SCOOTER TRAIL RIDING

Scootering on quite gravel roads for many is considered the perfect outing, but for wild and crazy guys like Randy and myself it is a little too boring.
Give us some mud, ruts and uncharted scooter territory. We like terrain that warns of danger and impending doom.
We found such a trail out near my home a couple of weeks ago. Not only was the trail ominous, but the sky was indicating a possible thunder storm. With a caviler attitude Randy, who's nick name is Mud Slinger, continued on the trail with his steely eyes fixed on the challenging terrain.
Randy and I may like to live on the edge when scootering pushing our skills and machines to the limit, but we also know when to call it good enough and turn back. When we encountered a steep hill on the trail we knew that we had met our match. Next year our scooter will have 12" on clearance when we toss our stock tires and replace them with aggressive knobbies. We still are in negotiations with Man vs. Wild to pay for the custom jobs on our scooters. We hope to do a couple of shows.
