Default New Years Resolution...

How about we refrain from using the term...scoot or scooter when referring to a Harley. Isn't this a Harley forum, not a Vespa forum ? Happy New Year !!

My resolution is to buy another scooter (still 2009) this year. Something old that hasn't been loved enough.

Many years ago I made a New Years Resolution to "Never make another New Years Resolution". Have not broken that one yet and never intend to.

I will not call my sled a scooter any more,............... unless I forget. I usually call them the Ultra or Sporty anyway though, so it's really no big deal for me.

I have been guilty,on occasion, of calling my bike that term more suited to a two wheeled Italian hairdyer. I must be slowly turning into a yank!
