SHOW NOTAS: Tem sido semanas desde o último podcast e você pode estar se perguntando o que aconteceu. Eu estava um pouco sob o tempo por um tempo, mas diferente do que tenho sido vacilante frente e para trás pensando, "damn it escrever escrever!" Eu tenho idéias e ações empilhando passou as últimas semanas fazendo um trabalho de fundo sobre um casal de mostra chegando no próximo mês, mas em sua maior parte, é a limpeza da primavera foi, polir os scooters e esperando por algum tempo, andando o tempo de primavera. Finalmente, parece ter chegado.

SHOW NOTAS: Eu tenho todas as minhas scooters funcionando novamente. Com uma pequena ajuda de Scoot Richmond, eu finalmente tenho o meu favorito fugir, um pouco vermelho pristine 1965 Vespa 180ss, correndo e levei Richmond Riverside Drive. Eu também falar mais sobre minha viagem de retorno próximo a Denver.

Mostrar Notas: eu mencionei na semana passada que eu estava fazendo uma viagem rápida para fora de Denver. Foi uma viagem tranqüila para mim, mas parei mais uma vez para refletir sobre como a vida é fatal quando acordei na manhã de sexta-feira e soube que um avião havia caído em Nova York. Eu falo mais sobre isso e compartilhar as histórias de scooter poucos do meu tempo curto, em Denver.

Mostrar Notas: eu mencionei na semana passada que eu fui pod casting para dois anos. Muitos de vocês escreveram para dizer parabéns e como você faz isso. Isso me fez pensar e tudo o que posso dizer é que é persistência. Talvez essa seja uma das minhas melhores qualidades. Venha para pensar sobre isso, talvez ele também descreve uma qualidade necessária para quem está em scooting ou pelo menos aqueles de nós que estão em scooters vintage.

SHOW NOTAS: Este show é um pouco mais de uma etapa marca o meu segundo ano completo de pod casting e blogging. Para alguns de vocês que pode não parecer grande coisa, mas para alguém como eu, que se distrai facilmente, ele representa uma grande responsabilidade. Devo-lhe muito obrigado por me incentivando a continuar. Obrigado

SHOW NOTAS: Eu realmente amo de Janeiro. Tem de ser um dos meses do ano grande para mim, um momento em que o trabalho vem tudo em conjunto e culmina em um turbilhão de quatro semanas de atividade. É algo parecido com o melhor do mundo cheeseburger duplo com fudge chaser domingo para a sobremesa. Vou dar-lhe algumas idéias mais em meu trabalho do dia e, claro, jogar em um scooter poucos recursos da Internet fui verificar.

SHOW NOTAS: É um novo ano e janeiro rolou ao redor outra vez. Isso significa que a equitação do tempo frio. Eu não significa andar no tempo frio, quero dizer o tipo de equitação do tempo frio que exigiu algumas artes equitação calorosa e especial atenção para as condições de mudança.

Mostrar Notas: Para aqueles de você escolher este podcast até semanas depois que postar, é semana do Natal aqui em Richmond e Marcel está de volta a partir de uma longa turnê do coração, Indiana, que é e nós fomos até Washington DC para um pouco de R e R, incluindo um partido de feriado. Infelizmente, passamos por Washington Vespa loja que fechou o ano passado, outra vítima dos tempos econômicos difíceis, ou talvez que era outra coisa.

Mostrar Notas: Última semana show trouxe mais comentários sobre a compra de scooters na web e ficou me pensar mais sobre os prós e contras de comprar a nossa comunidade local, quando scooter parece ter ido global. Italk sobre isso e passar em um web scooter alguns picaretas para encontrar bling férias.

SHOW NOTAS: Foi mais uma quebra de duas semanas desde o último show e eu fui para fora para Denver e para trás, junto com a gastar horas tentando manter uma alça de trabalho. Eu tive sorte o suficiente para visitar desportos motorizados Erico em Denver e colocar um vídeo Qik você pode encontrar no site.

Shownotes: Fale sobre enferrujado, meu novo projeto é ruim, mas não tão ruim como o meu moped foi quando eu consegui. Uship entrega direta a você de todo os E.U..

SHOW NOTAS: Desculpe faltando show da semana passada. Muitas das mudanças no trabalho que eu tive muito pouco tempo para escrever ou dê uma vasculhada na internet. Em vez disso, todo o meu tempo livre tem sido gasto a trabalhar na minha recuperação. Só para mantê-lo atualizado, não só estou na reta final com a reconstruir moped, eu tenho o meu próximo projeto de restauração do gasoduto.

SHOW NOTAS: Que tal um pouco de quebrar todas as forças políticas a barragem? Eu gostei muito de voltar para a cave e minha cabine de pintura caseira, juntamente com a gastar mais tempo na minha recuperação moped. Eu vou lhe dizer mais sobre isso, assim como algumas dicas sobre como abordar uma restauração, se você for corajoso o suficiente para sequer considerar isso.

SHOW NOTAS: Eu achei uma nova fonte de novas peças de estoque antigo para a minha Ducati ciclomotor, eu falo mais sobre isso, e trazê-lo à segunda parte da minha entrevista com Ed Reggi, do St Louis Scooter Club.

