P.E.A.C.E. Scooter - Putting peace on the map, literally
Don't start to worry, I'm not gonna go all "crazy whacked out enviro-whatever" on you or anything. I'm not going hippy and talking all about peace and all that. Sure, peace is well and fine - I'm certainly all for it, but that's not the point of this post. So, what is the point? Making a statement. Making a point, or in this several points - on a map, that is. The plan for Alix B. is to make a virtual "peace sign" on the map. She will make the entire trip, all 9000 miles of it on her Genuine Scooters Buddy 125. For those who don't know, Genuine Scooters was started by a group of scooterists. Their first product was the Stella, a two-stroke 150 cc bike which looked very much like the old Vespa PX model. They imported them from India, and rumor has it that they might start importing them again this year - we'll see. Anyway, the Buddy is a more modern design, with an automatic transmission and a four stroke engine. Alix chose to make this trip by scooter to promote alternative transportation choices. This will be a two month journey, so if you are into the idea, check out her site and see if she'll be near you at some point.

And without further ado...."here's alix."
Thanks for the blurb-I guess. You hit the proverbial nail on head as far as my alternative vehicle choices.
Otherwise, I was wondering if you are implying that I am a "hippy" or "crazy whacked out enviro-whatever" because I believe in Peace and Environmental consideration?
Don't point one finger-Point Two! (thats a peace sign-trust me-you don't have to be a hippy to believe in it!)
Thanks for the post by the way!
Cheers!

Alix, I think it's great that you found your way to our site and the post about your ride. Negatory good buddy... I didn't mean to imply that you were anything other than somebody willing to ride a scooter painting a peace sign on the map. What I meant was that this site is not meant for anything other than green auto's and transportation choices and alternatives. That's why I wrote the post about your trip.
Sometimes we go past transportation for the occasional posting about other things green, if they are interesting enough. I just didn't want anybody reading into the story any more than what my intention was.
I hope all goes well. Wish you were going to be somewhere closer to Ohio or Michigan. I'd meet up with you for a little of the ride... like for a day or so.
