Last year as the gas prices were steadily increased to the summer high point of $4.00/gallon, Sondra and I purchased a pair of scooters, so we could run around on the weekends and take some burden off our wallets. I’m self-employed so just needed something simple to run down to the coffee shop and work for the day. Last year we also joined the local Austin Scooter Club. Maybe another victim of the economy of maybe just wanting more control over the actual site, Mary and the gang have transitioned the group over to self-hosted WordPress site. Announcing the brand new Austin Scooter Club baby. It looks really good and I’m ready to help fill it up with links and other scooter information I’ve gathered over the last year. Not happy about using the choice of phpBB forum. Seemed more functional to use Google Groups like other groups.

Also, if you’re a scooter owner and living in the general Austin area don’t forget to register for the First Full of Scooters Rally coming up May 1st.