SHOW NOTAS: Eu finalmente chegou a um outro passeio de domingo com o clube scooter 7hills. Além disso, eu era capaz de passar a maior parte do sábado a trabalhar no quadro recém pó revestido de meu projeto de ciclomotor. Vou postar algumas fotos do que no site scootercast. Esta mostra inclui a primeira parte de uma entrevista especial com Ed Reggi, uma lenda scooter St Louis e do homem renascentista.

Mostrar Notas: O que uma semana movimentada esta tem sido. Na semana passada tivemos uma oficina de scooter automático no scootrichmond, passei algum tempo a reconstrução do motor 50cc para a minha Ducati 1965 e ainda por cima de tudo isso, eu estava tentando acompanhar a execução scooter Cannonball, que envolveu até este sábado passado .

Shownotes: Rob Taylor fala sobre os cinco primeiros dias da corrida de scooter Cannonball, que incluiu passeios bonitos, falhas e bilhetes.

Entrevista com 2.008 pilotos Cannonball Scooter Rob Taylor, Patrick Owens e Bobo

SHOW NOTAS: Estamos de volta da Itália, ainda tenta catch-up no sono, e sonhar com o grande momento que tivemos na Sicília e Florença. Embora estivéssemos em Roma por poucos dias, ele realmente foi parar mais uma entre idas e vindas. A maior parte do tempo foi gasto relaxante com amigos e scooting em torno de Florença. Se você tivesse me seguir no Twitter, você sabe que nós fizemos ao museu Piaggio. Neste show eu vou lhe dizer mais sobre o museu, mas para aqueles de vocês que gostariam de um pouco mais de informação, eu vou lhe dizer mais sobre a história da Vespa Piaggio e na Itália.

Mostrar Notas: Este episódio é proveniente de Florença, Itália, acabamos de vir de Ragusa, que fica na parte sul da ilha da Sicília. Foi uma semana de jantares de família, celebração e de lotes do curso e muita conversa. Desde que estou na melhor das hipóteses, conversação em italiano, significa ouvir muito e pedindo para que as coisas lentamente ser repetido. Mas todos são muito paciente e realmente parecem estar felizes de nos ver.

SHOW NOTAS: Eu tenho a embalagem, se preparando para partir para a Itália em poucos dias. Tudo está no lugar, exceto algumas decisões de última hora sobre o tipo de equipamento que vou levar para minha configuração móvel. Há um outro passeio de longa distância que vem chamado Scooter Quest, mas não é apenas a distância a mesma velha história longa equitação. Esses caras vão usar a tecnologia streaming para documentar o passeio e dar-lhe a oportunidade de participar, enquanto eles estão viajando.

SHOW NOTAS: Quase tudo na minha vida ultimamente tem tido uma ligação scooter, mesmo os meus sonhos. Imagine isto, estou montando um vintage verde Vespa GS completo colina da Toscana, com campos de amarelo e topo de morro, montanha cidades ao redor. O sol é quente no meu rosto e então eu percebi, isso tem que ser um sonho, o scooter é ronronar junto com o zumbido 2 tempos suave e não é perder tempo, avançar ou voltar pegando fogo, como o meu scooters real. Bem, para mim era um sonho, mas não por muito tempo. Em duas semanas, Marcel e eu a cabeça para fora para uma reunião de duas semanas na Sicília, Itália e Florença. Esta semana vou falar um pouco sobre a viagem, mas principalmente sobre Alix de PAZ passeio scooter e seu retorno à Richmond depois de andar mais de 22.000 milhas em seu Buddy 125.

Mostrar Notas: Esta é uma grande semana aqui em Richmond. Alix retorna de sua viagem Bryan scooter paz e uma grande festa está prevista para sábado, 9 agosto de ScootRichmond. Eu vou te dizer mais sobre isso e também tenho alguns comentários sobre a equitação segura.

Mostrar Notas: Toda semana eu me sentar para planejar o show e começar a me perguntar se eu tenho alguma coisa a dizer. Algumas semanas são melhores que outros e eu diria que esta semana foi um muito bom. Eu recebi alguns e-mails que eu estou indo compartilhar com você e então eu vou te dizer muito sobre Amerivespa, todo mundo vai achar que você estava lá, pelo caminho, eu mencionei, eu não estava lá

Mostrar Notas: sexta-feira passada caiu ao largo da Ducati 50 quadros para obtê-lo em pó revestido e hoje eu expulso um monte de peças a serem cromadas, e eu não piscar os olhos a custo. Eu vou te dizer mais sobre isso, dar-lhe uma atualização sobre Alix Bryan e preencha o resto do tempo a falar de vários websites nova scooter.

Mostrar Notas: Ainda bem que você poderia ajustar dentro a este episódio eu tenho um relatório do livro, tal como prometido na semana passada. É Pete Davies recentemente publicado Lambretta Bíblia. Além disso, vou pegá-lo até em algumas negociatas automóvel que eu tenho feito e que você saiba mais sobre porque eu estou sentado aqui com um vazio Processo iPhone 3G.

