Episode 35 - Scooter Blogs and a New Scoot (206-888-6174)

SHOWNOTES: I have been way over busy the past couple of weeks, but
this also means that I have been traveling a bit and this
translates into time in the car when I can catch up on listening to
podcasts. I haven't talked much about other podcasts I listen to,
but I have gotten a few emails asking me about how I got into
podcasting. My first podcast was an automotive podcast called
Whiteroof Radio. It is a podcast where three guys talk about the
new BMW Mini Coopers. I have tried a number of other automotive
podcasts, but most don't hold my interest, either because they are
about things I am not interested in or to be honest, they are too
technical for me. There aren't many other scooter podcasts out
there, but I want to suggest you check into one called Just Gotta
Scoot. David Harrington is a scooterist up in Minnesota that has a
number of scooters and probably as many different business
interests. You can find out more about all this at his website Just
Gotta Scoot,.Dave may not be everyone's picture of the typical
scooter fanatic, but his last show with Phil McCaleb from Genuine
Scooters or you may know him as the owner of Scooter Works of
Chicago was great! Regardless of what you think of Phil or
Scooterworks, his story about creating the Genuine Scooter company
and their network of dealers is really interesting. This week I got
an unsolicited suggestion from Marcel that I consider getting
another scooter. Is she the perfect wife or what? But I think it
really is more that over these many years we have developed a
regard for each other that is unique. I use to worry about every
penny we spent, you could even say, there was a time when I was the
naysayer of doom. But then I started to realize that even if things
did follow the path I had marked out they always seemed to turn out
OK. So as of today, I am officially research my next scooter, and
will share that experience with you over the next few episodes.
Hopefully it will be a little less impulsive that some of my other
automotive purchases and I will try to impart some of my success
and failure as I go along
