• Biker vs. Geek - Who's the mouse and who's the man

  Austin isn't the only town in Texas putting scooters on the YouTube. Texas motorcycle magazine Texas Iron also has something to say about scooter geeks (like myself).

• Did you know about - The Suzuki Street Magic TR50?

  What happens when you slap a 2-stroke 50cc Suzuki engine on an under-bone frame minibike? You get the Suzuki Street Magic TR50. I believe they were built between 1997 and 2005. A slightly bigger version was built at the same time called the Street Magic... Posted Jun 11 2008, 04:23 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Motorcycle, Suzuki

• Who made the "worst bike ever"?

  (A poorly built bike is one thing, but a bike that's out to KEEEL you is a whole 'nother ballgame!)

• If I had to have a motorcycle in my garage...

  I know it's been less than a year since I was last sweating over this bike but a friend of mine in Japan snapped some recent shots of the rare and wonderful Suzuki SW-1.

• Off topic a bit - The Italjet Grifon 650

  No, it's not a scooter. I try very hard to make this a site dedicated to motor scooters, microcars, mopeds and oddities... but given my relationship with Italjet, I wanted to give you an idea on how they are making strides to get back in the game...

• Two wheeled car pooling

  How do you get 6 grown men to work if you've only got a motorcycle? You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Video quality is kinda crappy, but it gets the point across. Posted Dec 04 2007, 04:27 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Motorcycle, Funny, Video, OMG

• A most expensive way to roast marshmallows

  So you're a young kid and want to roast marshmallows but, what do you do when you've got more money than sense? Buy an expensive crotch rocket and twist the throttle until something cool happens.

• Worlds most environmentally friendly motorcycle

  This is either the greenest motorcycle I've ever seen (with a tree growing out of it's gas tank), OR this is the rare motorcycle eating tree (related to but not to be confused with India's "cow eating tree ").
