Alix succeeds in putting peace on the map!

Thursday, August 14, 2008

From the PeaceScooter website: I’ve done it! What was a dream 14 months ago is now real! We can all rest well knowing that a 22,000 mile Peace sign is on the map. It looks like a four year old scribbled it there, but the stories are wise. I still have so much to tell […]

Lawrence of the Golden Triangle SC informed me of a little project called The ScootStars. The premise is two dudes riding across the USA on a couple of cheap scooters. At 29mph it’s a bit too scenic for my tastes. They are about a third of the way through it right now. If they could […]

(You’d have to be some sorta big ape to hate on a scooter) In Taipei, Taiwan an orangutan with the with disdain for plastic twist-n-goes went on a bashfest, tossing and tipping countless scooters before finally being hit with a tranquilizer dart full of weapons grade Guinness. The orangutan was recovered and placed back in […]
