Two and an engine counts in my book. Yep, Scoots included. The mods and rockers days are over and two wheelers need to stick together to help stop the stupid dogooders banning us all or forcing us to put stabilsers on the darn things.
Comrades!

Yes indeed!
I'm tempted to write an entry on the subject of negative attitudes towards bikes/scooters...can't believe how poorly bikes are thought of in Australia/Queensland by all levels of govt and the media - e.g. hypocritical calls in the media to outlaw filtering because of safety - hypocritical because these types of statements have nothing to do with safety but all to do with the fact that people making them are car drivers who get all road-ragey when bikes cruise past them while they are stuck in a traffic jam.
Mind you, I wrote to the minister suggesting it be specifically legalised and was (in the usual patronising tones of ministerial responses) that filtering resulted in breaking several rules anyway - so the people calling for bans are idiots for that reason if nothing else...
Went to Italy for a holiday and it was wonderful to see how many people were on bikes, parking everywhere and zipping alongside and around cars - totally different attitude.
