I don't know how many of them actually ride electric scooters, but those Raging Grannies sure are intimidating... - Tue, 24 Feb 2004 1:28pm

Go here:

And you can contact a member of the club whom, I'm sure, would be helpful--Possibly inviting you to a meeting or something.
It is Rally planning time now though so free time is at a biy of a premium.

Good luck,

There is a Vespa scooter club in Vic somewhere. I saw them at the Cambie supporting the Mad Caddies show. The boucer at the door had his fully decked Harley near the front door, and within an hour of him parking it there, it was surrounded by a massive swarm of these enraged bumblebee imitators. Some of them were wierd, with one of them having something like 17 rear view mirrors on it. As the bouncer was complaining about the quickly depreciating value of his hog, a large buff scooter owner walked by wearing a t-shirt saying "My other ride is your Mother." Most amusing. - Wed, 25 Feb 2004 5:34pm

Chicks . . yeah, that's my point boys!

Hey, I'm just kidding really. As a v-twin rider, it's my duty to bug ya. Scooters can be cool (if not the rental variety, I agree). Heck if they went faster, maybe I'd own one. And if they were bigger, and heavier, and sounded less like bees, and had an engine I could wrap my legs around, and vibrated more . . . well, mirrors are cool. - Fri, 12 Mar 2004 10:09am
