Help make this a good year by voting. It is your chance to the the cycling world what you think.
I think this this is a good idea, and really the only way that the riding public has to let the manufactures know how we feel.

Joined a scooter club.
The area in which I live has no scooter clubs, so when Gary formed The Easy Peasy Scooter Posse I knew I wanted to join.
"EPSP was started by myself last year. It was just an idea that's grown into a club. The idea was to start a group that isn't all Vespa or all Honda or all modern or all vintage. I wanted to start a club whose members appreciated all makes and models of scooters without any prejudices. I see so many groups out there that lean this way and that way and they end up excluding people. So, I wanted to start a club that states from the outset that all scooters are accepted and appreciated, without question. Even if you have a Vietnamese restored scoot, we still love you. I created a patch for our club and had a limited run of them produced. The patch is a three-inch diameter patch and is the same as my avatar. I've been assigning membership numbers to whoever buys a patch at five bucks each. I had just 50 patches made and so the cost, including set-up fees runs me very close to breaking even. If you want to be a member, PM me your address and I'll send you one, along with the EPSP Mission Statement, and your EPSP number. I'll eat the postage. We have 23 members thus far, from California, Minnesota, Ohio, and W. Virginia. I just wanted to extend an invitation to those who might want to be part of the posse. The mission statement is this; Easy Peasey Scooter Posse What it means to be a member; We have fun We enjoy all types of scooters without regard to manufacturer We respect one another We help each other when needed We don’t differentiate between vintage or modern No dues No meetings No crybabies." The founder Gary Didler wanted a club where all would feel welcome, and in his statement makes that appearant.
That was from about a year ago now there are 57 members from 16 different states. I would call that a nation wide club.
This is not a one scooters only club, we have members that ride Veapas, Yamahas, Hondas, Kymcos, and several others, we also range from 50 cc to 400 cc. The one thing we all have in common is our love for scooters and riding them.
Its nice to have a group that you can talk to about your scooter and its problems, or get some information about riding gear, or any other topic you can think of.
Here is a shortcut to the EPSP fourm http://epsp.us/index.php so come by and take a look.

Scooter Skirt.
I recently acquired a scooter skirt, it is worn around your waist and has a place for your knees to go when seated in the riding position. There is also a pocket on the left side. The pocket is about 9 inches and is a usable size.
I got this scooter skirt to replace my rain pants which take several minutes to put on. The skirt is fast to put on, just swing it around your waist and fasten the d ring connector and it is on.
Not only is it water proof { so far }. The rain that I have tried it in has been lite to moderate. It has kept me dry and warm. AS for warm it is quilted and very wind proof.
Much of my commute is at night and in the upper 20's to low 40's this time of year, and the skirt dose plenty of wind blockage keeping my leg comfortable.
I would give this item 5 stars for the quality of its build, ease of use, comfort, and durability which I think by looking at it will be great.
Little features that I like are the pocket as mentioned before and the edging is a reflective material.
