MANY MANY non-mod/normal people here in SF that ride Vespas (and sometimes
Lambrettas) as commuter vehicles on a daily basis. They don't know (or care)
about
mod stuff. Been to a rally lately? It's MUCH different than 10-15 years ago.
Hardly a mod or skin in sight. That used to be the entire crowd! Now it's
been taken
over by the average Johnny goofball and the rallies have suffered as a
result. >>
This is the very reason I dont come out to rallys anymore. There used to be
a group of skins I only kept in touch with through the rallys. I would see
them at every Kings Classic, Moto Italia, etc., but we all lost touch, and I
stopped seeing them at rallys a few years ago. Kind of sad, but I havent
been to a rally in a long time. I live in Stockton, and Scooters arent seen
by people as a reasonable mode of transport like they are in the city. My
students dont understand, and its difficult to explain to them. I sometimes
with I lived in the city, I would ride everyday.