Mostrar Notas: Espero que todos tenham tido umas férias agradáveis, para aqueles de vocês os E.U. foi a 04 de julho, dia da independência e para os nossos amigos norte da fronteira era Canada Day, 01 de julho. Foi ótimo clima para scooting na Virgínia, entre as grandes tempestades, mas a vantagem é o calor tem sido moderado um pouco pelas nuvens e chuva. Último episódio eu falei sobre lojas scooter em Denver e gostaria de pedir desculpas aos desportos motorizados ERICO. Por alguma razão eu continuo a eles como Enrico, talvez porque o que soa muito mais italiano. Esta semana vou falar um número posts diferentes e apresentar tudo o que os meninos fã Lambretta de um livro recém-lançado de publicar Veloce.

Mostrar Notas: Foi somente alguns dias desde que voltei de uma visita Denver, possivelmente uma das melhores cidades em scooter os E.U.. Apesar de ter sido uma viagem rápida, fiz parte da tarde no sábado, para visitar três das lojas da cidade é o melhor scooter. Cada um tem uma sensação bem diferente e ele levou minha caneta para algumas observações sobre a cena scooter

Mostrar Notas: estou de volta a partir do noroeste do Pacífico com a minha mãe no reboque e fomos aproveitando o clima Richmond onde tem encrespados facilmente nos anos 90 quase todos os dias desta semana. Tenho aviso de que cada vez que eu há outra scooter na estrada e muitos deles parecem ser os Kymcos e Genuine buddys. Estou recebendo mais e-mails de ouvintes que estão newby scooterist olhando para comprar seu primeiro scooters. Alix do passeio Scooter Paz e eu fui tentando se conectar. No mês passado ela fez seu caminho para fora da costa oeste e eu segui-la para baixo em San Fransico, onde foi se encontrar com amigos e participar de um comício local.

Mostrar notas: Eu tenho dúvidas para a semana passada o que dizer sobre Vespadition. Sabendo que não é, por vezes é difícil traçar a linha entre o que é verdadeiro eo que não é, especialmente na internet, eu tenho brincado com a não dizer nada ou informar sobre tudo que está sendo dito, mas decidi que eu prefiro não fazer nenhum, e, em vez falar sobre a comunidade de scooter. Eu também decidiu que existem muitas outras coisas mais interessantes acontecendo, para que você também vai ouvir falar de Steve Guzman, esporte motor LS e vários outros quitutes da scooter mundo blogging.

Mostrar Notas: Se você tem vindo a seguir o meu blog sabe que eu tive poucas interrupções na minha rotina normal. O primeiro incluiu várias viagens para fora da cidade que me levou para o Virginia Beach. A desvantagem foi que eu fiquei doente e ele teve uma semana para me receber de volta até a velocidade. Na época, todos os seus e-mails, comentários e notícias scooter foi fazer backup e backup. Portanto, esta noite eu vou tentar fazer algumas capturas e lá está a colocar em catchup. Digo-te mais notícias sobre scooter dos tubos de internet e conversar um pouco mais sobre meus planos para Junho, que incluem uma viagem de volta ao estado de Washington e esperamos que algumas aventuras loja nova scooter. Música desta vez é de Sean Costello

Mostrar Notas: Como é habitual, esta foi uma semana de jogar catch up de ter passado vários dias na semana passada e no fim de semana em Nova York. Como eu mencionei no último show, que valeu a pena. Além disso, este é verdadeiramente o tempo de primavera aqui na Virgínia e eu fui montando minha scooters fora qualquer chance que eu tenho. Você deve ter notado em 2 tempos buzz e outros sites de blog, que Alice deixou Richmond nesta sexta-feira passada para começar a sua odisseia de três meses, cerca de scooting os E.U.. Eu fiz uma pequena entrevista com ela para baixo em Scoot Richmond na sexta-feira

Mostrar Notas: Eu estou de volta de Nova York, onde eu fui ao meu Podcamp segundo. Como no ano passado, foi uma grande oportunidade para conhecer podcasters que eu tenho estado a ouvir e ter novas idéias para manter o show novo. Eu pensei que um pouco profética, que na minha primeira manhã em NY, eu sai do hotel e depois de pegar uma xícara de café, eu corro em uma bela negra Vespa LX 150, juntamente com várias outras scooters menor. Isso me fez pensar sobre como os scooters são cada vez mais comum e talvez este podcast scooter tem alguma relevância.

SHOWNOTES: Primavera continua a florescer aqui em Richmond e isso significa que ambos os dias quentes e frios. Eu sinto pesaroso para os nossos amigos do norte que por esta altura deve estar rezando para a primavera chegar. Marcel e eu vou ser a posição mais ao sul esta semana para passar uns dias em Key West, Florida, tendo ao sol e, geralmente, lounging ao redor. Neste show eu vou lhe dizer mais sobre a viagem, sobre meus planos para todas as peças que tenho vindo a recolher e analisar um dos poucos blogs desta semana scooter.

SHOW NOTAS: Tem sido uma semana linda para scooting aqui em Richmond com 70 e 80 graus-dias. Além disso, eu comecei finalmente a uma reunião do clube Seven Hills scooter e ouvido sobre o local Dogwood Delirium Rally. Mas o ponto alto da minha semana estava falando com Bryan Alix de Charlottesville, que está planejando sair na segunda metade de seu trajeto PEACE em poucas semanas. Ela estará cobrindo 20 mil e tem muito a dizer sobre isso, além de todos os tipos de outras coisas etéreas e scooter relacionados.

