Four legs good, two wheels bad
| November 6, 2008 | Filled under Blog |
Traveled on Interstate 10 today on a 30-year-old scooter flanked by a police escort during a funeral procession for a friend I didn’t know well but was still sad to lose. In all, there were 20 +/- scooterists riding right behind the lead car. We must have been a sight to behold, and the whole affair made me very proud of the small community we have.
However, I have a dire question regarding the hierarchy of police officers who do not ride in enclosed vehicles. Specifically, where do scooter cops lie in the ranks of the shield? I can’t decide if they belong above or below cops on bicycles. Best I can figure, it goes like this:
- Motorcycle cops
- Horse cops
- Bicycle cops
- Scooter cops (the scooters, after all, are automatics)
- Segway cops
Your thoughts please. It’s very urgent.
are you on modernvespa.com?

I’m not, though I should be. But we ride vintage Vespas — a 1963, a 1978 and a 1979.
i would love to go vintage, though i enjoy my large commuter [GT].
modern vespa is modern, vintage, and some MP3′s thrown in.
anyway- like the blog, thought i would say hi.
