You're getting FREE advice here, so if you ask a question, use caps & punctuation! If you are too lazy to abide by my submission rules, I'll hit delete faster than you can shake a stick! 
I get a lot of people writing me with various questions about scooters and scooting. Sometimes I can answer them, but sometimes I can't. I don't profess to be knowledgeable about all types of scooters or every issue related to scooters. I'm just a gal who loves to scoot, wanted to share that passion with the Web world and also provide a central research spot where people could learn more about scooters and meet up with other scooter lovers.
But along the way to building this site, a truly wonderful thing happened... A great group of fellow scooter lovers, most of whom are much more knowledgeable than me about the kinds of questions you all leave here, found the site and started joining in on answering the questions! Not only that, but they answer them sometimes within minutes of them going live and always with a great deal of helpfulness.
Here's a gratitude-filled shout out to my ever reliable scooter friends, Jim Z., Ron from CT, Scooterchick, Bob the Artist, Happy Old Scoot, Texas Boy, Yoly and everyone else who takes the time to help new or struggling scooterists get answers to their questions. I'm sure I've missed a few regulars, but you know who you are & I appreciate you too!
But back to YOU... If you have motor scooter questions, then scan the categories below and then go to that page and look to see if your question has already been asked and answered. If not, feel free to submit it and someone will be getting back to you real soon, I'm sure.

***Question Submission Rules***
Yes... sigh... I said rules. As a died-in-the-wool "rule hater", I have resisted putting this up on my well-loved scooter site. I hate the idea of having to apply rules to anything to do with scooters. After all, aren't we a bit of a maverick bunch? (I like to think so, anyway...) But here's the thing...
Regular visitors to this site might have noticed that sometimes it takes me a few days to publish questions or respond to inappropriate comments/answers. That's because I can't just approve every submitted question right away. I often have to go in and do major editing, which means I have to dedicate a couple of hours every few days to get through everything. If the whole question is really too hard even to edit, I might even just hit my delete button out of frustration.
Listen, I don't expect my visitors to write like English scholars or to word everything like a term paper. But I do ask that you use correct punctuation, make an attempt at correct spelling and use reasonable capitalization. Since you're getting free advice in return, I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?
So, accordingly, I ask that you READ THESE RULES before submitting your question... If you don't, your question might never see the light of day. Are you with me?
Have A Question About Scooters or Scootin'?
Do you have a question about scooters or scootin? We'll try to help! But please scan through and make sure someone hasn't already asked your question, so we don't have duplicate questions/answers on the site. (THANKS!)