SHOWNOTES: Na semana passada, quando eu coloquei o link para Vespadition, notei que várias das mensagens que incluíam links para Peter Moore e Christian Bauer websites tinha caído a primeira página do site. Uma maneira de consertar isso é aumentar o número de mensagens que aparecem, mas a página começa a ser muito longo e que quer ter para rolar e rolar para encontrar apenas um link. Então eu fui pensando em mudar o formato do site e pretende manter uma ligação de imagem para os meus convidados mais recente no topo da página.
Outra questão que podcasters website pragas é a questão da monetização. Para o povo comum, isto significa "Como vai você pagar o custo da largura de banda." Mas antes de cabeça fora neste ou em qualquer outra direção, eu quero saber o que você pensa. Você está interessado neste tipo do material, você sabe t-shirts, botões e outros crap SCTRCST bom. Eu odiaria fazer qualquer coisa para fazê-lo, o meu público, sinto como se eu fosse apenas lenocínio de tostões.

SHOWNOTES: Peter "Matua" de talkes Vespadition sobre seus planos de viagem de ferro traseiro. Se você não ouve falar o rapaz fazer o passeio de 30 mil milhas, ouça o podcast. Além disso, não tenho tido tempo para sair e montar minha nova Vespa GTS e ainda manter-se com algum do mundo blog na Internet. Acho que isso significa que minha vida se acalmou um pouco, o trabalho se tornou mais gerenciável e eu ainda tenho mais tempo para gastar em casa, na garagem e na frente do computador.

SHOWNOTES: Eu estive pensando que os dois últimos episódios levantou a barra para este show. Como posso eu falar com o curso superior Vespa autor Peter Moore e follow-up, fazendo uma chamada de conferência com Philippine Vespa bloggers Bimbo Isidro e João Rana. Eu coloquei um pouco para trás como o meu ritual de fim de semana habitual de leitura, escrita e gravação tomou um banco traseiro para lounging, assistindo ao canal de velocidade e ajustes na garagem. Levei tempo para instalar uma entrada de ar M7 nova no Mini Cooper S, o que lhe dá mais potência e um som alto e até mesmo ganhando encontrou tempo para caçar uma Vespa Craig's List. Confira a nova história Scooter sobre este episódio.

SHOWNOTES: I hope you got a chance to listen to last week's episode. Vespa travel author Peter Moore and I spoke about traveling, scooters and the process of writing, If you missed it I highly recommend that you go back and listen. Once again, this week I have some old friends back. I spoke with both Bimbo Isidro and John Rana, Vespa bloggers from the Philippines. The conference type call was a opportunity to catch up with both Bimbo and John and talk about what has been happening on a totally different front in the scooting world.

SHOWNOTES: This is episode 50. Yes, that is the famous Vespa travel author Peter Moore. Several weeks ago he talked with me from London. Although it seems unlikely, especially if you listen to the scooter podcast, you may have never heard of Peter. On his website you will find you have been missing one of the best literary travel experiences and you can also get a scooter fix. You have missed No Shitting in the Toilet, The Wrong Way Home, for those the Vespa fans Vroom with a View. Peter is an humorous Australian who has a great story to tell about growing up infatuated with the scooters and if you are at all like me, you will be fascinated with his how he was able to lived out his dream of riding about and around Italy for months on a Vespa.

SHOWNOTES: It is hard to believe, another milestone. It was just a few weeks ago I spoke about having started scootercast a year earlier. Now, I am on the verge of the 50th episode. In this show I am going to talk more about what is in store for that show, about some new riding gear and also about the developments with my blown Vespa Sprint.

Mostrar notas: Se você tem estado a ouvir o programa por qualquer período de tempo, você me ouviu falar sobre meus três belezas Vespa. A primeira é uma P200e 1981 com um carro. Ele ainda é meu passeio principal e é sempre um coletor do olho, porque tem um sidecar Califórnia. Outro é o meu classic 1965 Vespa 180ss, uma beleza Vermelha italiana que eu cuide, que dorme sob um cobertor, aquele que recebe um banho de esponja e sabão suave, nunca o spray direto da mangueira. Então há um pouco de meu 67 150 Sprint, que finalmente eu vou dizer, eu monto o mijo dela. Tenho certeza que você sabe a técnica de andar, manivela é aberta e veja se você pode obter apenas a alguns quilômetros a mais por hora fora dela. Apesar de eu ter mencionado isso de passagem, algumas vezes, eu não tenho tentado trazer muita atenção para o fato de que a minha Sprint é um desses ... sim, você sabe o que eu quero dizer, ouso mesmo dizer? A importação vietnamita. Ela veio para este país como refugiado há quase 10 anos, justamente quando as primeiras bicicletas foram fazendo o seu caminho do exterior. Não foi fácil fazer com que ela passar na alfândega, mas ela fez seu caminho para Denver e viveu por um tempo no Texas comigo, até que eu trouxe para a costa leste. Ela é um longo caminho de casa.

