Scooter 201

I won't hate or discriminate but from now on I will only be using the Yamaha Vino 125 as the scoot of reference in class. Sorry to those of you out there who have something other than a Vino, but I won't have enough time in the day to be a soldier of the slab if I have to refer to all different types of scoots.

LEARNING HOW TO ROLL ON 2

So, you have purchased your scoot or maybe just got your hands on one somehow someway. The first thing you need to do is learn how to ride it. It's really not that hard. If you can ride a bike, you can ride a scoot. The key to riding a scoot is to be confident. You must feel like you own the road. That is something you will learn in time as well while you work your way up the ranks in the Serpents. Getting back to rolling on 2. You need to make sure you do things like be safe and awesome at the same time. Another recommendation I have is to go take a motorcycle safety course. I don't think there is a scooter safety course out there just yet, but we might have to work on that. Below I am going to post a few tips that I have found to be priceless for being a better scooterist.

DO MAD SPEEDS (try to always stay ahead of traffic)

BE SEEN (ride with your high beams on; make it known you are the the road)

DRIVE 100-200 YARDS AHEAD (always look ahead to see what is going on)

ALWAYS THINK THAT CAGERS(cars) ARE OUT TO GET YOU (remember scoots are smaller than cars so you must drive offensively and be defensive at all times, protect that piece of the slab you roll on)

REMEMBER...you are on a scoot and everyday on a scoot is holiday

In the end there is only one way to be a better scooterist and that is to practice.

So get out there and start Rollin on 2!
