Denver Scooter Gang in the Spotlight

Cheers to Suzi Homewreker and the Mods and Knockers of Denver who are the focus of this short film called, Fast Girls, Slow Bikes.

Description from the site:

“Fast Girls, Slow Bikes” tells the story of a tight knit all girls gang brought together by a mutual love of classic Vespa and Lambretta scooters.
Focusing on the lives of “Suzi Homewreker,” “Rara Rass,” “Lolisa,” “Spam,” and “Vega,” “Fast Girls, Slow Bikes” navigates Denver’s Mile High Streets, the wilds of friendship, and the challenge of unexpected tragedy, all from a two-wheeled perspective.
Featuring fast paced ride scenes that put the viewer on the scoot, personal interviews about the camaraderie of the club, and original music by Suzi Homewreker, “Fast Girls, Slow Bikes” will make the viewer want to buy a vintage scooter and start their own damned club!

It was made in 2009, but I just heard of it. Check it out!

Seattle Scooters Spotlighted

The Seattle Times did a piece on local scootering mentioning Westenders Scooter Club, Vespa Club of Seattle and Capitol Hill Scooter Society.

Maine Scooterists Profiled

Maine newspaper, The Sun Journal recently profiled some local scooterists who have formed a club called, Idle Threats. If you are a vintage scooter enthusiast, you know well the story of some regular guys with an obsession; the lengths they go to so fuel that obsession and the friendship that arises from it.

It may be a familiar story, but I never tired of hearing it.

There is also a photo gallery by Amber Waterman which is fun to view.