Shownotes: Eu não sei o que mais posso pedir, era quase setenta graus aqui hoje. Tendo trabalhado tanto em janeiro, eu tive uma tarde agradável de andar planejado. Mas, como você poderia esperar, o trabalho de novo, interferiu com recreação e passei a tarde no edifício da Virginia legislativas, ouvindo os grandes perucas discutem sobre dinheiro. Mas, novamente, como é o negócio do povo e eu fiz sinal para este show.
O que realmente me chegado até sensacionalistas, foi outro fim de semana Virginia bonito. Foi nos anos sessenta e apenas para a direita um pouco doloroso no meu scooters e parte das despesas de domingo, andando fora do país. Você pode não lembrar, mas eu vivo em Richmond, uma pequena cidade na esperança de enganar toda a gente a pensar que é uma grande cidade. A verdade é, que funcionam como qualquer outra cidade pequena nos Estados Unidos. Abundância de esperanças e sonhos misturados com muita tradição do sul, cidade pequena insignificância política e acesso fácil a algumas das mais belas paisagens nos Estados Unidos.

SHOWNOTES: You may not know that this is year to the day that I launch the Scootercast web site and posted the first podcast. It is an amazing milestone given that I always wonder if I can keep it going beyond the next few months. Much of the shows success and my persistence has to do with you the audience who have given me lots of encouragement and direction. Along with “don't do that ?, you have suggested everything from audio improvements to topics like long distance riding, purchasing a scooter, winter riding, rallies and of course music. It seems you either like the music or don't, everyone has an opinion. So this is the point at which I must pause and thank a few supporters. First to thanks Chelsea over at ScootRichmond. Chelsea was the first person to submit to the rigor of my amateur questions along with my bumbling remote recording skills. She has continued to be a supporter of the show along with Dave Munn and all the folks at ScootRichmond. Second, thanks to Steve Williams from Scooter in the Sticks. Steve has also been on the show and has been for me and many other bloggers, a great literary and content inspiration. Over the past year I have spoke to or exchanged emails with dozens of scooter bloggers, who all point to Steve as an influencing factor in their own development. He is both a gracious individual and a talented writer.

SHOWNOTES: Steve Guzman from the Scooter Scoop sounds over the moon about his new job with Italjet. It also seems that the rush of preparing for an upcoming Indianapolis Dealer Expo next month, making it tough to track him down for a full length interview. He has assured me that we will talk and at that point we'll hear a whole lot more about what the LS Motorsports and Diamo. The month of January is always a non-stop marathon for me. Here in Virginia, it the time the legislature is in session and does it's work. Like most of you, I have my own escapes and one of those rejuvenating activities is scooting. But since bragging last week about our balmy weather, the weather gods have struck back with a vengeance. Today it is cold, in the 20's, so no riding for me. I have done a little investigating into the problems I am having with my Vespa Sprint and will need to deliver it to Scoot Richmond for some serious repair.

SHOWNOTES: Houve um grande desenvolvimento no mundo blogging do scooter. Muitos de vocês podem saber que um dos melhores blogs scooter de notícias e informações é Steve Guzman's The Scoop Scooter. Sempre de alta qualidade no blog, repleto de imagens excelente, feito com um fantástico senso de humor, tanto sobre scooting e sobre aqueles de nós que às vezes tomam a sério os nossos próprios. Em um post na quinta-feira 10 de janeiro de 2008 Steve anunciou que, como se naquele momento ele era "o ponto oficial de contato para Italjet E.U.A.? Ele passou a dizer que "LS Motorsports me trouxe a bordo para gerenciar todos os aspectos da Italjet Vendas e Marketing." o que provavelmente é uma coisa boa, em que, quando eu olhei para o LS site de notícias, o último post foi 08 de setembro de 2007. Aparentemente Steve estará trabalhando estreitamente Italjet Moto (Bologna, Itália) para trazer o Dragster Italjet, bem como o Torpedo, o IT50 volta ao mercado E.U.. Nós todos Steve felicitar e desejar-lhe boa sorte.

SHOWNOTES: Eu acho que a maioria de vocês já viram a Vespa que eu uso para o meu logo Podcast. É um vermelho 1967 Vespa 180ss que voltei em 1998, quando eu era relativamente nova scooting. No verão de 1998 eu comecei a correr à procura de um novo e 180ss ou a GS manteve a subir, mas como eu leio mais eu fui atraído para o estilo do 180, a grande moldura e farol trapezoidal incomum. Para fazer um short longo da história, chegou uma caixa de doze semanas depois de Desempenho Scooters ea scooter foi ainda mais bonito do que eu esperava. Agora alguns de vocês que estiveram ao redor por um tempo pode estar pensando, Performance Scooters, isso soa familiar, mas não há outra história sobre eles? Performance entrou em falência em 08 de novembro de 2000. Eu apenas tive sorte com a minha compra na web, mas sinceramente não faria isso novamente. Pense nisso, eu plunked para baixo muito dinheiro para uma scooter invisíveis de alguém que eu não sabia. Porque não basta pedir a alguém um soco na cara e tomar o seu dinheiro?

