The &lt;a href="http://scooterbbs.com" target="_blank_"&gt;first link&lt;/a&gt; is a great resource for learning about scooters, and scoot culture. They've got a classifieds section, mechanicle section, and much much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then there's the FAQ's link. great great link from a scoot club out in NYC. lots of great info there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then the third one is a relaly simple link if you don't know too mmuch about scoots and want to know what kind would be good for you and what you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in a sad sort of an update, the scoot linked below in the first official W.A.S.P. newsletter was purchased, but unfortunately not by Mr. Portuguese.

This is a big hookup for us. Parts, entire scoots, seats, tuneups, whatever. This is a big hookup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, please second any motions you agree with for ratification, and we will be able to wrap the gavel on our first W.A.S.P. newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;scooterly, and italian&lt;br /&gt;St. Ellsworth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mr. Portuguese, in response&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To his holiness of the the Scoot, Saint. Ellsworth,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forthwith I second all motions made by your person in the first official W.A.S.P newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The names of both ourselves and the organization being official, I recommend we do the only appropriate thing.  This being, to lord it over all others we come in contact with who have missed their opportunity to join such a riotous (and righteous) group.  This will insure both our superiority and that no one will want to join the group later on, out of jealousy and irritation at our annoying talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also; I have visited the auction of note and have contacted the illustrious seller.  Based on the further investigation on scooter engine-rebuild pricing etc, we may have our first addition into the W.A.S.P arsenal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This hereby concludes my addition to the already momentous and historic W.A.S.P newsletter #1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Portuguese esq.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10890475-110861626478343095?l=waspsnest.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://waspsnest.blogspot.com/feeds/110861626478343095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10890475&amp;postID=110861626478343095' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10890475/posts/default/110861626478343095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10890475/posts/default/110861626478343095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://waspsnest.blogspot.com/2005/02/wasp-newsletter-1.html' title='W.A.S.P.  newsletter #1'/><author><name>KMOB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14329416762560855828</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14692712294182579706'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
