Today was finally the day of “Lobster Roll” scooter ride. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long 6 weeks since I first found out about it.

Check out this new forum by long time friend and scooter expert Jack Ryan. Jack is the kind of guy that will buy a scooter and disassemble it (completely) to figure out how it works. He has more files, manuals, tips, and tricks than almost anyone I know. A true [...]
The many directions a family gets pulled these days found my wife working, my oldest son at a friends, and my youngest son (almost 10) and I home alone together this afternoon. He of course was “BORED”. So I asked him if he’d like to go for a scooter ride.