SHOWNOTES: Para aqueles de vocês que têm a ver você provavelmente pode dizer, eu fui andando às voltas com o formato do site esta semana. Isso deve explicar porque ele vem mudando, por vezes, minuto a minuto. Eu acho que existe uma maneira de fazer isso fora de toda a linha, em seguida, atualizar o site, mas eu ainda não descobri como fazê-lo dessa forma ainda. When I first built the site I set it up to work best in a Firefox browser, the one that I migrated to several years ago. The site seemed to display fine in the Mac Safari browser, but did funny things in Internet Explorer, like throw the sidebar lists to the bottom of the page. Hopefully those of you using Explorer will find this has been fixed. One of the new features on the SCTRCST website is a new page that includes a photo album. I haven't settled on everything I plan on including, but started by posting some of my pictures from Amerivespa 2007, photos of some of the scooter shops I have been to, photos from our trips to Italy and of course, I had to include a variety of my own family and scooter pictures. If you were listening last week, you know we didn't have time to get to Chelsea, at ScootRichmond www.scootrichmond.com She has graciously volunteered to supplement my meager technical expertise and this week is going to answer a listener's question about adding ground effects lighting to his classic scooter.

SHOWNOTES: It's been another long work week which took me to Baltimore and Washington DC, but as usual, the best part was coming home and settling back into my routine. Marcel is away in Denver this weekend, so I have spent some extra time putting together a special show. I want to say thank you for all the email you have been sending and if I haven't gotten back to you yet, please be patient, I will answer you. I have been emailing probably one of the best traveled scooterist here in the United States, after having met him here in Richmond at the Modern Vespa Workshop. Any of you who belong to the Modern Vespa Forum know him as Bobo. He is Mark Bobotek a veteran of the Cannonball scooter runs and frequent rally attendee. I spoke with him about a week ago, just as one of the first snow was making it's way into the Washington Baltimore area. As you might expect, he had just returned from the west coast where he did a LA to Tucson to Nogales scooter ride and was settling back into being at home with his family. Check out some of the subjects we talk about, Bobos website, the Cannonball Run website and the Alaska Bike Run. Thanks to everyone who entered the drawing to win one Scooterist a way of life by Christian Bauer. I have eight consultation prizes in addition to the DVD and will be email all of you to get your shipping address so I can get those out this week. One of the DVDs goes to Melvin. The other DVD goes to Brian seven more lucky individuals will get a specially designed scootercast t-shirt, just right for wearing to any rally.

SHOWNOTES: I want to remind you that you only have a few days to get a 20% discount on Christian Bauer's Scooterist DVD and make sure you email me for your chance to win one of two free DVDs I will be giving away on the December 16th show.. Mention you want me to through your name in the hat for the drawing. You can also call the voice mail line at 206-888-6174 On the last show I talked allot about the scooter groups and forums on the web. As a source of information they are fantastic and if you follow them with any regularity you start to get to know the people posting. I mentioned that they operate much like a social community and as a result, you hear about all kinds of things. This past week some of the posts referred to past scooter accidents and injuries and I began to think back to a post by Steve Williams that I had breezed over. Steve had made a reference to how pilots dont talk about crashes and I thought about how I have never really talked about scooters and risk and what I think about every time I take off out of the garage. So here it is.

SHOWNOTES: I have been very busy I was at work, but more to the point I have had one of those weeks where I ask myself, do these people really think I am that smart? You know what I mean, that little nagging voice that you have in the back of your head that says, “if everyone knew how really stupid I was I would be fired on the spot. I do know that this is my own little nagging insecurities, but indulge me for a minute. After much heartache I have learned that this is a useful little quirk to have, because it keeps me honest, both with myself and with others and also has helped me from getting to far out on a limb numerous times. What the hell does this have to do with scooters? It is related to the idea of making more scooter connections so you don't get out there and on the web it means getting into groups and forums.

SHOWNOTES: What a great week. Here in the US it is thanksgiving weekend. That means Marcel has been here in Richmond and I have had four days off from work. There has been plenty of time for hanging out, visiting friends and puttering around in the garage and I want to tell you about what I have been doing with my Vespa Sprint. Those of you who have been following my blog, know that I have been trying to become more social, not always one of my personal strengths. So I have joined Facebook and Myspace and have been shooting out invitations left and right to anyone who posts themselves with their scooter in their profile. In doing this I happen to stumble upon Christian Bauer at scooterfilm.com.

SHOWNOTES: I have to say that it was sad to leave Denver last week, but was relieved to finally get back to Richmond. The weather has turned cold here, well for those of you who live up north, you would probably say it has gotten cooler here. Despite this, I was so excited with the plug DB gave me on White Roof Radio, I pulled out the P200e and snaped a boat load of pictures of it with our Mini-Cooper S. When I looked at them later in preparing to pick one for posting I was impressed with what a natural pair they make. Both are small, efficient modes of transportation, with a built-in fun factor that is out of this world. The Mini gives you that wild adolescent feeling of driving your friend's go-cart around the neighborhood at top speed, hoping your parents wouldn't find out that you were driving in the street. It is unnerving how quickly a Cooper S, which is the supercharged Mini, can go from 35 mph to 75 mph before you know it. I have the same exciting experience riding my scooters. Although they top out well below 70, when I am riding the winding roads around the James river, 35 feels like 70 and with every turn the smile on my face gets bigger and bigger. For those of you who are fans of all things small and quick I will put a link to Mini's latest creation. It is called the Mini Clubman, a longer, wagon type mini with the same built in fun factor. It's not due out until next year, but the web has lots of leaked and official

SHOWNOTES: The biggest news of the week has been starting to look for another scooter. As you might expect I have gotten a lot of suggestions to look into maxi scooters as well as some of the new offerings by Genuine. I must say that I am trying to keep an open mind, although I am already drawn to the new Vespas and stopped in Charlottesville this past week to look at a used GTS. Several of you have suggested that I keep an eye out on Craig's list, which around here means checking Richmond, C-ville and metro DC. So far there have been al lot of 50cc bikes. My guess is that this has to do with a phenomenon that is widely known, that many people get a scooter not realizing what is involved in riding, then decide to dump it 500 miles later, or they get something like a 50cc bike and realize it is too small and doesn't fit their needs.

