I wanted to see this movie before posting it, to make sure the scooter wasn’t just on the cover… and it is just on the cover, but there’s actually a different scooter that stars in the movie (red & white, modded out and quite hot).

If I was, like, 17 again, this would be my favorite movie. The writing and acting are super-cheesy, but it’s a fun premise (12-step program for vampires who want to quit killing people).

If you don’t get too queasy seeing a nice bike dragged behind a redneck’s pickup, or seeing some tender sheep loving, check it out. Amazon.com has it.

Astrosatchel.JPG

Not many people know this, but “satchel” is one of my least favorite words. It seems OK with “astro” in front of it, though.
Astrosatchel has sweet bag designs, including scooters. This is the only one I found online, but I have a little green-and-silver scooter coin purse that I bought at Dish-n-Dat before it went out of business. Click here to see retailers.

Found in the “his birthday” card section at Target – the black scooter design is fuzzy like velvet! The message inside says something about hoping your birthday is a joy ride.
