The first 100 miles: Etiquette

Making fun of scooters is unnecessary. The long rival between Rockers and Mods may be in resurgence judging by the amount of scooters I see on the hill. Taking the ferry everyday gives me at least one chance to mingle with other riders as we wait to load. Sometimes the scooters are in equal numbers on the boat and in some areas of the city greatly outnumber us. Scooters are what they are. While I won’t pass up the opportunity to snicker at the scooterist wearing thousands of dollars worth of cafe racing style riding gear I won’t think myself the better just because of the differences in what we ride. That being said I will segway with an immediate contradiction…
3 out of 4 Ducati riders annoy me. They bother me so much that I won’t even go into it. Nothing productive can come from it. I think there are all to many of them who just buy the brand because they think, hmm thats an expensive bike…