SHOWNOTES: I have been way over busy the past couple of weeks, but this also means that I have been traveling a bit and this translates into time in the car when I can catch up on listening to podcasts. I haven't talked much about other podcasts I listen to, but I have gotten a few emails asking me about how I got into podcasting. My first podcast was an automotive podcast called Whiteroof Radio. It is a podcast where three guys talk about the new BMW Mini Coopers. I have tried a number of other automotive podcasts, but most don't hold my interest, either because they are about things I am not interested in or to be honest, they are too technical for me.

SHOWNOTES: I spoke with Steve Williams again this week. It sounds like the weather is turning cold up in Pennsylvania. I don't know what the weather has been like in your area. but up until the past few days it has been great riding weather here in Virginia, but then again, the fall is almost always nice here, with warm days and mild nights. It go me thinking about what it might be like in other parts of the northern untied States and Canada, so I decided to call our blogging friend Steve Williams. You may remember him from a number of months ago when we talked on this show about his blog, Scooter in the Sticks.

SHOWNOTES: This weekend I have spent most of my time at the East Coast Modern Vespa Workshop here in Richmond. I have made a few new scooter friends and developed a whole new perspective on the modern Vespa scooters. Have you ever heard of Curt, Lucky, Greasy or Vickie? Maybe not, but you probably have heard about the Modern Vespa Website, especially if you own one of the new Vespasian. I have been an occasional lurker on the site for the past few months, but have to admit that being a classic Vespa owner; I had a hard time finding many posts that I was interested in.

Shownotes What a week. I have been back and forth across Virginia, Up late, helping Marcel pack the car to leave for Denver and Sunday I hopped out of bed at 4 in the morning to catch an early flight to Colorado to meet Marcel and get our town home setup so she can work either from Denver or Richmond. This may all sound like a strange way to live but our lives and our work have been this way for quite a few years now. We have found ourselves reflecting on what an unconventional life we have had, living in Colorado Texas Virginia and Ohio. If not for this strange lifestyle I probably would have never started into scooting, which I picked up as a convenient transport when we were in San Antonio and we would never have had the opportunity to travel and meet so many of our relatives in Italy. On this show I would like to invite you to travel with me to southeast Asia and listen to another scooter enthusiast from around the world. Esta semana passada tive o privilégio de falar a Bimbo Isidro de Manila. You may not know him by name, but you probably have heard for his website Vespinoy. We spent some time talking last week about scootering in his area his other websites and how he is helping to bring together the scooter community in that part of the world.

SHOWNOTES: If you have been following the shows you know that Marcel has moved back to Richmond from Cincinnati. My first crisis is figuring out how to make from for her Mini Cooper in the garage. Of course I still need to be able to get to my scooters, so I have decided to mothball one of the cars in the back of the garage and keep all the scoot paraphernalia out front. We have a couple of scooter events coming up in Richmond, one of them being the fall ride sponsored by Seven Hills Scooter club, so I dont want to start putting things away for the winter yet. Scoot Richmond is also sponsoring a mechanics workshop in November, so there is allot to look forward to in the next few months.

SHOWNOTES: We have been making plans for Marcel starting her new consulting job. this has meant getting ready to move everything back from Cincinnati to Richmond and figuring out how to cram two homes into one. For all of you geekaholics out there, I have gone from running everything through my old keyboard preamp to a Mackie Onyx firewire setup. Hopefully it will mean cleaner sound. Drop me a note and let me know if you think it makes a difference. We are both looking forward to this new adventure in her work, especially getting the opportunity to be in Denver more. I think Cincinnati has been a good layover for her, on her career track. Like one of my friends said, it's good to know what your good at, but better to know what your not good at.

Show notes: It's been another busy week, along with my regular job and all the meetings I go to, I have been spend most of my time at home setting up a myspace page. After a number of inquiries about “do you have a myspace page?” I caved and sat down to do some work on it. Look for it here. I guess I had this idea that myspace was about all these single (or maybe married acting single) people trying to hit on each other. But now I understand. In the few short days that my page has been up, I have gotten dozens of contacts from people asking about the show and maybe more important to me, I have had the biggest week of downloads ever.

SHOWNOTES: This show is chock full of information and news. I was fortunate to spend time yesterday speaking with Dave Dixon, in Vancouver, British Columbia about his blog Big Guy Small Scooter (he rides a Vespa LX50). In an email Errol from Toronto sent a link to the latest update on Hayden Neale of Jacksoul. After his scooter crash he is still in critical condition, but starting to respond to doctors and treatment, which sounds like good news. Most of this show is the interview I did yesterday with Dave Dixon from Big Guy Small Scooter another talented blogger.

