Remember...It's all about the ride! section
does everyone else agree?

Post by nickiemcnichols on Feb 8, 2009 20:19:59 GMT -5
I think it's important enough to have it's own thread or department, like it has on Modern Vespa and ScootPinellas. It's just way too much fun to hide it!

Phaze, I don't get it. You went right over my blonde head. Who's going to get the mural tag?

Post by Scootless Wonder on Feb 12, 2009 10:02:16 GMT -5
If I'm not mistaken that's one of the GTA games he's playing. He said not to ask how he got the scooter because the only way to get a ride in that game is to jack it from someone else. (Usually via a nice punch to the face or a bullet...).

Is anyone here interested in another tag? We seem to have lost Scootdoggydog, on this and the other site as well...
