Default Patch wearing scooter rider

This one caught me a little off guard. Well alot actually. I paseed an older guy today who was wearing a leather vest with a club patch (not a three piece) riding a Yamaha scooter with temp tags. I didn't stare. I didn't point and laugh. I didn't do anything except roll on and wonder. I guess there is a first time for everything.

I've seen it. A couple of things:

1.) there are scooter clubs, although I've typically seen them associated with more vintage scooters.
2.) maybe this guy happened to have a scooter and a "real" motorcycle

There's a Vespa dealer close to me. Every Saturday am they have a "Group Ride" and down the road they cruise, some in leathers with a club patch (not 3 piece).

Quite the sight.

At least they're riding and having a good time.

Riding a scooter is like nailing a fat chick, it's fun as hell but you don't what your freinds to see