SHOWNOTES: Call the voice mail line at 206-888-6174 and tell me what you think of the show or let me know what kind of scooting activities are going on in your area. I have been looking to try to find out how Canadian Hayden Neale from Jacksoul is doing, but there hasn't been much in the news about him and his website has not been updated. Anybody out there heard anything? Give me a call.

SHOWNOTES: Just a quick reminder, I now have a voice mail number you can call from your phone 206-888-6174. It is listed at the top of the web page and should scroll in the podcast title for those of you using an ipod. The POR-15 product for reconditioning my 180ss tank came this week. Take my suggestion and just order it from the company website, it was here in three days. If you are planning this project, make sure you have time to complete the whole thing, that way there is less likelihood of any flash rusting, before you can get the tank coated. Just so you know, you will not find that everyone agrees with coating a tank. I think this comes from using inferior product and having the tank lining deteriorate over time.

Enjoy the music I have been playing on the first twenty-five podcasts without me talking over the great tunes. Here are some of my favorites from the Podsafe Music Network.

SHOWNOTES: There have been some website hiccups this week, this time not my fault. Libsyn hosting went down for several days last week and took with them all the mp3 files. Looks like all is OK today. Crystal Water's ride to Vermont. Was cut short last week about 150 mile past Scranton. The story is in the Times Argus newspaper from Montpelier, Vermont. Her boyfriend Dwayne McCullough drove from Maryland the other to pick her and her Vespa scooter up and get her to Randolph for the ride yesterday. I gave up on the website I ordered the POR-15 products for reconditioning my 180ss tank and went to the POR-15 website and reordered this past week. Every time I walk out to the garage I am reminded of the last tank I did, spilled a little coating on the floor and it's never coming off.

SHOWNOTES: New voice mail number you can call from your phone 206-888-6174. Scoot Richmond had it's grand reopening this weekend including a Friday night scoot-in movie Empire Records. and a Saturday open house. I took the opportunity to speak again with Chelsea and Dave Munn and found out that they are expanding and moving in the direction of becoming a full service scooter shop along with continuing their web-based mail order business. Follow up to last week's note about Hayden Neale from Jacksoul. Seems that everyone has been quiet about his condition, but the Toronto Star reports that he is in a coma, is in critical, but stable condition and has not regained consciousness. Our thoughts go out to he and his family, hoping that he will be fine.

SHOWNOTES: Scoot News, Here is the link to Haydain Neale article about his accident. Here is a link to Jacksoul's website and music. Crystal Water continues to plan for her Vermont ride, leaves August 25. Visit her website and throw some support her way. Positano Italy is a paridise, but expensive

What is interesting is that many of you listen to the show right on your computer. So there are many more choices now, I hope it makes it easier.

SHOWNOTES – I have had allot going on this week and in this Podcast I talk about that and The Toronto Moto Scooter Clubs Twisted Wheel Scooter Rally.

SHOWNOTES: Sorry to have missed putting out a show last week. I usually have everything ready to go by Sunday evening, but last week I was still in Seattle. As I sat in the airport, I couldn't help but think about the day, which included a rally ride from downtown Seattle to Vashon Island, a beautiful ferry ride and an outdoor barbeque. Look for picture galleries of Amerivespa events as posted on 2strokebuzz.

SHOWNOTES: Thanks for joining me. I invite you to send me email at sctrcst@gmail.com. I am leaving in the middle of the night on Tuesday to travel out to the west coast again.

I hope to speak with all the bloggers who are planning to go, from blogs like Little Billys Scooter Tales, Scootin Old School, Big Guy Small Scooter, 2strokebuzz, Honky Tonk Dragon and any others who show up. Podcasters have a whole network of social links that connect us to each other.

SHOWNOTES: Ciao, Its been a beautiful week here in Richmond. I have been out riding several times and even got to try out my new full-face helmet. My thought, why didnt I get one sooner? I am still waiting for the rest of my safety gear, but for now, I am definitely recommending the full-face helmet. This Podcast features the music of Bombskare with World Turned Upside Down from the Podsafe Music Network.

SHOWNOTES – Ciao, come va? You too can be a part of the show. I invite you to send me email at sctrcst@gmail.com Think about subscribing for free through itunes to another podcatcher. I a have been spending more time surfing the web in search of riding gear. It started with all the blogging that has been going on about helmets and relating several horror stories of low speed crashes and my perusing the numerous pictures of bruised up legs and arms. The last straw was seeing pictures of the bruises and cuts, along with a beautiful white Vespa GT smashed when a car turned in front of a fellow scooterist and she was wearing gear.

SHOWNOTES – This week I have gone from Seattle to Denver to Richmond, which means that I am still blogging and producing SCTRCST on my laptop, with a radio shack mic held together with wire and chewing gum. Along with meeting Orin ONeil of Scootin Old Skool this past week, I have been scouting out the Denver scoot shops and have been amazed by the scooter growth in the this city. Denver is where I first got the scooter bug about 10 years ago.

SHOWNOTES: Remember that you too can be a part of the show. I have ended up in my home town of Port Angeles, WA. I have had an opportunity to speak with several bloggers on this trip, one of which lives right here in Port Angeles, Bill Sommers, writer of Little Billys Scooter Tales.
